There is also a ~5gb download in the marketplace for the UK world update once you’re done with the big update.

so about 1.2gb for launcher, 22ish for sim and 5 for UK

huge list of POIs, looking forward to having a good look around this eve. Looks like unfortunately we probably have to wait for sim update 2 at least before we get any performance improvements as there’s not much mentioned here.

also note the recommendations around manual cache and community folders.

anyone who bought the orbx London add on be sure to uninstall it for now.

Take flight into a region rich with tradition, culture and heritage – not to mention a fair share of myth and legend. From seats of royalty to centers of finance, bustling metropolitan hubs to sprawling farmsteads and cliffside villages, the splendor of the United Kingdom and Ireland is on full display with new dramatic upgrades and visual enhancements.

How to prepare for this update:
  1. If you are using the manual cache feature, please make sure to delete it via the in-game menu and create an updated version as we performed some backend technical updates.
  2. Some packages in your community folder may not have been updated and, as a result, may have an unexpected impact on the title’s performance and behavior. Please move your community package(s) to another folder before relaunching the title if you suffer from stability issues or long loading times.
  3. After you download the newest update for Microsoft Flight Simulator, head to the Marketplace to download the free World Update.

KNOWN ISSUES
A list of Known Issues will be updated here 307.

For users having the “Landmarks London City Pack by Orbx” bundle, the new enhanced scenery with the United Kingdom & Ireland update seems to create conflicts that prevent users from seeing the scenery quality expected.

Same here, Store App update ( just over 1GB ) and now downloading the main update, 23.4GB. I have premium deluxe.

Hoping it's done by 7:30 as it's my GA group's regular weekly online flight night! Not convinced it will be.

All updated. As for the speed, pretty shocking from MS servers. 4 hours on a 500 Meg line (tested throughout and no issues other than what's provided by MS server)
Really can't be bothered now though.

I'm getting pretty tierd now of everyone and everything blamed on Covid related issues and too many people using the Internet , blar blar.
