AAU1 Releases Today at 1600Z

[Konterhalbe 295]

Ok, I've opted out of the MSFS beta program accoring to the description in the forum:

1. Open the ‘Xbox Insider Hub’ app.
2. Navigate to ‘Previews’ > ‘Microsoft Flight Simulator Beta’ .
3. Select ‘Manage’.
4. On the left side, select ‘Leave preview’.
5. Wait for the unenrollment to complete, restart your Xbox or PC, then launch the game. 

Restarted the PC, opened MSFS, prompting an update of 2,4GB is necessary, downloaded the update.

I was wondering why it called for an update, when I already had 1.30.12.0.???

When 2,4 of 2,4 GB were downloaded, the same window showed an error and now my whole MSFS installation is missing. Deleted. Without a warning.

Plus the community folder with 1, 2, 300+GB of addons in it. 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

People were nah yeah get the beta, nothing will go wrong. Guess I'm too stupid for this 😂

 

I think I've already mentioned that I hate beta programs and updates.

Seems rather odd reading through the description makes it sound like the store version has that issue, but the Steam version doesn't. Unfortunately XBOX users don't get the choice.

From my point of view this beta was too tempting. Not sure if I'll do another one though....

Ok, I've been able to restore my PC in the status of last week.

 

MSFS is on the PC again but the community folder is still missing 😲😭😭

Any tip how I can get it back instead of spending 50h of downloading and installing everything again from scratch?

 

I've got no "...\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\..." folder anymore 😞

2.54GB for me-and stayed out of the AAU1 beta the whole time. 

Impressed with the Longitude, TBM and CJ4 improvements!

The nightmare continues: MSFS wants me to download 108GB.

Are wing-views included in the updated models?

Thanks!

Point it back to your community folder and it should bypass that

Are there working doors?

And before someone mentiones that I should have moved my c folder before updating:
 

I was on 1.30.12.0 for two weeks or so and today, 1.30.12.0 was released for all users not participating in the beta.

So I thought 1.30.12.0=1.30.12.0 and there won't be an update at all.

I was kinda surprised when MSFS started to DL 2,4GB and made an update I didn't took into consideration. I decided to not move my c folder while the update was running.

 

Lessions learned:
1.) for every little update, always move the community folder to a safe space.

2.) save c folder on a regular basis to an external SSD.

3.) never ever jump on a beta ever again.

4.) practice patience. I've waited four whole years to spend a single cent on new addons from the point when we knew MSFS was coming in 2020 and now I couldn't have waited a month for the snow coverage fix to be released on stable? 😂
