• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

New FS2020 Patch 1.8.3.0 available

I wish they would have at least removed the "Press any key to start" for us since we're not getting an sdk update.
 
Feedback suggests that the update may take more than one go before it finishes. I had three tries, 1 hang, 1CTD and then it went
 
Hi,
I just updated MSFS with the new patch to move to 1.3.8.0. and it works OK. The process took about 1 hour and the procedure is somehow weird and deep imbedded in the MS Games/XBOX environment. The entire install procedure is far away from what we know from a regular install on windows. From now on we are no longer virtual pilots using a simulator, we ar now all gamers. Looking at the phrases when using the sim you will be asked like .. You will reale End the Game, or Wellcome to the Game, etc.. My feeling is the sim community is not amused belonging now to the gamer party. Anyway, I guess this is a thing driven by the Microsoft marketing organization and we have to learn now on how work with this new environment. However, if the product works the way we want to see I can live with it even now as a gamer (Smile) .

Lots of various opinions on the patch but for me it's super nice. Loading times are pretty much cut in half or even a bit better! I even got a little FPS boost. Noticed some changes in the dev mode as well. Next to the "Build Package" button there is now a "Clean Package" button. Also when loading the scenery into the editor it's pretty much instant for me. Before I would need to wait around a minute for the objects to load in. Now it's fast and smooth. I like that :)
