Discussion + Poll: Sim Update IV (1.16.2.0)

no, everything is on.
the file is half size compare to previous one.
i open the BGL with model converter X and I see many buildings are missing.
no option in the game will bring them back.
pure unacceptable downgrade

same, it makes me angry. on this update they claimed to fix the low fps issue, especially with glass cockpits- again nothing- after this update lower snd inconsistent framerate empty words. thx @AsoboPM :see_no_evil_monkey::see_no_evil_monkey::enraged_face:

Got home, installed through the store and updated the rest in the menu as normal ,in the content manager.no problems!
Took off from kpmp in the skyhawk with an addon repaint, now cruising at 2400 ft live weather, more traffic too. The cessna handles very well! No ap, just trimmed and in level flight, heading west, lovely, hands free and enjoying 60 fps!! Wow!
Asobo, you did good! I’m very satisfied. Thanks juminava for the update notice. I don’t fly glass jets, only the tbm and ga. No problems at alland stutter free, smooooth…
Now, back to pmp now, been 30 mins in the air !!

Misery loves company!

It’s a process requiring great patience for some of us. It’s not new though. I’ve run into this on the past couple of updates.

Here are some solutions provided by the MSFS Zen Desk: Download stuck on packages / Install loop & Decompressing issues – Microsoft Flight Simulator Support (zendesk.com)

None of that worked for me this time, though.

On a whim I went into the Task Manager>Details and increased the priority for MSFS to ā€œhighā€. That seemed to work for me, but not certain. It might have just been a coincidence…
By the way, if none of the above works, just restarting the simulator will break the log-jam for a while. I had to do that several times for this update!

Yeah, so your Gaming Services got uninstalled somehow. That’s exactly what happened to me. You need to install it again. The way I resolved this was using the ā€œRepairā€ option. Add or Remove Programs → Gaming Sercices → Advanced Options → Repair. That’s what fixed it for me. If that doesn’t work you can try the following.

NOTE: This did NOT work for me, but some have reported success running it a few times.

Open Powershell as an Administrator then…

get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage -allusers

In the same Window …

And ā€œcontinue as plannedā€ is still there… as is ā€œturning and following headingā€¦ā€ so much for ā€œmatches FAAā€.

I just did the poll and you asked for feedback. Feel free to add these bugs to the known issues. Overall, sim update 4 was appreciated and it did fix quite a few bugs I noticed. However, the overall quality of the update leaves a lot to be desired. Hopefully you take this with the best intentions I had researching and filing those bugs. I love the sim and want to see it improved. Hopefully this will lead to improvements in the development and QA process going forward.

Nah nah, a few changes though, you get more altimeter readings and the pronunciation is better.

I deleted my community folder.. but maybe I am mistaken? I didn’t install these airports and yet they showed up on the world map whilst before they weren’t there… I’ll check again later

I don’t fly jets anymore, I just fly good ol by the book and paper vfr chart and my trusty arrow or 172. The jets eat my frames and its less fun since you’re high up. This sim is really a vfr sim. I’ve been enjoying it a lot for this reason. When I wnt jets I go to .xplane.

+1. I think the majority of people get their FPS eaten for lunch trying to fly jets. I stick to VFR myself and enjoy it a lot more.

You must be right, having checked the official stuff folder, LFPG seems one of the few edited handcrafted airports with this update… and this edition is on the downgrade side.

LFPG has always been of mediocre, if not awful, quality since day one, IMHO.

Steam version, totally smooth update in about 10 minutes…happy days :grinning:

Your words make me think even more about returning to the world of X-Plane.

Is there a free content with this new update??.. I cant see anything new in the market place

I’ve found an endless loop installing between 5.16 and 5.43 GiB :yawning_face: :rage:

Which I solved by quitting the install, rebooting my PC, and starting over again. :+1:

Just think about it! Happy reviews because of the successfully installed patch !!!

It’s still out to lunch even after the update.

personally I found it not so bad before (except a big disgraceful bug, that they have corrected), but now it is really awful, reduced to zero!
