World update for England and Ireland

Looks like it’s here!

WU17 is now available

Personal Comments and Observations

When you boot the sim today - you’ll see a notification for Content Manager showing updates available for any content that was refreshed from UK World Update 1. That’s just stuff updated for UK WU1 if you installed it.

In addition - don’t forget to “Get” the UK World Update 2 in Marketplace, then you should see more content updates like the new 5 handcrafted airports. You’ll need to go back into Content Manager and install that update as well.

So that’s two sets of updates you should be installing today.

For the record, after I shaved off the non-interesting (to me) bits like Landing Challenges and Discovery flights, UK WU2 is just a shade over 10GB.

For the refreshed content in UK WU1, the footprint is just under 2.5GB for what I have installed.

These sizes may vary for you depending on what you have previously installed and what options you choose in downloading the new content.

World Update XVII: United Kingdom and Ireland is now available! The full list of POIs are available to see in the forum announcement thread, and we have further details on our website too: Microsoft Flight Simulator Releases World Update XVII: United Kingdom & Ireland - Microsoft Flight Simulator

Is the new local legend Helicopter also being released today?

Updating now, but when I go to Content Manager it is just World Update 3, UK and NI, not World Update 17 - strange…
