Thanks for checking for me. The last version worked well and I noticed no issues.

I'll try downloading again.

Can anyone verify the new default profiles for the CH Products?  

I spent a good amount of time and energy mapping and adjusting my CH Flight Yoke, and I don't want to have to do it all again.

 

I did not look at the default mappings but the update did not change anything in my personal profile. Not even sure why Asobo would bother with it.

Sim Update 4 (1.16.2.0) is now live!..... unlike my hopes of seeing ground-handling for prop planes sorted ....  but then again perhaps i'm aiming too high .... an earlier poster expresses an interest in having tyre-smoke .... maybe i should request they simulate blue ice .............  appropriate as the game a crock of same  .... (i refuse to use the word 'simulation' as i've yet to witness a real aircraft behave like a bucket of snakes on landing)

They have supplemented the NavBlue database for US airports with the FAA CIFP procedural database. It’s about time! As a result, a bunch of US airports that have been missing approaches ever since the sim was released last August now have them. This won’t matter for those who already use the Navigraph beta MSFS nav data replacement, but good news for those who do not want to pay for additional nav data, but rely on the monthly updates from Asobo.

The chances are very low, but better safe than sorry...

Absolutely, but again the point I was making is that Asobo have provided contradictory instructions, one saying clear the Community folder before updating and the other saying empty the folder after updating if you experience problems.

was unable to get it setup properly 

There are a number of Utube videos that helped me with setting it up. Truly is a must-have utility for MSFS.

No problems here, no performance diference, and the "not installed" scenery mods at the community folder issue is fixed.-

I moved the entirely community folder to other place, so MSFS built a new one, which I replaced with the old one, and no problem at all.-

3 Hours of flying, no CTD yet, used to get CTD's in last version occasionally with certain addons (we shall see)...

A few things I'd still like to see

1) Ability to load external addons without having to reload the game
2) There are still issues with flattens and excludes when building custom airports (I think they are working on this)
3) Improve ATC and fix RNAV (Coming hopefully soon)

..and while they are at it:

4) Add a pretty startup splash screen (how hard can that be..) 😀

Anyone know what ATC phraseology has been changed?

31 updates in Content Manager. All Aviator Club Liveries. Already had them installed so I don;t know if they changed something with them or what. Seems I remember them reinstalling on a previous update too.

Wow, that's a lot of changes - looks promising! In particular changes to icing, turboprops, trim, weather radar. And I'm happy to see the end of this one that has been haunting me for a while now: 

  • Fixed resetting position peripheral input position when user exits the pause menu

Sadly I had a loop at the end of the extraction phase, so had to restart. Instead of a few GBs I now have a whooping 53.95GB to download. Go figure... 🤢
