Haven't flown in 5 months but may try SU14 just for fun. 🤔

download via Steam was 1Hr.

I hate forced updates. I get why they do it but now I have to wait a few days for the dust to settle. Sucks that I can’t fire up my sim and enjoy an evening flight while the servers calm down. 

Took 5 minutes to update. Steam FTW. 

Made a 30 minute flight in Japan with the upgraded SR22, and there weren't any stutters really, not like there used to be.

Some of my graphics settings had changed, so put them back to what I'm preferring at the moment, and had to restart sim, also did a reboot.

You can tell the sky is a different colour - with a orbx  weather preset in the flight, the browny coloured clouds at the horizon line were much more faint & subtle in colour.😊

This slowed down downloading update thread is dedicated to all "it's not ASOBO fault" guys. Happy flying,

It’s not “ASOBO’S” fault. They do not operate, and have no control over, the servers which stream MSFS or deliver new content. The servers are Microsoft’s responsibility.

My download speed is now about 20mbs which is normal for me so no big whoops.

Let's hope it's working, otherwise it's an XP Challenger flight after work for me...

Here another Catch 22 guy: Asobo made Flight Simulator 2020, but if Flight Simulator doesn't work you can't blame Asobo.

Just spent a couple of hours in JP Logistics C152, flying along the west coast of Finland and it was absolutly awesome.

The sim looks amazing with the new atmospherics. No problems what so ever.

Got myself into some sketchy icing conditions as well, which made it even more exciting and enjoyable.

Well, I just did a short flight to see the sunset and it looked much better. Somehow everything looked sharper. Not sure why. Also, have they improved the road lighting? It looked better to me.

Perhaps it's all a result of the atmospheric changes but so far I'm very pleased. It all looked so much more natural. Flight sim never looked so good, I must say.

Yes understood.. all I'm saying is that the fact that it has returned to some *today* on SU14 release day, could be due to the server overload. If it still occurs consistently in 2-3 days then perhaps causes such as telemetry still being in the released SU, or some other issue outside of server overload are in play, and kicking up a fuss would be good. Currently there are some folks reporting they're not seeing it (including on this thread), so that's why probably best to wait a couple of days to eliminate server overload as a cause.
 

I don't see the spinning circle. They fixed it in the last beta build and I was already on it, so there was no update for me.

Have you rebooted your pc after installation? I was in the beta and had that after the last beta update, but a reboot sorted it out.

Yes and it helped. 

Did SU14 change any settings I need to go back and set?

Ugh looks like moving from Beta to the release deleted my entire game and all the addons...great.
