I had to do my install after midnight when bandwidth is available.  3 weeks for me.

bs

Yup 6 hours for 10 gigs.  Still have 130 to go.  Have plenty of speed coming in also.  MS really needs to fix this.  If anything it's a marketing nightmare.  New users will never wait for this.  Even COD users can d/l roughly the same game size in 2-3 hours on a 100 mb connection.

After update, left A320 ND does not work ... only the right one does !!!

Mine works. Try to delete and reinstall the aircraft from the content manager.

No! Don’t tempt fate uninstalling and reinstalling an aircraft. That will not fix this issue. It is a known bug. Rather hit Escape key and select option to Restart Flight. The flight restarts quickly, no long wait time and you should be good to go. It is a random thing, sometimes your screens work, sometimes they don’t. Affects the A320 and other aircraft. Asobo/MSFS BUG introduced since the last update.

My you know what appears to be about 20% larger. Thank you Asobo and Microsoft!

Next time you should backup your Official folder, too. Then first install the main program via Marketplace/Steam and before you run it, restore the Official folder (it sits right beside Community). When you start MSFS it will check the files for two minutes, no download, ready.

I'm re-installing the entire sim on a new PC, not on the old PC.

Doesn't matter. Just copy the Official folder.

Ah rgr, didn't think about that.  In any case, I'm not sure it's a MS issue now.  Someone near me was getting 50 down.  My PC has to be throttling me somewhere and I can't find out where.

So. Did a test flight before going to bed yesterday. The issue seems to be just about cured for me at least:

Flybywire A320 going from LIRZ to ENGM. Nice, but partly cloudy weather at LIRZ. Gorgeous sun shafts between the clouds and all around a very scenic views. Took off with no performance issues. Fluid and smooth. Climbed up to FL380 and admired the view (holy moly this sim is visually orders of magnitude better than the competition). Winds were spot on as per windy.com. Descending into Gardemoen (ENGM) the weather turned atrocious. The METAR said (among other things) OVC 002. Rain was whipping the glass (nicely done effect IMHO) madly on approach and I could barely at times make out some tree tops here and there. During all this time in this horrible weather, the performance was nothing short of spectacular. Properly impressed. Try to get those visuals and weather in the other sims and enjoy your slide show. I flew the IFR approach and just beforce my minimum I got a clear(ish) view of the aiport and hand-flew down to the tarmac. During this 3h flight I never had the performance tank like before (have done the route a couple of times before and at times I've wanted to ram my fist through the monitor). Fingers crossed this was is..

The trick is, next time not to buy an entirely new PC, but to keep your old drives and OS installation.

That's what I did for my MSFS PC upgrade last year, because I had no intetntion of reinstalling the tons of software.

And because it is cheaper to upgrade components instead of buying a completely new PC. You just have to make sure that the old casing is big enough for the demands of ventilation of the more powerful new CPU.

I agree, issue solved, gained about 8-10 FPS over Seattle in 1440p

Well, I guess I've been lucky so far when it comes to CTDs even with many add-ons installed.

This morning I updated the MSFS and when flying from newly installed UUEE to EFHK with FBW A320N (dev version) I got my third ever CTD after 15-20 min of flight. First the sound became distorted and in a few seconds the flight was over. I don't know whether this was due to hotfix or nice freeware UUEE.

The update is good, but it may have sacrificed some LOD detail, appears mainly in buildings and other rendered objects.  

lmao

[Alpine Scenery 1,609]

Well I am developing an airport, so it may only be in Dev mode, but not sure why it's funny?

I've seen the same buildings 1000x at 100 different distances, that's why I noticed something weird.

Not if you change also the motherboard.
