Sim Update 8

[Patinthedesert]

I did the update, at least the first 2 parts of it. It did the Steam update automatically. And then started MSFS and it found and started the update there. It was 2+ GB. After that completed and it was running, I went to the Content Manager and did not see any new pieces to download. Is that what I should be seeing. I did go in and do a flight, but did not see much of anything that was new.

One thing I did notice. In the World view for planning a flight, a new tag was added to one or two airports. When clicked these showed where payware addons could be used.

I’m on the Steam version also and there was definitely some things to download from the Content Manager.

There are 4 world updates at least depending on your purchased version.

Exactly. I'm also on Steam and there were updates to download from the Content Manager for the core mandatory contents (depending of your MSFS edition), world updates, etc.

 

EDIT: Today (48 hours after SU8) on launching MSFS I've had to download yet another update, this one pretty small. Maybe a las minute hotfix?
