Slightly off topic, but why does this not show on the MSFS home page? I've been waiting all day for this but it says it was posted 21 hours ago. :eek::confused:

 

Back on topic, it's a good start. The game is working fine for me so I'm awaiting the bug fixes for aircraft and systems, but I understand just getting it installed is a problem for a fair amount of people so that should obviously be priority number 1.

Nothing in the notes about fixing autopilot or joystick issues.

I wonder what the 'timetable' is for the next patch and what it should include?

I would be nice if MS had a 'list' of what 'issues' it is working on.

Here's the list of "known" issues: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/known-issues-last-modified-8-27-2020/128064 . I'll let you draw your own conclusions as to what's going on over there. As for me, if this is truly the list what they think are the only "known" issues we're in for a tough time..........Doug

The update shows up in my content manager with a message “relaunch the game to download”. I have relaunched several time but it does not download. Am I missing something?

Ugh. It sounds like they are only acknowledging the stutters that can be blamed on Simconnect.

But lots of us are having serious stutters without Simconnect. People with MUCH higher-end systems than me are reporting stutters. There are a few threads on their forum about it.

 

Nothing kills the sense of immersion like stuttering does. It sucks.

Considering that their highest index so far on that list is 274822 I guess their internal bug list is a bit bigger than shown... ;)

No, because nothing new has been released yet.

You’re missing the part where the patch isn’t coming out until next week.
