SSP76 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Same result. Mandatory update required and sends me to ms store. Check the three ... on right and click update. MS store tells me all updates were made and "I am good to go" relaunch FS and I get the same message as before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Energizer23 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Down load the XBOX App in Microsoft store. Check for updates. Start Flight Sim. If you get the update message, go back to store and check for updates again. This worked for me, I am up and running.

2014 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Exactly. Just to be clear folks, you have to go hunting for the brand new XBOX app, not the new or recently installed Xbox Game Bar.... then follow Energizer23's instructions as they wrote. Why they made it so hard and without anywhere near enough communication I do not know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhusker2 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Update, I am currently downloading what I believe to be the update. (2.67g) Found a thread on Zendesk with the following steps: Their suggested steps: 1. Go to the Microsoft Store and search for the ‘Xbox’ App. 2. Download the ‘Xbox’ App and click ‘Launch’. 3. Once the Xbox App is running, go back to the Microsoft Store to ‘Downloads and Updates’ and click ‘Get Updates’ The MSFS update should start to download. Note In step 3 I did not go back to the store. I tried I do not remember the complete steps in the app that I clicked. Was not really expecting it to work. But I know it was not hidden there. Easy to find the update. There is a Store button in the Xbox app. I used that. I will post when it is done to let you know if it worked or not. Hal Spelling corrections/ This worked for me as well. Really appreciate the tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2014 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 **spoiler alert** when you do actually get the sim update working, there is a new generation of bugs in the update. The Citation autopilot that they did finally get working is now broken, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagorandy Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I did have to do the Launch the new Xbox app thing, but then the World Update downloaded just fine, same for then going into Content Manager and downloading the 5 or 6 updates that were available. YES, I DO agree that it should NOT be this complicated or problem prone just to update an existing game, but I ain't no programmer ner nuthin' and this game does cover the whole darn World, so it's doubtless a far more complex process than I could even imagine.

Aptosflier Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 After I opened Steam and clicked "play" to start MSFS today, first there was a small update on Steam (to MSFS, I think), next MSFS opened with the "checking for updates" screen, then MSFS minimized to a smaller screen showing the basic-version MSFS cover and a direction to install a "mandatory" update, which I did. Once that was completed, MSFS reverted to full screen. Then I went to the Marketplace to download and install the latest World Update. And that was it. I thought updates of Microsoft Store editions would require fewer steps.

dmthorson Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I just wanted to thank the brain trust on this forum. I had the same frustrating problem you all did this morning. I waited and counted on you all to find the solution and you did. I missed a day of flying, but otherwise all seems to be well. (Fingers crossed: I've launched the sim but haven't actually begun a flight.) Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF should you have to DL an XBox app to access a DL for MSFS??!! Anyway, it seemed to have worked, and I am in the air again.

It does not matter how much of the world MSFS covers, dammit! What matters is whether the procedure to install a MANDATORY update is comprehensible to knowledgeable and experienced simmers, like most of us on these forums. This contretemps has been ineffingexcusable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidc2 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) I started the updated around 5:30pm yesterday. When I go up, I found out, it is still updating!! lol It almost seems that it had restarted it. Can't prove it (was asleep dreaming of flying, lol) Edit-it WAS reloading 57/63, watched it go from 97% back to 36% Sigh :( Edited September 8, 2021 by davidc2 Windows 10 Pro, 32 gigs DDR4 RAM, Nvidia GForce RTX 3070, Intel I7 10700 running at 3.8, with Noctua NH-L9x65, Premium Low-Profile CPU Cooler-HP Reverb G2 for Virtual Reality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nsproles Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 And it worked for me as well. Thank goodness for forums such as this. I would never have worked it out otherwise.

tiger1962 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) It is incredible that the system has been changed without plenty of pre-warning to customers. The system hasn't changed, you still need to have the current version of the Xbox App installed in Windows 10. The current version was released on MS Store on August 10th which was when I installed it. I check MS Store for new updates every day just in case - and there's a new Xbox and Xbox Game Bar App update today.

ed1 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Does anyone know if, in addition to the "new XBox" app, the prior XBox app (the "XBox Console" app), is required to remain on a Windows system for MSFS updating to work properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 No, the Xbox Console is obsolete now. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

sublimeorc3 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I have the same problem. I have tried the two solutions offered on the forum - restart and the "three dots" + icon click but no luck. I also tried the elaborate set of steps from Microsoft - update Windows 10, synchronize time settings, move the community package out of the way, check that english (United states) is installed in languages then go to the store and update the sim. Didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecorry Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 How about buying a new PC ... $3400.00 plus. all ready and, bang cannot even get the update at all. Hate to be negative but this is a real blow to me! I tried al the appreciated tips but when i click on ok it closes the sim to the store which has no clue that i even own the sim!
