chicagorandy Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Haven't been on the sim for several days. When I started up this morning got a mandatory update message for just under 1G of new whatevers called dependencies. Download and installation was quick and painless, unlike yesterday's root canal (not kidding) and I just now finished a delightful sunrise flight in the Cub from Clow to Midway here in Illinois. Observations - no airplane handling issues, all was seemingly working fine, the game is now loading MUCH faster and my sole 'concern' is that I honestly don't know what the heck a 'dependency' is though I just downloaded and installed some of them- lol? So.. can anyone explain dependencies to me in terms a poodle could understand?

tiger1962 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 MSFS Dependencies are updated "sim engine" files, the MSFS system files if you like. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

MikeDV Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Hi chicagorandy, like tiger1962 said, a sim “depends†(relies) on these files to run. An example is a Train sim that I have. When installing a particular train route, or “layout†if you will, there might be a certain file, say a boxcar or caboose file, that the sim needs for that to be properly represented. So, the file is called a dependency. Just guessing, but in the case of MSFS a “dependency†could be a certain engine cowling, prop blade, tree, water texture, anything really...
