There are other games that will eliminate some of your progress when things get updated - or sometimes just because it seems.  SCS Truck sims have reset progress in the past but it hasnt happened to me in a while.  MS games such as Jigsaw have reset my progress but that seemed to be more of an issue with sync and trying to play on two different machines.  I think they have that figured out now.  MSFS is still a WIP.

Something to look forward to then Tuskers. 

Just say "No".

Still nothing here.

It's not effecting everyone, so I wonder if there is something common between those who get it, or maybe it's just random.

Yeah, seems pretty random.

Follow what 109SQN did - he avoided losing his Hours by approaching cautiously and in a measured fashion that paid off his diligence.

 

Hi all

I've been away from the sim since 2nd April. Returned today and now reading about this logbook havoc. I have started the sim a few minutes ago and all went well and past the "checking for updates" screen. Checked logbook and all hours are still there. Have not started a flight yet - too scared 😆. What I have noticed is that there are 3 updates [ KSWF - KDFW and Alaska Bush trip] available in Content Manager- should I stay clear of those updates ?.

Any advice will be appreciated.

And to the simmers who lost their logbooks - I feel for you.

Greetings

Yeah, it is strange, indeed. 

I've flown the FBW A32X at least a couple of flights every day for the last week - nothing untoward has happened.

wondered if it coincided with the WU4 beta testing release/sign up?

Just got it for a second time... pretty annoyed as i was halfway through a flight, and the sim then froze.

It is a problem with the upcoming update, and apparently what was programmed into the server according to the Zendesk. 

My father just got the popup on his copy of the game (mine is on Steam)

I haven't seen anyone having problems after installing them, and ultimately the sim wants you to do that, so I would cautiously say go ahead, you should be alright.

Just don't blame me if it goes pear-shaped!😉

I installed them.

Had this message pop up during a flight with a CRJ. Forced the end of that flight! Also it changed a lot of my settings. Anyone else notice any performance impact with the "new packages"?

You could have just hit no. It would have turned off all online functions but you could have finished the flight.

None of the packages are connected to performance, it's just KDFW, KSWF and an Alaska challenge flight.

Maybe those airports have better performance now idk.

I installed the update the day it came out. The next day I got the "Package out of date" message. It happened to many people that had already update the three downloads.

Asobo tried a new beta testing system this time around but clearly not enough thought went into it. By issuing beta testers the new sim, they screwed with the primary server version number, meaning all our sims are perpetually out of date and forced to run offline. They want us to update, but when they go back to Asobo to get the update, there is nothing there yet and voila, your PC (or rather the sim) is stuck in a confused loop.

This perfectly describes what I suspect has happened, and if they already made back end changes to the server, it is probably too late to revert them now.
