Not just liveries, it downloaded handcrafted airports again too.
I had to go through my payware list to check which ones for duplicates

I’ve modified the title to include that other content is being erroneously downloaded as indicated by the 2 posters above…

turns out its downloading most of the default aircraft and its liveries back even though you already have it disabled from content manager before.

on the bright side, probably dev wanting us to check all the default aircraft for any apparent bugs :heart:

Glad I saw this before updating. Thanks to those that took the plunge and reported it on the forum. Hopefully it gets fixed.

Same here, got the aviators and xbox liveries back :pensive:

13

Its (re-)downloading everything I had already removed…

If this effects others, especially people with slow connections and/or bandwidth caps and/or hard drive space issues , they are going to be very :angry:

Screenshot of TNCM not installed but being downloaded anyway…

If this is the reason, it’s ok with me - just need the clarification as I don’t recall this happening with previous SU betas!

15

In my case, it also downloaded all the airports that I removed when I purchased 3rd party versions. I needed to go back and delete those as well. Was a good waste of an hour. Hope they fix.

well that makes one of us. if its not on my drive, its because i dont want it there. and no, it didnt happen with other updates

maybe THIS is the surprise that Jorg Promised us in the last Q&A. Some Boneus content ?

I was watching the filenames as AU13 beta installed in utter disbelief, and waiting to see if the latest Microsoft Web Browser ( GOLD) was going to be bundled, and forced to Install, – MSFS GOLD Edition

I think I’m gonna sit this one out, maybe on a later iteration, the updater will be slimmed down to just the content I have, rather than throwing everything but the kitchen sink on my drives

This is whacky:

I had, originally, enrolled both my laptop and desktop in the beta.

I un-enrolled my desktop, but left my laptop enrolled.

On neither of these machines did I have Asobo’s KLAX, KSEZ, TNCM installed.

Yesterday, I did a flight on the desktop and, in the afternoon, did some further beta testing on the laptop.

This AM I launched the desktop and got the Mandatory installation of KLAX, KSEZ and TNCM.

Yes, the desktop isn’t enrolled in the beta, but why did it get this Mandatory update?

Is there still an aspect of SU13 beta’s installed content manifest being synched to the cloud even though there is a change to prevent deleting add-ons on one machine’s installation deleting them on another? Did the launch of the sim on my laptop (beta) affect the launch of the sim on my desktop (non-beta)?

What triggered the Mandatory update?

Something doesn’t seem quite right here.

EDIT:

It did it to me again.

Neither desktop (release) nor laptop (beta) have KLAX, KSEZ & TNCM installed.

I was testing on the beta yesterday. I just launched the release version on my desktop just now and was given the Mandatory update and had to install the three airports.

Again, I don’t understand this. Why, if they aren’t installed on either version of the sim and the beta no longer is meant to control the install of other machines, am I getting this forced installation?

Can confirm this is fixed for me on latest beta version.
