Updates?

I've assumed that MSFS has downloaded and installed all the updates--USA, UK, Benelux, etc.--as they've come out. However, as I was exploring the in-sim marketplace ("full catalog") today, I saw that all the "World" updates are marked "free" without any indication that they're installed on my PC. Again, I'm pretty sure they were installed automatically, but how do I double-check this?

They definitely are not installed automatically. For each one I’ve had to go to the Marketplace and “BUY” the free tokens to install them.

 

Give that a try and parts of your world may look much better. :)

Thanks. Will do. Although the prospect makes me nervous. After all my earlier trouble with MSFS '20, it has been running without so much as a burp, let alone a hiccup, for weeks now. Today, for example, I flew one leg of a bush trip in a Cub that took me over an hour--from somewhere in Nevada (I forget) to Inyokern in California's high desert on the east slope of the Sierra Nevada range--without any problems. (It should've only taken me 40 minutes, but I kept getting off track.) I hope the updates won't break what's unbroken at this point.

Haha, that's a risk you're going to have to take, my friend.

 

But it would make sense to me that most bugs are introduced with the files that alter the core of the sim (i.e., the files which are downloaded and installed upon loading the sim). I would think that the marketplace files are pure scenery and mostly harmless. Just my opinion though...
