What is the 48 GB more in the content manager please? I am pretty new to MSFS and thought that once you install the world updates then that was it.

it was only 800MB for me, and I have all the previous world updates and every edition of the sim installed.

Haven't updated yet, but it looks exaggerated to me that amount of patches/updates of 48GB, almost 45% of the total sim assets. Something's wrong with other's setups.

Updates and patches to the previous World Updates

48gb?

Whoever had that many didn't INSTALL the previous world updates 😄

It was like 4gb for WU 7, and 2gb total patching after the current WU, and that included a ton of carenado updates and a Reno update.

@Tuskin38 Well at least they got the props turning the correct way this time! Unlike the Ju....!

Yeah, a shame really. While the model and texturing are perfect, the dumbing down of everything else makes it un-appealing for a southern or trans-atlantic crossing. Refuelling mid-air via the toolbar? Ouch. And the file to add a few extra tanks is hidden somewhere in their encrypted content. After the JU and now this one, sorry MS, this is so not right.

Arrived safely at YSSY.. No issues on the flight. Used the very excellent Acropolis Aviation G-KELT Livery and imported everything through simbrief.

Over the years i have learnt in flightsim to avoid anything default like the plague. Visually you're spot on! It looks stunning, However ORBX(they made this) are hardly known as aircraft developers and you get what you paid for. In this case zilch....🤣

How are you fellers checking to see if the update with the new world scenery took place properly?

I ask because even though I updated everythign in the content manager and marketplace I have gone to several airports in the west and east such as LOWI and LOWW and they seem the same as before the update.  Same for smaller airfields like LOKL and LOLU.  And no big rock in the middle of any desert neither even though I've been flying around for hours looking for it.

I just flew around Jervis Bay. It looked awesome, mate!

And no issues with the updates.

Are we sure that they didn't sneak in a fix or two? I've had a noticeable stutter in the interface music before getting into the map as well as intermittent sounds in sim since before SU7. After today's update, it's all nice and fluid and steady.

Did you check in World Updates? I thought I had all the updates, till I checked for the new challenges and found that they needed to be downloaded. The link there took me to World Updates.

Say we have FlyTampa's YSSY.  After we download the world update, do we need to disable the custom Asobo one in the addons manager?  Or is that not an issue.

Updated with no issues.
