Installing patch?

Postby cevans » Fri Sep 04, 2020 9:13 am

Just went to load up MSFS and it seems to be downloading the goddamned thing again! Is this due to the patch and they installing it for you? How nice! :x

Last time it took me all night long to get the file and that was after 2 failed attempts. Is this going to be the way with every patch? If so FORGET IT.

Sure there is a way around that?

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Well I simply clicked on the MSFS icon in the Windows start menu and low and behold next thing I know the whole thing is downloading again. Left overnight and now all ready to go. Haven't run it yet.
