Frequently Asked Questions

What do I do if I was in the Beta?

If there is an updated build, you will receive it automatically when the retail version goes live. If the retail version is the same build as the latest beta build, you will receive no updates. 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

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?

  1. Check Windows 10/11 for updates. If any, restart your PC
  2. Manually check MS Store for Updates
  3. 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!)

EDIT: The polls are now open for your votes.


All polls other than those related to download/installation are deliberately closed for the time being. We will open these polls for voting in a few hours after players have had a chance to try the new Sim Update.

Thanks,

I am currently updating to MSFS version 1.34.16.0.
It is a 3.12GB package.
It download started fast, but towards the end it has slowed to 0.13 Mbits/s!

Anybody else with this problem?

Solved by rebooting PC.

Hello,

worst update procedure since 3 years, constantly repetitive and aborted downloads. I haven’t had that before

Maybe have a poll for download problems.
Trying to DL WUs right now. Most if em caught in a loop: DL a little bit, then restarts DL, then progressing slightly further before restarting again…
So far problems with Spain, Italy, USA, Oceania and E.Europe.

Italy, USA X and E.Europe still shows update available after finishing, even though they seemingly were DLed.

Trying to reupdate WU Italy: caught in endless decompression…

Restarting sim: 0 DL speed on remaining WUs
(Oslo, Norway)

PC, steam ver.

Download went smooth, slightly slower speeds!

First flight test also smooth for now. I felt performance improvement in-terms of microstutters reduction.

Will try it out in details later!

Cheers,
Nish

I was seeing similar slow downloads, so I canceled, restarted my Xbox and now I’m getting more normal speeds.

No issues with downloading speed. 50 Mbps + Download speed !

I downloaded the update from the Microsoft Store first and then in MSFS everything runs briskly 50-200 Mbits/s

Now I´m having fun with the content manager. AOL was this fast in 1994! :joy:

Initially all went well with the initial sim update, with very good download speeds, for me, of around 25mbps. However once I moved onto the World Updates things started to go downhill, the download speed is reducing, currently at around 10 mbps and I have received two warning screens saying that my licence cannot be validated, I’ve never experienced that before. It seems as if the active downloads cancelled and restarted at that stage, but the world areas seem to have loaded after the second attempt. I’m now getting a message to say that the DC3 update package has failed. Not good news. Downloading Rotterdam at only 4mbps.its going to be a long night…

Our team is currently investigating potential issues around slow download speed. Thank you for the feedback thus far!

If you are experiencing slow downloads, let us know which part of the download is going slow for you as well as your region. Thanks!

For some reason my world updates are getting package failed, never seen this before on an update.

Slow downloads in the UK, tried VPN’s in France, Germany and makes no difference

I did shutdown MSFS, restarted it and now “repetitive and aborted downloads” seems to be gone. Download speed is approximately at 40 Mbits/s
