JSkorna Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 There was no Update on the 26th. MSFS always checks for updates on startup and maybe that is what you are seeing. The latest version number is 1.36.2.0 And typically updates have been released on Thursdays. http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the windowed mode issue is a known problem. This was part of the most recent update announcement: Over the last several days, we’ve noticed many reports about an issue affecting PC players where the sim will always open in windowed mode even if full screen mode was set. Players using both the regular release build and the SU_15 beta build are affected by this issue. The team has identified the source of this bug, and a fix will be coming with SU_15. In the meantime, the workaround to restore full screen mode is to set this option in your General Settings each time you launch the sim or simply press Alt+Enter on your keyboard. https://www.flightsimulator.com/march-21st-2024-development-update/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They usually have a news update each Thursday late in the day, so check the official web site later today for news... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder Nels_Anderson Posted March 28 Founder Share Posted March 28 As usual, they did release an update today which includes: "In case you missed it, we recently announced that the full release of Sim Update 15 (SU_15) will be slightly delayed from its earlier targeted release date of March 26. It’s important that we take the time to get it right, and after careful consideration, the team concluded that SU_15 isn’t quite ready yet. We’re now targeting a release for some time in April (exact date TBD)." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmace57 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 I want to add a "me too" to the original poster. On March 26, I also got a message when loading the sim that there was an update. Which never completed. It went to 100% (a 1.6GB download) and stopped. It would never complete - no decompressing of the files. During the "load" on the 26th and after it didn't complete, it went into the sim and I got severe performance spikes about every 1 second - after about 10 or 15 minutes of that, I closed the sim and re-started. Since then, I get a very brief popup of that same update status of 100% downloaded but not complete and it takes me to the sim successfully. And I also experience the loading into windowed mode even though I have set it to full screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrylawdinn Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Should all be sorted when SU15 is finally released - believe I saw an announcement about 30 April. A problem recently about uncompleted uploads was solved by someone who switched off all the on-line connections in Options/General/Data, restarted the sim then switched them back on again one by one.

jmace57 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 FOLOW UP: The update that came out today (16 April) has started up the stuck download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrylawdinn Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 A possible solution to stuck downloads, probably a corrupted file - sometimes happens if your internet connection hiccups. You should see the files loading on the left of the loading bar and will likely see one file being "loaded" over and over again. Stop the download, probably by forcing a shutdown, then you need to go into the sim file system and find that file - it will probably be in the MSFS/Microsoft Flight Simulator/Content folder but a search should locate it - and delete it. Restart the sim which will again check for updates and restart the loading but this time hopefully the errant file will download okay and you're good to go.
