    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

General bugfix 1.25.9.0
Unfortunately, 4 weeks of beta testing (with two build updates) did not help us clearly identify some crashes related to operations on the world map when downloading packages or content in the background that have been released alongside Sim Update 9 (1.25.7.0). We are working to identify this gap in our beta testing and aim to better cover these cases moving forward. We thank you for your patience.


  • Fixed various crashes on the world map
  • Fixed crashes affecting airports that have a beacon but no runway (BIKF for example)
  • Fixed simobject data request creation process preventing Flight sim gear peripherals from working
  • Fixed a crash in vector placement during back to main menu
  • Fixed LOD streaming in vector placement in the Scenery editor
  • Fixed windshield flickering when the render scale is not set to 100%
  • Fixed CGL updating loading order to ensure custom CGL files are loaded correctly
  • Fixed ATC Azure TTS goes silent while in gameplay
  • Fixed crashes about SimConnect message reception after being closed in WASM

For me 341Mb.
 
I needed to re-install Flight Simulator a couple of days before SU9 was released and because I wasn't feeling the best I left SU9 to run overnight but when I got up next morning there was no indication if it had installed or not. It didn't. How do I get the update?
 
Next time you start MSFS, if there is an update to do, it will tell you during the 'load up' process.
Probably tell you to update the Xbox Store 1st. Once you do that then the Update should occur in the next MSFS start up.
Then when fully loaded you need to check your Content Manager/Profile to see if any small updates have been tucked away there.
PITA process.
Good luck

If you bought through the MS Store, click the library icon and check the last modified date on the sim. Also, the deep core files should be in this folder:
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_1.25.9.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

Note that the path changes with every new version #, so if you don't have this, check for C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_1.25.7.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe, which was the original major update version.

(I keep this path in a text file and update it with each new release.)
