I now have WU8 splash screens of Lisbon etc. but when I go into Content Manager, I cannot find WU8 listed anywhere. When I go into the sim at Lisbon, it's not the WU8 Lisbon. Shouldn't WU8 appear in Content Manager? What am I doing wrong? Rhett 7800X3D ♣ 96 GB G.Skill Flare ♣ Gigabyte 4090 ♣ Crucial P5 Plus 2TB

March 25, 20224 yr Well ... I updated fine and looked in Marketplace as well. All other World Updates are there - but not Italy. Correction: it *is* there - just under the "World" menu. The Asobo GUI is a total mess. Edited March 25, 20224 yr by Adamski_NZ

The World Updates have always been optional (there are some people out there who, for various reasons, choose not to get them). One does not spend "ages" downloading the actual World Update (the region being covered by the update) until one has "bought" it (for free, in the Marketplace). Do keep in mind, however, that a World Update will also include updates to other regions and scenery. Some of those are mandatory (downloaded at the "Installation Manager" screen) and some of them are optional (Content Manager updates). ...jim ASUS Prime Z790-E, Intel i9 13900K, 32Gb DDR5 Ram, Nvidia 3090 24Gb, Samsung 970 EVO Plus 500 GB and 1 TB, Samsung Odyssey G9 Ultrawide 49" G-SYNC Monitor.

No idea what you found under the "world" menu, but you seem to be very confused. For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

Sorry -- my mistake. It was a typo in posting. I meant "Iberia". Also - I have to concede that (yes) ... updates like "Iberia" are *optional* - and are separate to the main World Update. However - I still maintain that the whole update process is ludicrously (and unnecessarily) complicated. I've used every other flight sim out there (XP11, DCS, IL-2 - as well as FSX and P3D) and none of them required such insanity.
March 25, 20224 yr Must agree that I too find the update process rather Redmondian 😉 ... and the new Marketplace interface as well.
