Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do if I was in the Beta?
You will automatically get the new build within 1 hour of when the update goes live. If you do not want to participate in future Betas, after you have updated to the latest build, manually leave the Beta. If you do not manually leave, you will be included in the next Beta build that is released.
Where can I find out about Known Issues
Click here to view the Known Issues list
There are also some AAU known issues at the bottom of the Release Notes here.
How do I see my current version number?
Press Alt+Enter to change the program from full screen to windowed mode. The version number is at the top title bar of the window. Additionally, the version number is displayed by holding down Alt+Tab (above the window icon) or available in-game by clicking on your gamer tag profile icon from the top right of the main screen. The version name is displayed in the dialogue box under your gamer tag
Do I need to do anything with add-ons in the community folder?
We highly recommended that you move the content from your community folder to a temporary location on your hard drive before applying the patch and replacing after testing the new version.
Why were certain bugs or issues not included in the patch notes?
If you are still experiencing an issue then create a topic in Bug Reports & Wishlist or file a ticket on Zendesk, using the “Submit a Request” option on the top menu bar. Include as much detail as possible, including the version of the game you are running. Remember the forums are not the official platform for bug tracking.
This patch is part of an ongoing patch release, so if your issue isn’t patched this time it does not mean it won’t ever get fixed! Check out the #self-service:bugs-issues category to see if others are reporting the same issues (where you can also vote if you have the same issue)
What should I do if the update doesn’t start automatically?
- Check Windows 10/11 for updates. If any, restart your PC
- Manually check MS Store for Updates
- Then update MSFS
If this still doesn’t work, the best course of action is to log out, restart your computer, and log back in.
What should I do if the update seems to stall or stop downloading?
The first thing to try is closing down MSFS and restarting it. The downloading should start again once MSFS is restarted. If there are problems with a particular file downloading repeatedly (on a loop) then exit MSFS and browse to the download location where the file is downloading to using windows explorer. Delete the offending file (if it is listed) or the latest downloaded file in that folder and then restart MSFS. The patch should continue as normal. (Note only delete files do not delete folders!)
