Hello
I realized today that France-Benelux and Iberia are not installed on my sim. I did all the updates but I don’t see them in the content manager like the Germain update. Also I don’t see them in OneSore.
Someone would have any idea?
The world updates are found in the marketplace in game. You download them from there not the content manager or onestore.
Finally its Australia and Iberia were not installed because in All World Update they are not tagged as OWNED. I’m installing them now.
I missed these steps ? I hadn’t do this for the previous updates was automatically done when I did my updates…
Moved to #self-service:scenery
You always have to “claim” the free content via the Marketplace ever since World Update 1 before it is available for you to download. It’s not a new process, it’s always been like this.
Before Australia I hadn’t to do this I had just to update the other versions until the Bell symbol dont show notification.
Why you dont show notification that current update need to be complete via marketplace?
Because marketplace content (and world updates) are optional. I’ve skipped quite a few.
It is true that normally it was advertised using the bottom-right tile in the main menu, but that is now occupied by the Ukraine message
That’s simply not true. You always have had to install the WU via the marketplace. Including Japan and US.
Ok Im wrong or I forgot that I have to do this.
Why after downloaded an update I have to download it again and install it? What does the first update do? It does not install content?
As I can see a new update need 4 steps:
1- Update from Microsoft store
2- Update from Flight simulator
3- Update via Marketplace
4- Update previous version via Content Manager
Why you not allow to do these 4 steps in one step?
- updates the core app
- updates repository files
- is optional content
- is optional content
By separating 1 and 2 it is possible to only update certain packages (the in-between airac updates are a good example) so the core program doesn’t need updating. When doing a world update, both the core and some repository files get updated as well to incorporate the new content (often they also improve previous world updates)
Having these systems separated results in a more fine-grained control with the pay-off of having to do a few more mouse clicks.
Optional content!!!
For me when I download an update is to have the content and is this case is to enjoy the full Iberia release! Its mandatory not optional…
It’s technically a free DLC, It’s not an “Update” that everyone should use to improve it. But think of it as a Scenery Addon like every other third-party scenery and airports addons but this is coming from Asobo/Microsoft and it’s for free. It’s still technically optional because it’s not shoving down people’s throats especially if you want full control over what you want to be installed in your sim. If you want to enjoy the full Iberia release, yes you have to download it. But not everyone wants to.
I personally “don’t” download any of the world updates that have been released. I’ve claimed them in my Marketplace, yes… But I don’t download it. They’re taking valuable spaces in my storage and photogrammetry is never a good experience for me, so these world updates are not important for me. So I never really download them. The default terrain and auto-gen building is enough for me and it performs better for me anyway.
You can do Step 3 and 4 together. You can claim the World Update Pack and download it straight from the marketplace and that’s it.
Yes but I think its a minority who are not interested. New updates are always associated with the current theme as for now which is on the Iberian Peninsula so why not install it as default and those like you who aren’t interested just disable it and that’s it 
Because if optional stuff is included with mandatory stuff then people will get upset why they do have to download the optional stuff as well. They might not have enough storage space, etc. With this method people can see for themselves what to install and what not.
Yes I understand but they make rule for an exception when people want download without the topic.
IMO its not a logical method for managing the update a product.
