Just a heads up.

After downloading the MS store update, and then the WU patch for the game client, then going to the ingame store and getting the free nordics update, THEN I had to download several individual packs for airports and bushtrips for the nordics. 

 

The individual packs, were they in the Content Manager or Marketplace?

But it doesn't work!!

Content manager.

 

Now it's my turn to ask questions 🙂

How do I find the world updates I have installed? Im searching in the content manager for "world" or "nordic", but my search comes up empty. I have 237 items in my installed list. 

EDIT: The search doesnt come up empty, but only lists nordic procedural buildings and points of interest.

Just go into the marketplace and look for your installed products. It will list them as owned and downloaded if you have them.

Yeah it lists them as owned there, but am I not supposed to find all the optional content I got in the content manager? Or ..??

I don't know, I'm guessing they're in the Marketplace? I had to sort through the list in the left side to find it and download it, but it's still downloading so I can't check right now.

Hmm, I didn't even need the content manager for the world updates. I just "bought" them in the marketplace, and then it downloaded all of the individual content packages in each update all at once.

Go into Marketplace,  Select Free then check yes.  All world updates that are installed etc will be there.

This update makes me wonder again what MSFS is doing that makes it SO SLOW to decompress the files it's downloaded - they are just standard zip file and with a new update like this it's not even got to apply deltas to existing data.

Yeah, you cant get the world update through the content manager, you have to use the marketplace for that. But afterwards I would expect to find the free content listed in the content manager..??

 

The reason Im asking is because I had some hickups in the sim during download. The sim would become unresponsive, so I wanted to make sure it installed ok.

Wait a minute, I'm gonna check.

1.17.3.0 not available yet in the MS store for me. Rebooted pc, tried different networks, VPNs, the whole lot but it is just not showing up in the store updates. No big deal will give it a try later or tomorrow.

Alright, yes, the packages should show in the content manager. Here I searched for "Iceland", for example.

Anyone run into problems after the update? Just want to wait, if this update causes issues. 

 

 

 

@Der Zeitgeist thanks, but that leaves me a bit confused. So I downloaded the Nordic update, which was ... oh i cant remember, several gigabytes at least, and looked to me to be 1 solid, single item. Are you saying that instead it downloads it as many individual components?
