    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.

    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.

    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.

    • @ArieGBoom
      @ArieGBoom หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes, that's what is recommended by others as well. The more when your Community folder (like mine) is loaded with add-on software. Delete the rolling cache at your last shut down - prior to the expected release of the SU - and reset your rolling cache size only when the SU (incl. all in the content manager) is successfully completed.

    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!

    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.

    • @Huddison

      Go into Controls Options/Power Management and untick the 'Reverse Axis' box (on your throttle axis). Hopefully that'll solve your issues there.
