MS and Asobo are really knocking it out the park with these updates.

Well Fack....  mine's just hanging on the World Update: New Zealand screen

Good stuff. Surprised they didn’t fix the melted and deformed buildings in Toronto.

Sorry to hear. Installation went just fine here on my end but won‘t have time for a first flight in the next 6-8 hrs or so, just a pity, will try the 310 first then

EDIT as to „just hanging“ how long did it just hang? Mine took also longer than usual for a first start and I did also stare at the progress/loading bar whether it moved. Which it did but veeery slowly. In other words did you wait long enough?

Users of MSFS are fortunate to be part of this extraordinary project. I always sense excitement on this forum. I know of no other software -- whether it's business software, OS software, gaming software, or educational software -- that can boast such a dedicated and prolific development team -- a team that so regularly communicates with us and so frequently produces such significant program enhancements.  

[ryanbatc 13,114]

It magically got past the loading screen a second time...  and I put all my Carenado's back in the Official folder and everything is working yay!

The trick is to line up your cursor with the progress bar and then stay perfectly still 😁

Except there is a vocal few that take exception to progress in any way shape or form. So be it.

I left the beta before SU12, but I think I saw in the last update notes that Live Weather has had some improvements?

Now that people have had some time with it, are these changes really noticeable?

[CaptBillyBob 51]

The a310 is not being updated.

[MikeH99 161]

Wow amazing update can't wait for the A310!

[Purr 125]

I had uninstalled some of the region updates a few times back. New the new beta installed...apparently successfully, but when I am downloading the regions the download starts and then at seemingly random times MSFS just crashes/closes. I've been trying this multiple times and each time it gets SLIGHTLY further on a download and then crash to desktop.

Anyone else experiencing this type of thing? 

[MDFlier 2,031]

I had 2 flights in this version CTD so far. None completed. Sound starts to cut in & out, and then poof!

[Fielder 3,820]
