I keep asking for this prior to each release… :sweat:

fs-base-cgl-0.1.75.fspatch hangs, over and over downloading…
same here

Each update have different content which result in having different update size.

i stopped it and restarted the sim now he updates 64.84 GB instead of 8.95GB

I just want to say this update has given me a MASSIVE increase in smoothness of frames. Buttery smooth now on my GTX 1080. Great download this time too. All around a wonderful update. I want to see more of this. Congrats to the team!!

lovely cant wait !!!

I must have messed something up on my side. I was in the beta, before the update came out today I went to Insider Hub and opted out of the update(maybe this is where I went wrong). Later, when the update went live I went to the Xbox app like normal and it showed the game there and an update available, all normal. Did that first update, then launched the game and it says I had to download 110GB, which is a full install.

I always install in the default place on the C drive since that’s where my NVME SSD is, so it can’t be looking at the wrong place. The shortcut I made for the community folder also doesn’t work, and the free space on the C is way more than it should be. So it seems that opting out of the Beta before the actual release just got rid of my whole install. Didn’t think that would happen, I figured opting out would just put me back to the normal channel and then any update I needed to would arrive as normal.

I used to control the condition lever with the mixture axis. This does not work anymore after WU6 and in the settings I can not find any binding. Any ideas???

First impressions - my MSI burner stats for GPU CPU stats are differing. Not the same numbers and I have not changed anything in NVidea control panel so looks like theyve done some work under the bonnet this time…

In fast test flight, seems that this update solved the stuttering issues. Now it’s butter smooth. I’ll test more deeply but seems like a very good update! Thanks you!!

Did everything wrong (got excited) didnt delete or rename anything anywhere, worked fine, flew from Republic to Teterboro with a tour of NYC in between, with all the new settings maxed out I lost like 3fps, will tweak but looks great, ran great, CPU use as high as 58%

The much improved night airport lighting, ground lighting and other aircraft lights make night flying vastly more enjoyable again.
Among the other fixes and improvements listed in the huge changelog. Great work and much appreciated to the entire project team.
