Still nothing on the awful tree LOD? 

Read the change log. If it's not mentioned then no 

AI Traffic Density setting in the menu is a bit skew and got missed before going live….Setting reads: MENU.TRAFFIC_AI_TRAFFIC_DENSITY

Can you rename the folder? Something like 'community update' This will disable it and a new empty community file will be created while you update.

Yes but you have to make a new folder called community or else the sim won't start. You'll just get a black screen. That happened to me when I just renamed it 

Did not remove anything from the Community folder. Neither did I rename it. Sim updated and starts just fine. If yours is not working and removing or renaming the folder is what fixes it you have a dodgy mod. You DO NOT need to move or clear that folder. Just know that if you have issues after updating, that must be your first point of call.

Pretty good update, no problems or so ever. The best part is the icing now is greatly reduced and no longer plane covered with snow.

The visual effects editor looks very interesting, they use node based on how to trigger the effects. I am just waiting for the tutorial and I would like play with it :).

If I'm understanding the change correctly it won't have any effect on the actual folder contents just how you download them when you first install.

Previously when you've installed MSFS from scratch you've downloaded the original release version and then every patch that has come after and installed then one on top of the other which had got to the stage of more than doubling the size of the download.

Now it sounds like they have rebaselined the installation so that you just download packages containing the latest version.

If you were to do a brand new install now, the only things you have to download after the installation are the world updates. Every sim update prior should already be rolled in the base so you wouldn't install the old base then install each update after.

What are talking about? No one said that smh

Looping at 136/148 😞 Any ideas ? Thanks.

Exited the sim and restarted. Download started from the beginning for 8.27 GB (instead of 5.79 GB) 😞

I stopped and restarted MSFS and it seems to have recommenced were it left off.

So do we still have to empty community folder prior update?

We never had to. It was just a precaution since people tend to forget that some of the stuff in there might not work with the new version and then blame crashes on the update.

But the update process itself was not being interfered with.
