Mandatory Update this morning

**trashmon** · 03-03-2021, 05:29 PM

Didn't see any posts regarding this, but this morning I got a Mandatory Update, which installed smoothly. It was about 1.03 GB if I remember correctly, assuming this was the Hot Flap fix.

Quick answer - you're correct.

Glad you had no problems installing it, ben a nightmare for me!

And, as far as I know, I never got the option to update.

Avsim.com reports "Hotfix 1.13.17.0 is now live! 1,03GB download on the Microsoft Store. " I googled 'MSFS 2020 hot fix flaps', several hits, a few with descriptions on how to get there. I had update issues with the UK/Ireland update. Seems like it took several days before I was offered the update, while other areas of the world were downloading.

No need to Google! Microsoft Store is a Windows 10 App and there should be an icon for it on your taskbar, it's a white shopping bag with the Windows logo. Click on it, then click on the three dots in the top right corner and select "Downloads and updates" at the top of the list.
I do this every day because there are updates for Windows apps all the time, some of which are used by MSFS.

What should my version # be for MSFS 2020?

**tiger1962** · 03-05-2021, 11:34 AM

1.13.17.0

I’ve also got this one & but didn’t see it update.

I haven’t flown since last weekend (due to work) and my long awaited Bravo throttle unit has arrived. It’s fantastic!

I do appear to have a little problem now though.. I can’t see any other players.
Data & online traffic etc turned on as usual, as are the gamer tags... but I don’t see anyone.
