It is the Japan scenery update. Not sure how long it takes. I haven't opened MSFS yet. Just got back home.
I will do so now and tell you how long it took.
Okay, it was 661.x MBs and it took me about a minute at 60-68 MB/Sec. Damn thing tricked me into downloading MS Gaming Service, however.
Disregard: After starting the game I had an 8+ GB download awaiting me.

On Steam, my initial update was ~300mb. To access the Japan World Update download, you must add it to your account via the in-game marketplace (it's free).
Edit: Upon restarting the sim, after already downloading the Japan content from the marketplace, I was met with an ~8GB update.
It said that I have to go to Microsoft Store to up the program before I download the update; then all I get is "error" & nothing I do fixes it.
Time for Microsoft to stop bulls*&^^%(g us & fix this POS.
Ok, downloaded 661 of "donīt know what" that was a quick one at 90-130 mps, now downoloading patch 1.9.3.0 8.75 Gb and then going to get Japan...glad I have optical fiber....
OK, I installed it yesterday, didn't have time to try it, started today: mandatory 600Mb update, started again, 8 Gb update, pfffff... and there isn't even a single warbird in the game, what am I doing here?
and how do I get rid of that extremely annoying 'soothing' music??
You can find most of my repaints for FSX/P3D in the library here on the outhouse.
For MFS paints go to flightsim.to
There is an option to choose no music, though it actually does play for a few seconds until your preferences are loaded - at least it did on my original 1.7.x.x version until I gave up and just let it play. There's an option in the sound settings to mute the entire sim when it's not the focused window, which means I'm not having to listen to anything while I'm here typing while the download continues.

My original download was an hour on fiber, 18 min for update. Update about 30% of original time.
I now have the update downloaded (5+ hours), but I now have only 2 aircraft. Anyone got any idea of how I get the other 29 back?
Really this is beginning to be a royal pain in my patoot.
P.S. How does one download a clean sheet of this software?
My update took about 30 minutes total. I see the sensitivity setting windows are fixed, I also noticed that the Airbus 3rd party updates were zapped by the update (black instrument displays in the VC). I simply moved those 3rd party folders into an isolation folder I created in the Community folder, problem solved. So far, I like what I am seeing.

My 8.78 GB update came out to actually be almost 24.5 GB.
Lenovo Legion T730 / Intel Core i9-9900K 3.6-5.0 GHz / 130W Liquid Cooling / GeForce RTX 2800 / 32GB DDR4 / MSI 550W PSU / 4K 43" TCL LED TV
Yep, almost 25 gig total. About 2 hours download time to the PC. CDT on launch, but OK now. Japan scenery ok I guess. Need to see if they modeled the Fukashima reactor complex.

Be yourself. Everyone else is already taken.
Yes the update turn out to be ~quick , so now we have to fly in Japan for a while , now when some type of autogen buildings in Europe get big as Las Vegas Hotels !
So I finally have the latest updates & the MSFS software installed (4 hrs.) after getting halfway & having my internet line interrupted (start all over). And I'm still missing 29 aircraft from my orig. download. Come on Microsoft get your act together. It really is a POS.
Log in and check the marketplace to re-download. This happens with this update when people have their sim installed to a non-default location.

Everything pre release talked about this being a bandwidth dependent game. Better the bandwidth the better the game experience. This includes updates.
It drives me nuts hearing people complain about download times. Did you not read about this pre release?
If you have a slow internet connection, upgrade it. If you can't for whatever reason put up and shut up. It's not Microsofts fault.

Wow... Get up on the wrong side of the bed today??
This issue has nothing to do with bandwidth. The release notes for the patch state that if your install is in a different location than default, you'll need to go to your content manager to re-download the content you own.

I didn't have to do that. I have the super deluxe or whatever its called version bought from the MS Store and have it installed to a different drive to the default and everything was still there after the update, the only thing I had to go to the marketplace for was for the free Japan update.

Did you do your original install in that spot or move it via Windows after?

So what's the deal with that note about crashing if you don't open the VFR window after opening a flight?
I have gotten three CTD's since I loaded the update, and I now get this long pause after I switch a mode or something, like change the time on the fly. Didn't get that pre-latest update.
Do I need to open the VFR map window when I start up now to avoid a CTD?
