FS2020: Sim Update Guide | What To Do Before & After A Sim Update | For Xbox & PC 

I have never done any of this, and I have never had a problem completing the last 14 updates. I'm sure that the Asobo advice is to only do this IF you have a problem, otherwise, dont bother.

Hey Huddison, thanks for all the great videos. Your voice always reminds me of my English teacher at school back in the 90s.🙂 Kind regards from Germany!

Thanks for a great reminder video. On the point of the 3rd party .exe files, such as the JustFlight examples you gave, I always get an email from them telling me that an update is available. This saves me from having to check them myself. Cheers.

So, to be short: rename or move the Community folder, and after the mandatory update, update in Profile, Content manager. The Community folder can always be found in FS in Developer mode. Set Developer Mode ON (Options, General), then Tools, Virtual File System, Packages Folders, and click Open Community Folder.

Funny, I never had problems with the updates for MSFS ever, eventhough haven my community folders filled with loads of downloads.

Great video. I have been thinking about SU15.........like I have spent so many hours fine tuning SU14, DLSS file swaps etc etc etc....sigh here comes another update to break it all again LOL. BTW I love FS and I am invested in the journey .... hardwork though LOL

I think it will be a very useful video for simmers 👌 I would also recommend resetting the rolling cache if you're using it. I believe data might not be the same if a scenery has been updated.

Thank you for your advice....It always helps....Roger...Pembrokeshire...

before the update best to watch this video and have a cup of tea to calm ones nerves .

James... Very informative. I have never done this before. Not a bad idea to do just to be safe... Will do this before next update which at this point who knows when coming out !..🤪🤪🤪.

Thank you so much for the information. It's really appreciated and helpful. Great video.

Also delete the rolling cache

Great video. Don't know if you ever have explained deleting the Global cache files for those that are new

Many thanks, Last time i didnt change anything and lost all my community folder. Wont make that mistake again haha!

Thank you so much. Think your videos are the best for helping with these technical issues. It really helps

Thanks! A useful reminder!

Shout out for MSFS Addon Linker. A great way of managing your community folder.

Does anyone know how big SU15 will be once installed?

I don't know why we have to take those extra steps to install sim updates, I wish Asobo would give us an update to make installing sim updates easier, I know it's a simple matter of renaming the Community folder before installing such updates, the problem is not knowing when a sim update is available and you start the flight simulator without renaming the Community folder, which I've done a couple of times before with SU 11,12 and SU 14. With the uncertainty of the release date of SU 15, that could happen! It would also be nice to have a warning of a pending update install when we start the simulator so that we can at least have a chance to exit the sim and take those necessary steps, instead of being forced to automatically install updates!

great show thank you so much after all the updates nvidia and msfs my GLcache has moved , any thoughts on where it might be

I wonder if this situation might be causing my problem. I was not on MSFS for a while and when I came back after a some up dates, I found that my alpha and Bravo controls were not acting right. My throttle , for instance , needed to be pulled for acceleration and pushed for decelerating. Is it possible that I may have to re-install MSFS to correct this? Thanks for all your videos.

Do you know if SIM update 15 😊 will fix the problems of avionics going black? I stopped flying back at Christmas due to this

I know sim update 15 is on the way but not exactly when. Rather than go through this procedure every day until it does arrive, is there anyway of anticipating its release so I can do it only once?

I heard that there is still another beta of SU 15 pending so im willing to bet that this update will get delayed yet again

Is SU15 really out today? I just heard that its delayed ever more. Any news?

Nothing here for XBox. Doing updates afterwards is trivial.

I wish they would cut down on the updates ! I can’t turn my Xbox on and play MSFS without having to go through a update !

SU15 will be delayed. Again... But at least this way this video can be seen by more people.

when is the update dropping ??

SU15 it tomorrow?

Does not work for me, say some file are open in a another program!

By default community folder is empty??

It's probably getting delayed again

완전부실!! 이게 집이냐. 건설사 진짜 너무한다.

? Sounds like BS to me! You (they, ASOBO) are suggesting that every time I launch FS2020, the Community folder should be renamed, launch, find that 15 hasn't been released. Quit, un-rename folder and re-launch??!
