Sim Update Today?

Except the beginning of the week in the lists fall on a Thursday, which I think is a big part of the confusion people are having.

Haven’t seen any update when I started MSFS 19:00 local time here… and Netherlands is always quite early with updates. btw it sais 5/25 and the above list in white on black looks like a work plan, not update dates. Maybe today they prepare next week’s update ?

Today is the SDK / Dev update. There’s no sim update today.

When they list patches (Nav/Sim/World updates) on the roadmap, they put it under the heading of the previous Thursday in this case 20th of May. The actual update date is listed in parentheses (25th of May) on the same line as “Sim Update 4”.

All you are getting today is a post with some featured images, possibly(?) updated snapshots, and a list of marketplace updates.


Generally, there should never be a patch on Thursday. Patches of significance are deployed on Tuesdays which is in line with Windows, and other Microsoft (and third-party) work flows as it gives developers time before the weekend to fix any emergent issues that pop up after the update goes live.

What SDK update… it’s 0.12.0 now, we got that just before the last WU. And to be honest I did not see any SDK update OR update of MSFS ingame SDK menus since the repair update version 1.15.10.0 (the current one)

It’s the normal weekly Thursday Devblog where they tell everyone what they’ve been doing and what’s been done to the SDK. And of course, pimp the new stuff in the store. Like last week’s “update”…

There are no physical code updates today. At all.

This is what I meant earlier. The terminology they use in the road map is confusing, as they use the word "udpate’ interchangeably for multiple very different things.

36 posts to answer a simple question. Next. Tuesday. 25th.

I have used up all my re install options so now I cannot get FSX to load correctly. How do I fix this problem?

25th on which side of the Dateline? Co’s if it’s across then it would be Wednesday the 26th! So not so simple…

The updates usually come around 1600 UTC on the named UTC date, which puts at Tuesday around noon local time on the US east coast, 9:00 AM on the west coast, late afternoon/early evening in Europe and Wednesday (local date) on the other side of the dateline (Australia, Japan etc.) In Sydney, it would be 2:00 AM, Wednesday the 26th.

You drive on the wrong side of the road too, so why not!? :wink:

you do mean the correct side?

The first cars were made in Germany, and they drive on the right side of the road too!

Rolling out on Tuesday means you can start your download and do some tweaking if necessary before your weekend of flying. With all the flying events in the Community Events page you really can’t miss an opportunity somewhere.

And yet - if you visit the Mercedes Museum in Germany they have the first ever motor car made- and it still runs. Guess what - driving position is on the right of the car (looking forward)! :grin: Just like us! :grin:

I see @Crunchmeister71 hasn’t responded yet so I’m jumping in on his
business.

This Forum is not for FSX. It is FS2020.

Maybe he’ll respond.

:confused: I have absolutely no idea what to respond to that. It makes no sense to me whatsoever and I have no clue why his comment was directed at me.
