OK that's probably the problem then - no Store update since 15th for me 😞

There are some guides in order to force it.

31GB mostly of rubbish I'll never use. Why they don't give selection options is beyond me. The mandatory part I understand, but there should be checkboxes for optional content such as addon liveries or airports. 

 

I am with you here. As I suspected beforehand  I had to download aircraft and airports I am not interested in, probably busting my bandwidth cap for the month in the process. A mandatory 25.45 GB download for not much value for me doesn't make sense.

Quick load of sim slide show looks like we are going to have to rethink graphic settings for DX12 - back to day job 🙂

Or switch back to DX11 and wait until 12 is properly implemented.

I had the same problem, quit the game and restart, that got me through.

I tried that. Now it says the download is 2.05gb and loops back to the start after downloading  762.46mb

nah just toggle back to DX11. DX12 is putting much more load on the GPU now so you're not mainthread limited, but it needs a lot of optimizing.

word not allowed 33GB plus an addition 3GB, these updates are killing my monthly bandwidth cap 😞

@Tuskin38 mentioned the splash screen is notorious for lying to us and the update is really 16 gigs, which is still a lot.

It's really 16GB? How come it shows 27.85GB/33.37GB downloading for me then? I thought the 16.06GB was something else. Or is 16GB the actual download size and once uncompressed it's 33GB?

Almost finished downloading, the 3 improvements I'm most happy looking forward to:

1 Allow inputs to be mapped on key/button release
2 Fixed a crash that could occur when flying near cities with a lot of autogen buildings
3 DEV MODE: Improved teleport window

 

Especially number 1. Push down a key or button and something happens and when released something completely different happens (instead of just stop doing the first thing). We had this in CH Control Manager 20 years ago!

Teleport window usually worked before but sometimes messed up royally (change location without going back to the main menu).

 

@Tuskin38 could you provide info on how to validate what the actual is?

Brilliant, there goes xmas flying eh...

Yup, Just tried my first flight with the update and TrackIR was a no go. Fiddled around for a few minutes, rebooted the sim, nothing. Totally unflyable without TIR. Hope this gets hotfixed  ASAP. 

TrackIR does work, but it gets toggled off if it loses "contact". There is a toggle head tracking key to be assigned which turns it back on. Annoying but well so it is....

My download stuck at 91 percent downloading fs-base-soundbanks-0.1.47.fspatch.

it downloaded this file to 100 percent. Then the counter reset to 90 percent and the download restarted again, and again, and again.

after an hour of this tango, I gave up - had to use Task Manager to bail out of the update as there was no other option.

I see problems ahead..

 

An Update ...

Rebooting computer, run SFC /Scannow - no errors - relaunch Steam, Start MSFS - resumed at stuck download. This time no problem - cruised through. So I have no idea what was happening there!?

Updated

The Volocopter seems.... underwhelming. Or maybe I'm just missing some tricks on how to fly it?

Tried DX12, no crashes but inconsistent framerate and lots of stuttering so back to DX11

The sim reset my assistance options all to easy twice already but it looks like third time is the charm now. Off to try the Porter.

10 % in 15 Minutes-no more flying today 😞

Quote myself 🙂

 

Flying was sucessful, no errors found, but a lot of settings to renew or set.

Best of all -NO "CONTINUED" BUTTON ON SHUT DOWN - YAEHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 👍
