EDIT: Polls are now open.

All polls other than the first two related to downloads are deliberately closed for now. We will open the polls once players have had the opportunity to experience the World Update for a few hours.

Thanks,
MSFS Team

You should add a question on how long did the download take. Mine is running at 12MBits/s. I have a 1GB fibre connection which I’m connected to via 1GB Ethernet. I should be seeing hundreds of MBits/s. Sadly the 10GBytes of download is going to be a while and I’ll probably be in bed before it finishes.

Update looks fantastic in the trailer and the listed coverage, can’t wait.

I have a 100mb connection and mine was doing 40-70mb (it was slowly creeping up). When I reinstalled MSFS last week i got speeds up to 90mb.

Orbx London Pack is complementing The new PG. No double buildings. Works great together.

Mines downloading at 42mb/s Fastest download for a World update ever! In the U.K.

Same in Edinburgh, i.e. the Orbx UK packs. It all looks amazing, and clearly worked through so as not to clash with Orbx.

Must be because this is a UK update it has to travel a long way to me in Australia. :wink:

I am not sure if this is the topic for it, but it is a bit of a shame that the new runway at Dublin/EIDW still isn’t included. It was opened 2 years ago.

Loving the new London PG. Some defects around the river, but the building quality is so much better than before.

I don’t know what the equivalent of “rivet counters” for scenery would be, maybe “door knockers”, but there a few things that could have been tidied up, like PG transmission towers removed so you don’t see this.

But draw back a bit, and WOW.

For me Cardiff Airport shows up as a PG/TIN airport instead of a modeled one? Anyone else got the same problem?

I have the UK2000 one too, but uninstalled it and restarted the sim, to see if the included one is better.

I’ve just loaded into the EGFF scenery and it was working perfectly for me, so I’m not too sure what could be causing the clash for you.

Thanks, will check further what could be causing it!

I have two Tamar Bridges so Orbx GB South clashes.

I have a lowly 30MBit/sec broadband connection and I’m getting-

  • For the sim update part 20MBit/s
  • For the WU in content manager part 12MBit/sec (same as you)

This is par for the course for me these days with this sim.
At least it hasn’t (yet) done any slowing to 2Mbit/sec like it used to do with previous downloads.
Going smoothly for me so far, albeit probably another hour of downloading away.

There seems to be a conflict with orbx Dublin City Landmarks Pack as it wipes out the new PG in some areas of the city.

Absoloutely stunning. If this is where 2024 is heading, we are in for a righjt treat.

Getting a max draw of 325mgbts over London, and ive never seen that before. Seems to be slurping up the bandwidth, which is AMAZING. No melted anything, all looks so god darn real.

London is STUNNING. Scotland and Ireland are STUNNING.

Best release ive seen thus far You nailed it.

Milage may vary.
