I think clouds look better and more complex after today's hotfix. Is it just my imagination?

I have the MS store version , in over a year now I have had zero issues with any and all updates . I always start with the forums for any heads ups on any issues , then off to the MS store for it's update , then straight into the Sim to complete the process like Rob A. has laid out .

 

I think you and Rob A have found the solution. I bet it cures all future update problems for those that don't have the Steam version.

i.e. if an update is announced, then do not start MSFS. Instead head to the MS store.

No problems for me until this update.  5 hours of looking for an answer why the xbox and store apps will not connect to the Internet.

I have Steam and a Xbox account that I opened when I bought MSFS. As far as I remember, I had to open it then in addition to the Microsoft account.

Now, I do not have to deal with my Xbox account anymore  when updating as it is automatically opened when I start Windows. For the record, I have no other games here.

I click the desktop MSFS icon to start the sim which connects me to Steam and downloads a launcher. When the launcher is in , I have to click to play the game, validate the update after "the check for updates" page and thats it. The sim goes and find the update all alone. Three clicks. Then of course I have to fetch additional small updates in the Content Manager or a free regional DLC in the market place.

 

Sounds like I still need the xbox app if I buy the Steam version 😒  The Xbox app refuses to connect to the Internet.

I’ve been doing this since day one and never had an issue. 1 minute job each time.

I just started MSFS, after Hotfix, and my cockpit views for the DC6 are screwed up. Going to try a restart. 

Maybe a Windows re-install required? 😆 Just joking. Hope you get it resolved.

I don't see anything about the LOD distance in the change log. Why were you expecting any changes to LOD distance?

I know Tree LOD fix isn't in the hotfix notes, does that mean it's still broken?

Probably.

And if he has problems with the LOD: go into the settings file and fix it. 
 

But ranting is easier than opening Notepad 🙂

Hotfix install was easy, Sim is running again-today.😜

Was realy scared as I made touchdown, long time ago 🤣

Looks they got it-we will see. 🤔

At my side is the Drone at 100% running fast again. 🦅

LOD setting works great on my end. Using stock 200. I see no popping scenery at all. Draw distance as far as you can see.
