MSFS 2020 Auto Update Required

Can we have MSFS Auto Update as its a pain when you go to play and you have to wait for a massive update to load before yo get to play

How exactly do you imagine this?

They need just a small launcher, which runs in the backround. Like with other games (World of Warships for example).

If you don´t want to run it in the backround all the time for automatic updates, at least you can start the launcher manually to update MFSF, without the need of starting the whole game.

I don’t understand how this is not a thing already… and why it doesn’t have 100 votes?
Is there somewhere else I should be upvoting this?

Integrate with Steam ‘auto update’ feature?

Even a workaround like a /do-update runtime parameter so we could schedule a daily would be ok.

As a part time sim pilots, it’s pretty awful watching my 40mins of allocated flight practice wash down the drain of downloading…

I was just thinking about writing a post to this effect and see that I already did that once before… I wonder if anyone has figured out how to do this yet - or perhaps even a way of getting notified of updates so we can run the update before take-off time?

They post the update schedule and everyone has to update MSFS… its a level field, what more do you guys want.
Follow announcements, be prepared, etc.

Was just about to write this in a post. Idea is here, so I am here to upvote it.

I get to get to the game, maybe once or twice a month. Every single time there is a mandatory update (well, a LOT of the time). I’d love an optional service that I can run that installs the base game updates in background (not marketplace).
