Call me odd but I don't like the thought of MS forcing yet another app (the Xbox app) on me

They're not forcing you to, you can update without it.

XBox is the name of their entire gaming division, not just the console. The App is used for PC games on PC.

I had a Stuttgart airport installed from Flightsim.to (until I renamed the community folder). Would be interesting to see which one is better and if they, maybe, interfere.

Kind regards, Michael

Just in from MS:

"

We are aware that some users who own Microsoft Flight Simulator through the Microsoft Store are experiencing issues with installing World Update VI. This is an intermittent issue on the Microsoft Store that is affecting many titles including Microsoft Flight Simulator.

In addition to following the steps linked to in our update support guide, we also advise that you download and update the most recent Xbox app update from the Microsoft Store. This workaround has been working well for those not seeing the update:

1. Go to the Microsoft Store and search for the 'Xbox' App.

2. Download the 'Xbox' App and click 'Launch'.

3. Once the Xbox App is running, go back to the Microsoft Store to 'Downloads and Updates' and click 'Get Updates'

4. The MSFS update should start to download."

I have Justsim's version. If I had known Asobo would make up for the blunder of not including EDDS in the base sim for over a year by adding a handcrafted version for free, I would probably not spent that money.

Cloud reflections are improved as well (wonder if that has to do with the new raymarched setting in graphics options).

What new setting?

Really wondering which airport is better.

Just another confimation that installing the xbox app on the pc does push the FS2020 update. Why? Who knows? It does work though. I normally see the FS2020 updates right away in the store, so this is something that has changed for whatever reason.

I just installed the XBOX app, re-started windows then the store - no update for me.  Launching MSFS states a mandatory update is required but nothing!

Scroll to the bottom of the graphics settings - there's a "Raymarched Reflections" setting there now...

Ohhhhhh nice! 

Has anybody gotten the new scenery yet?

My download went pretty smoothly, then went to Content Manager where everything updated quickly except Nordic. Apparently I caught the slow download train on that one, downloading at 1-2 MB per sec.

No mention of DACH scenery and Nordic is gonna take all day, I fear.

i thought they might have included a fix to fix the ai not departing and ai having lights,

The XBox app has to be running when you check updates in the store.

New World Updates are downloaded from the marketplace, not the content manager.

It's been this way since the very first one last September.

They look slightly better than before, but not much when there's no wind.
