Sim update 8

Does anyone know what time sim update 8 is out today. I live in UK and I do know usually it’s on Pacific time at 8am, now I know we’re 8 hours ahead so would it still be 4pm UK time for release. Or is it earlier today.

I believe it’s going to be 11am EST

OK thank you same time then as usual

So 16:00 GMT correct?

Reason I ask and I did presume the right time. But for some reason I have a 43.8gb download installing right now on fs2020 and I’m puzzled to what it would be.

So. Given the slight uncertainty here, it might be an idea for those that worry, to empty the old community folder before hitting the sim.

Good luck everyone :slight_smile:

Yep that’s probably a good idea.

I’m on the xbox so that’s not an option. I’m on the flawed system :laughing:

I don’t know if there is a published release time, but based on previous ones, it has been 21:00 zulu time.

1600z as usual I suspect

Waits with VR headset in nervous anticipation :grimacing:

Is this releasing today? Or the 1st?

As mentioned above, it was moved forward to today.
Updates are generally released at 21:00 zulu time.

I was in the beta test. Don’t expect massive improvements :wink:

Can we expect live traffic taking off? That would be major improvement for me. :partying_face::joy:

Yes. in public beta, the departed Live traffic is taking off.

Also the weather radar is working fine.
