Thanks Dean, I thought I had the most recent drivers but it has been a while. Good to know in the future. Much appreciated.
Well, I installed an update through Steam (only 252 Mb), the sim says that I'm on 1.11.6.0, but the marketplace is unavailable...
I'm seriously considering uninstalling the whole thing and starting from scratch...
But before I do, anyone has any ideas on this?

the Windows installer was confusing also : asking if I wanted to install the program but not specifying 'deluxe' or 'standard' or 'premium' - just do you want to install FS2020...
so being utterly careless and so on I clicked 'yes' - then i had a 300mb installation. Then FS2020 opened to the splash screen and I was asked again to 'install the update' so OK yes...and I had to direct that one to the original folder on my 'D' drive..
THAT was the big one and it took a minute...THEN still not done - I had to go into the 'Marketplace' and add in all the things that were downloaded but not installed.
Wonky AF is the technical term for this Sh!te, lol

- In the Windows start search bar (bottom left corner of desktop), type in “Xbox Game Bar”
- When the gamebar opens, there’s a menu bar at the top center of the screen. Click on the cogwheel at the right end for settings.
- Go to Accounts, then click the Sign Out button about the middle of the next screen.
- Launch MSFS. An Xbox Live box will appear again, this time saying “Let’s Play”. Click on that button.
- Launching MSFS continues, downloads ensue, and now things work again.
That's it. Thanks so much, Now to find some of them.
That's why they pay me the "big bucks!" 
Is it just me, or has anyone noticed subtle changes to the level of terrain detail with the latest update? Asobo has lowered the LOD on the water and now the terrain LOD seems less than it was at launch. All of my settings are tuned to the highest settings. Anyone?Launch image on the left. Latest update on the right.
The lower right of each pic looks like higher detail rather than lower, but the lower elevation areas look like less detail. Maybe it was a tradeoff?

So that is why all of a sudden my GFX card gets hot and I get stutters! I didn't check my settings, but now I will! Thanks for that important pointer dvj!!

I fear the tradeoff is for X-Box users in favor of FPS. Note the total lack of detail (black areas), in some of the terrain in the new update. Fine detail in the distance is totally missing. It's not my settings, it the update. SAD! Asobo did this to the water textures as well. As has been written, one step forward, two steps backward with every update. A few in the MS forums have noticed, but it's falling of deaf ears. If this turns in to "Flight", I'm out. I certantly won't be buying any addon payware until this improves. -d
One of the big attractions when I purchased was the coastal areas on how the water and beaches blended looking at online videos, but in the game, they are poor and beaches are largely non existent. I do hope that the game isn't sacrificed for XBox users. I wonder how many XBox users will continue to use the sim after the novelty wears off given how many controls you need use to get the most from it.
The more I look at my initial screenshots when this thing launched, the more I get disappointed in the direction Asobo is taking with the latest update. I can still take landscape screenshots, but they don't have the same detail fidelity they had just a few short months ago. Now I've noticed how the Grand Canyon looks "soft". Uggh! I would highly recommend different versions. One for X-box and low end PC specs, and one for high end PC users like myself. Alas, that would probably be too difficult to manage by Asobo who seem to be in over their heads. With so much changing in the sim so rapidly, I don't know how a 3rd party developer could launch a stable product.
Bing Imagery Changes
A kind person responded to my post in the FS forums about visible texture changes in the sim with the last update. It is now apparent that Asobo is using updated Bing imagery with the most recent US update. Interesting how the geological features have changed. Well, this is a tiny part of the world, but we can expect that this is going to evolve over time across the entire planet. "Old" is a detail of my screenshot from early product launch. "New" is after the recent update.

I tried reverting to P3D, it's like going from a 4k high def movie to a cartoon. FS2020 like FSX/P3D before it is still in it's incipient stages of evolving development but even now, the writing is on the wall, it's the future of simulation. I too noticed the changes with the latest update but I concur, they just updated to the latest Sat imagery. Some points of interest I fly actually look better now that I have had time to test them in depth while some locations seem somewhat reverted. Nevertheless, I'm good with it.
