Few mins and I’ll be kicking the tyres and lighting the fires on Xbox ...

I wonder if the store stuff will be available and wonder if the scenery updates will have already been included ...

4 minutes ( approx ) to go !

That’ll work be right, you finish your install then you need to do all the extras.

Any updates to existing store stuff should be done through the download manager when you first load up. Any new stuff, well that's download round 2

Mine is doing a lot of "please wait" - I'm guessing it's queuing for the next download slot. This is a long wait to update...

Haha might not get that far ! First message online servers not available now stuck on checking for updates for past 5 minutes...

Promised the Mrs I would hoover no excuse now :-(

340 files / 40Gb for me, hopefully I'll be able to play sometime this evening...

Can't find a changelog anywhere?

"Release notes" at the bottom left of the window.

Hmm the same as the website - it doesn't seem as detailed as usual. No mention of the expected G1000 updates for example.

Ahh ! Looks like it maybe loading ! About as fast as a C64 disk drive

If this is the norm at least I can brew while it loads.

Just quit and start again, it started to download for me on my 3rd attempt. Download speed does seem to be throttled (around 16-20 Mbps for me)

I’m into the sim but it looks like it crashed. Restarted and now back to checking for updates.

Note if you are stuck on checking for updates turning your controller off seems to jump to next stage...

I give up looks like it’s crashed again I’ll try again when it’s quieter.

13GB in 1.5 hours.

Now it's waiting for 30 secs - 1 minute between packages (or parts of larger ones).

I think the demand may high!

First flight ... looks like it has used my pc settings... map and atc windows open.

Closed them now have this ...


Uninstalled ... I’ll revisit in a few months ...

New to this. Managed a quick flight around the Pyramids, looked damn fine on 4K TV. Crashed the plane, obviously, and won’t let me have another go. Oh well.

I’m loving it. Completely lost 2 and a half hours already, done a few circuits of my local airfield and I’m currently exploring NE Scotland, might invade Lossiemouth in my 172

Ok I’ve not uninstalled I’ve just moved it to my storage drive…. You guys also on pc has it used your pc settings ?

[souper]

I have a Xbox One X, it will not download at all, it will only run on series X and series S.

Pitts special.. Just flown over my house.

Great fun.

Bloody hell though, if I'd known how hard one is to fly I wouldn't have booked an acrobatic flight in NZ 20 years ago
