Why Do I Keep Getting This Message

[BigT65 7]

Your packages are out of date.

In order to get the necessary updates and go online, you will be returned to the sign in screen.

Do you wish to continue?  

If I say yes it does not go to the sign in screen. It restarts and looks for updates like it always does but does not find any. And continues to start up. At some point later I will get that message again. This has been going on for about a week now. Does anyone have any ideas about how to cure it?

Thanks.

Look in the Content Manager (Main Menu>Profile) and update the packages that need updating.

It is unbelievable that flights get disrupted because of this. Very user unfriendly the whole process.....

Updating the packages doesn't actually solve this, people have received this message even after updating them.

This is likely tied to server updates ahead of the world update tomorrow and will probably go away then.

Recommend choosing "no" to this prompt (which turns off your data settings in the menus) or your logbook might be deleted.

You are going to lose your logbook, if you haven’t already.... Stop clicking yes or follow the suggestion in another thread in this forum. Or just leave it alone until tonight when Asobo releases the new sim update.

Hi @ChaoticBeauty, Jayne didn’t come back to the community if I am not mistaken, did she ?

Some say it won’t be released before the 15th

Well communication is certainly not one of Asobo's strong points so anything is possible.

I managed to get rid of it by hitting 'yes', then waiting. After you get the press a key and set your experience screens following about five minutes of waiting, it asked me to 'set my experience and although it binned off my logbook, which is not really a big deal, and meant I had to redo some of my options settings (fortunately it kept my custom controller and key settings), it was all okay.

I've not seen the message since I did that. However, I'm disappointed that there is no option to set your experience as 'annoying'. 🤣

Just checked, Taleboules said yesterday that they are still looking into the issue. From the looks of it, those who get the packages message do not have their logbook, stats and settings reset anymore, and they are letting people know that it is a normal thing for the next World Update, but they are still investigating for those who did lose them. Jayne is busy managing the beta test and incoming patch launch right now.

Thank you for providing some info!

Thanks CB. 

My logbook and all the stats were wiped out less than one hour ago but indeed apparently not the settings . Checking but everything to be as it was before. So now we have half a bug only.

I guess I will wait for the update and see how it goes. I have not checked to see if I still have a logbook. I will look shortly, if not I may have a backup. My logbook was full of word not allowed anyway. I wish there was an app to edit the logbook.

I got that message during a hairy IFR flight between Thunder Bay and Winnipeg on Monday afternoon (11th). I hit no, but when I landed in Winnipeg (whole other story) the ATC voice had changed and the simulated "noisiness" of the transmissions had changed from what they were when I took off from Thunder Bay. I assumed a background tweak had been performed in advance of the update--unless central Canada somehow has different ATC voices than the rest of the sim.

Right after I left this forum yesterday I started up the sim and got the new update. I downloaded and installed that then started up the sim. After flying for several minutes I got that Packages message again. And it has happened a few more times since then. So it doesn't look like the update did any good for that.

Still looking for a solution. I guess I will try some of the offered fixes I have seen

Has anyone else installed the update from Tuesday April 13 and noticed any changes in the Out of date packages message? The update was 17+ GB and it didn't change my situation at all.
