40 gigs is a huge download task even across modern high speed networks. I never understood why these types of updates cannot downloaded in smaller chunks.

I do hope water wake is a real element of update.

Water wake and other effects like dirt and snow are indeed part of the update. One of the forum moderators said that they are only releasing "Release Notes" and not a fully detailed changelog because it would have taken them too much time to compile all the changes... which I think is an extremely poor excuse, the entire point of a changelog is that it is updated as changes are made, not a document drawn up once everything is finished.

But what can you do..

Also, who thought it was a good idea to release the Xbox version worldwide (which requires a substantial day 1 patch) AND Sim Update V all at the exact same time. The servers are getting slaughtered right now, even the official forums can't keep up.

This is DDoS attack . Still downloading / installing.

21% after about an hour. 40GB should be about 5-10 Minutes pure download time on my end. I don't think people were ever not interested in a performance upgrade in the FS business.

Still not in this part of the world...wonder if covid related.We are under a heavy attack

Off topic. Pet PEAVE, but I hate dialog boxes that tell me something and make me click OK. NO, it is NOT OK that the program crashed. It is like telling me, You have just died, OK? Have a second option that does the same thing but entitle it NOT Ok. The program will still have crashed but at least I don't have to agree, like it is a good thing.

Downloading!

Just finished downloading the Sim Update, and there was a further 21+ GB's of updates to be found in the content manager, covering the aircraft from the Deluxe and Premium packages, and various updates to scenery and landing challenges from all of the World Updates.

For me in total it was: 620Mb+41Gb+7Gb+9Gb, so 4 parts

[Bomber_12th]

I had a chance to look at the new World Map window, and it is really cool to see it all in satellite imagery now, and with towns labeled. I also immediately spotted all of the seaplane bases/airports now added (it warns you too, if you select a seaplane base and you have a land-based/non-float plane selected).

[David Robles FSX]

Is anyone else having issue's with this update? Yesterday everything was fine, today after the update nothing works...

[Tom Clayton]

My biggest pet peeve about MSFS is all the extras that have nothing to do with my installation (787 liveries when I don't even have the premium package) that slow everything down.

[CG_1976]

Weird I still have not got the update here in Texas. I can start the sim and no update lol.

Open the Microsoft Store and click the top-right menu, then select Downloads and Updates. Click the Get Updates button even if you don't see MSFS in the list - it should pop in after a few seconds. Once the core is updated to the new version, the rest will be waiting when you restart the sim.
