Just got a mandatory Update Notice when starting MSFS

[Bobsk8 12,489]

I just started MSFS and a Notice that there is a Mandatory Update at the Microsoft store. It's 1 GB and downloading now, as soon as I went to the store. Anyone else get this?  I wonder what this will break?

Me too. Nothing on their forum yet.

It's probably the hotfix mentioned in yesterday's weekly update.

Yup, got it in the store right now too.

Thanks for the headsup Bob!

Looks like tree LOD has been reduced even further.

I just did a little flight around Nantes There is indeed the city of Nantes but nothing around.I landed fast because I feel much better now in an airport surrounded by trees than in the air.It feels less lonely.

Do you find that you float a lot when you do a fast landing?

I especially find that the performance is quite impressive on my old pc. Hard to say I did a quick flight looking for a nice crowded horizon.

Sorry mate, I meant that as a funny sarcasm with no malice intended.  It had very little to do with what you actually said.
