Still waiting on the update to finish downloading. File fs-base-cgl-0.1.30.fspatch.001 takes forever and has started redownloading a couple of dozen times right now. Somtimes it downloads only a 100MB, sometimes more then 1,5GB but it never reaches the end. Had it happen on a another file in the beginning but that one finally "catched". So still waiting on this one. GB into the download process, still waiting on the last 6,5GB... (pause-resume-reboot etc...no joy for the moment).

Performance has indeed been improved for me, and I am yet to see any new bugs regarding the AP. However the update introduced an annoying issue where I suddenly have buildings on the runway where there previously were none. That, and it seems like I have no landing lights on the King Air. Anyone else seen this?

However I too am mystified at the process going on with this product. There is just no way some of the things that have cropped up in this release should have occurred and released in this condition. The A320 left engine issue and the mach/speed toggle being broken seem like items that cannot be released.

They still have that HUGE group of alpha/beta testers which (or part of which) they could reactivate for beta testing the patches - instead of just forcing them under a brainless NDA.

Kind regards, Michael

I'm glad we got this patch, but I'm also a bit worried about Asobo not releasing hotfixes. So, now we are supposed to just live with the newly introduced bugs for a few weeks until we get the next patch?

Who says they're "not releasing hotfixes"? Have you got an official Source for this information please, thank you.

There is no substitute for each team of devs to check their own work.

It looks like, "The patch downloads so slowly!" has become the new "Let me into the alpha!"

Having the same problem with this : File fs-base-cgl-0.1.30.fspatch.001 takes forever and has started redownloading a couple of dozen times right now

Any ideas how to get the D/L to finish, or is it worthwhile to just uninstall the sim and start6 with a fresh download

Me thinks you should review the concept of arrows and what they mean.

Yesterday, I had the same problem with the patch download hanging at various points. I closed the sim a few times and started it up again, but the download always stopped at some point. Eventually, I noticed that the download size wasn't 15 GB any longer but 100+ GB, so I guess the patching process somehow killed my entire installation.

I then gave up, uninstalled the rest of the sim and will probably try again in a few days.

Exactly the same here. Wasted 8 hours for endlessly looping patch files. Then decided enough was enough and uninstalled/re-installed. Just about complete now after nearly 12 hours for the whole process and another 105 gigs download.

GPU works 100% while loading the patch. This is strange.

Honestly, I might take a bit of a break from MSFS now, when the sim decided to uninstall itself. I'm kind of disappointed that they didn't patch some of the performance and fuel parameters of some planes like the jets, when it seems quite trivial to adjust things like fuel load and fuel burn by swapping out some numbers.

I was really hoping I could finally start flying the Longitude, and now that still seems to take quite a while.

Just tested the new patch... WOW!!! Massive performance improvements on my system. 

There's no more initial stuttering when jumping into an airliner at JFK (my favorite location for settings tuning), no more 100% CPU spikes, framerate is steady and much higher than before.

Loading times reduced greatly too.

Guys, if you are not seeing this and you tampered with "external fixes" before, revert to the original config files and clean up the Community folder.

Imagine if you were forced to update P3d every time an update dropped lol. Forced updates should not be a thing. 

You have to understand, that many of things in MSFS are communicate with Azure cloud. So can be strictly necessary, that all users use only the same version of MSFS.

Maybe you can teach us or summarize it in few words instead of this comment...
