Revised; beta to go live Jan 6th

[Ixoye 1,821]

I logged out as a Steam Beta user earlier today and the update went great without the need to install anything from the content manager.

Hence why I didn’t install the beta. Looks like the concern wasn’t without substance. 

As i stated already, no real loss, just over the hour for a new complete installation. Everything back up, and moved with addon linker.And had the joy of my sim working fine for the past month

i have  a question for you all. i removed myself from the beta on the xbox insider app. i then opened the sim in the xbox app and the update installed flawlessly and now im flying. everything worked great!  my question is this: do i need to now rejoin the beta in the xbox insider app? or was that what the update i just installed did to my sim? thanks!

No, the beta has finished. You now have the release version.

Nope you have to point the installer to your custom location, if you don't have a custom install location yeah then 🤢

I made this blunder. I thought my install was bugged or something so I deleted the entire thing lol.

No, but I don't doubt your one of many. It was like the issues with Assistance options changing and even in between flights.

At least they're finally beta testing before release.

Hope you get a fix soon

Yep sure did! I set the user.cfg to read only to keep my settings...PITA

once you have installed today's patch successfully and everything is working as expected, let's not forget to FORMAT drive C and re-install Windows or was it the other way around? I can see this forum getting flooded with the usual stories anytime soon.  😊

I have always thought of writing this (your above post) here in the forums in the past - but I never have - thinking it would not be understood as humour!

I would highly recommend also, pulling the config.sys wire.  It is any of the available red wires inside the case, just give it a hard pull.

MSStore/Xbox app are where the issues are.  The Steam version was one click to select the Beta.  Yesterday it was one click on 'none'.  The update today was 500K and it run as normal.  So glad I changed to the Steam version after SU5.

I never have payed twice for the same Flight Sim.

Couldn't have said it better. I will gladly trade the last few weeks of using a perfectly working program for the loss of 1.5 hours of reinstalling it.

Last four updates went smooth as silk, if you don't count the bugs they contained. This one looks like the best of the bunch.
