flew around Lisbon today in f18 around 500mph and got a CTD about 10 min in above LPPT.   Was smooth as silk till it CTD'd.  oh well.   

You were advised a few times to reduce your speed bellow 10k feet.

People were complaining about the noise, and my cup of coffee splashed due to the wake, so, we had to CTD-ya... 🙂

If you installed the game via the Xbox app instead of the MS store app, the update procedure is not unlike Steam:
Start the Xbox app and select the update button next to Flight Simulator. After it has installed the base update, you can start MSFS and it will tell you there is additional content.

Same with the MS Store. Since release i have only once found the install weird. and that one time was when they required the additional xbox app.. Never used that app again after that. for me its 

Update released ?  Yes

Go directly to the MS store.. select apps .. hit the update button. It will usually show an update for the sim. In the rare occasion it does not i reboot the system and try again. Once the MS store application is updated .. start the sim then it will update the core stuff.. The optional World update .. grab it from the marketplace and install that. The sim will also notify you via the content manager if additional stuff needs an update. 

I realize most are looking for a one click solution but meh .. This aspect is on the lowest rung of complaints i have about this sim.

I dont know why Asobo insist in such a complicate way to update MSFS.- In this case, once you initiate the sim,  it  first sends you back to the M.Store, where you must find the way to find the update, which is not easy and diferent each time, second you must download a mandatory update from the sim itself. So why updates can't I be downloaded everytime from within the game as happens at all other games ?

 

This ultra long and not user friendly update process reminds me of public services in bureaucracys:

That isn't Asobo's fault. They don't control how Microsoft distributes the software on their store.

Also I'm guessing the reason the core World Update content is in the marketplace, is to keep the base sim size down, and also not force people to download stuff for places they don't fly. 

If someone mostly flies in North America, why would they want to download several gigs of landmarks/airports in an area they don't fly?

What I don't understand is if people have trouble figuring out how to download an update, how on earth are they going to fly a "study Level" aircraft?  😉

Different kind of intelligence. I Learnt the Level D 767 inside out, but this installation process can stump me without specific instructions

Been  posted in the last couple of months numerous times. Four or five  steps shouldn't be that difficult for people to get. 

Totally agree, the instructions could be more at hand though

Update went very smooth for me, simply because I did not install the new update as I dont have those regions selected.  The only  item I saw was a simple 112k 'update' (I guess?) that took about literally 2 seconds.  No problem, made a flight from Vegas to LA.

I am using Flight Simulator from its beginings, and of course can download, update and perfectly fly "study Level" aircrafts, but I am sick of simple things made complicated without reason

no need for either: neither study level aircraft nor study level updates. anybody else voting for updates via ctrl-e ? 😊
