Thanks,

All polls except for Download/Install are deliberately closed for now. We will open these polls for voting once simmers have had more time to fully experience SU7.

Edit at 09:00 UTC, Wednesday October 14th - All polls are now open for voting!

I’m getting an error that the executable is missing right off the bat. I’m trying to verify files, but it’s stuck on “Validating” for some time now.

I updated the game few minutes ago on Steam. It doesn’t start anymore with message “Missing game executable”.

Today’s steam update broke the game. Looks like the wrong build might have got pushed.

Same here.

Yes- this has happened before. A bit of patience required on our end, it’ll get fixed soon.

Weird title for the app on the top?

No update available for me (PC Store). The game launches normally on SU6.

Hello @magnetite2,

There was a temporary issue with the Steam release (as mentioned by other posters above) that is now resolved. If you close the sim, you should be prompted to install a small update from Steam that resolves this.

Thanks,
MSFS Team

There we go. I admit I’m pleased with the speed of that fix. Thank you!

Hello @TITIDR401,

As always, Sim Updates do not deploy simultaneously for all users on all platforms in all regions. You will automatically receive the update, but it might not be at the same time as some other players. No action is required on your part to force the install.

Thanks,
MSFS Team

Wow!! 38 upgrades…

Edit: Ahhh all the Racing aircraft. Very nice.

Feedback:

Extremely disappointed it’s a lot of stuff that means little to me and I won’t even notice.

Whereas atmospheric and cloud depiction that applies to all simmers is left untouched and in a really poor state. The clouds just don’t look like clouds most of the time, and even more sad is how far they’ve regressed since the release of 2020.

Airplanes fly in the sky. It’s a flight simulator, please please focus on this in the next sim update. The sky, weather, and clouds are so so far behind the rest of the sim.

I just purchased the sim a few days ago and I’m impresses with how fast that patch was implemented. Thanks!

Well, one thing is clear - the guys and gals at Gaya have been busy.

I’ve rebooted twice. No update.

I’m still waiting on the update option. But from looking at the changelog the A310 sounds have not been corrected.
