While I didn't have any problems with the updates, I understand your negativity. I personally enjoy FS over FSX, but that's me. I'm not looking to acquire a license, so for me it's a great leisurely past time. I did buy Vegas scenery as I too was disappointed in the airport which in real life, is near my workplace, but also the default scenery didn't even have Raiders Stadium.
I'm a huge fan of the free Airbus FlyByWire. It's damn near payware quality, so I'm happy.
As I've so often said, to each their own. I wouldn't go so far as to call it the "absolute worse release" tho.
Sorry for turning this into a FS thread, but I just wanted to respond to Flytv1.
