Is it possible to update through the Microsoft Store, or is it just by the update checker when starting MSFS?
First from the Store and then the big part from the sim.
Though the sim should prompt you to the Store nevertheless.
Yeah, when I started MSFS it said the app needed an update. Clicking OK opened the store and a 600ish Mb update was installed. When starting up MSFS again it stops at checking for updatesā¦ Maybe Iām not the only one tryingā¦?
Gosh is it slowā¦
For some reason Iām not seeing the updateā¦ the store just prompts me to āPlayā and if I launch the sim, it checks for updates and then loads as normal.
Edit>. Finally, itās started to update.
Sooooā¦
ā¦after the 40ish gb of the sim update there is another 23gb update in the content managerā¦
ā¦the saga continues.
In that case I donāt think I will be able to play with it today . Iām 9% into the 40Gb download right now.
Same for me. The content manager update goes much slower than the sim update
Got something to be looking forward to once the download is finished
I have to hit the road for several days starting tomorrowā¦so I might have to wait until then before I can try it. Iām up to 15% now.
Mine finally finished, Iām definitely seeing a fairly significant performance improvement on my PC.
As in, Iād actually be willing to fly around a major city in a more complex aircraft whereas Iād be hesitant before. It is much smoother than the frames I was getting previously.
And just this evening wifeydear decides 8 hours of work on a day wouldnāt be enough and that database error needs fixing now.
BTW, when starting the update, I got to browse to where I wanted my āPackagesāā¦
I take it thatās where I want the installation manager to put the update download?
Anyway, the installation manager suggested the user area on the C: drive, but I have MSFS on the D: drive, so I tried browsing over to the MS App folder on D: when I got a note saying I must select a folder where I have read and write authority.
I tried right clicking on the folder and unticked āread onlyā, but that didnāt helpā¦
Whatās up with that?
TBH, this video does not show much as it is just plain footage without any meaningful measurement or comparison (to be fair he mentioned heād do it once back from holidays).
But yes, the video shows that he is happy
Mine is similar. Install is on D, but the upgrade always shows C in the prompt. I always just clicked continue. It appears to have actually installed to D. My C drive definitely does not have enough space
Well, the fact that heās running MSFS in VR, with ultra settings over London is a meaningful measurment to me
Hereās a video with some FPS. Looks incredibly smooth. Letās hope that I can get my download started soon, so I can try it out myself!
