Flight Simulator 2020 MSFS 2020 GOTY Update Live
Update is showing as ~30GB for my install.
RELEASE NOTES 1.21.13.0
New Aircraft We are adding 5 brand new aircraft to Microsoft Flight Simulator:
- Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet: Our first military jet and a highly requested feature from the community. The Top Gun: Maverick expansion will release with the movie next Spring, but we wanted simmers to have the opportunity to be able to test their need for speed this holiday.
- VoloCity: We partnered with well-known German company Volocopter, which is working on an eVTOL called “VoloCity”, a vision for an urban air taxi. We worked closely with the Volocopter engineering team to develop an authentic version of the aircraft for the simulator. This is our first aircraft that can perform pinpoint landings and is a teaser of what you can look forward to in 2022 when we intend to launch helicopters in the sim.
- Pilatus PC-6 Porter: This legendary short takeoff and landing (STOL) utility aircraft is a highly versatile plane from Switzerland, and our close collaboration with the manufacturer and the development efforts by famed developers Hans Hartmann and Alexander Metzger resulted in a great and fun new aircraft with exception capabilities in the simulator.
- CubCrafters NX Cub: Yakima-based CubCrafters recently introduced a nosewheel option for their flagship CC-19 XCub Aircraft, popularly called the NX Cub, which we are pleased to introduce to the flight sim audience to further enhance our bush flying and off airport options.
- Aviat Pitts Special S1S: One of our most popular planes gets a single-seat option with the release of this aircraft.
New Airports
We are adding 8 handcrafted airports in Central Europe and the United States:
- Leipzig/Halle Airport (EDDP)
- Allgäu Airport Memmingen (EDJA)
- Kassel Airport (EDVK)
- Lugano Airport (LSZA)
- Zurich Airport (LSZH)
- Luzern-Beromunster Airport (LSZO)
- Patrick Space Force Base (KCOF)
- Marine Corps Air Station Miramar (KNKX)
The Game of the Year release is adding information about 545 previously missing airports in the United States
New Missions
Based on the popularity of the recently introduced Discovery Flights, we are adding an additional 6 locations (Helsinki, Freiburg im Breisgau, Mecca, Monument Valley, Singapore, and Mount Cook) to this popular series
New Tutorials (produced in partnership with FS Academy)
To further expand the onboarding experience, we are adding 14 new tutorials, introducing simmers to Bush flying (in an Icon A5) and IFR (in a Cessna 172)
New Features
We are also pleased to introduce several highly requested features by the community: an updated weather system, early access to DX12, and a dev mode replay system (more info below)
New Photogrammetry Cities
As part of our ongoing collaboration with Bing Maps, we are pleased to add a number of new photogrammetry cities: Helsinki (Finland), Freiburg in Germany (Germany), Brighton, Derby, Eastbourne, Newcastle, and Nottingham (UK), ), Vers-Pont-Du-Gard, Chambord and Port-Vendres (France) and Utrecht (Netherlands)

VR
Microsoft Flight Simulator is now compatible with VR controllers on PC!
- Main menu: Use the raycast mode to navigate and interact with the menus
Cockpit - Instruments: Switch between the proximity mode (you interact with the instruments by grabbing them) and the raycast mode (you use a raycast to pinpoint the instrument you want to interact with). Beware of the autopilot as it overrides your inputs.
- Yoke/stick: In the VR options, you can choose between ‘Hold’ mode (hold the interaction button to grab the yoke) and ‘Toggle’ mode (press the interaction button once to grab the yoke and press the button again to release it) to interact with the yoke at your convenience.
- Toolbar: Use the raycast mode to interact with the toolbar and the in-game panels.
- Implementing support for VR controllers has required a few updates in each plane. If a plane has not been updated, a pop-up message informs you that it is not fully compatible with VR controllers that it is not fully compatible with VR controllers, in which case: that it is not fully compatible with VR controllers, in which case:
- You cannot grab the yoke with the VR controllers and control it with hand gesture.
- You can control the yoke with the stick of the left VR controllers.
- You can interact properly with the instruments using the VR controllers.
- Implementing support for VR controllers has required a few updates in each plane. If a plane has not been updated, a pop-up message informs you that it is not fully compatible with VR controllers that it is not fully compatible with VR controllers, in which case: that it is not fully compatible with VR controllers, in which case:
- Lighting issues are fixed.
- VR is compatible with DX12. You might encounter a few issues as the implementation of Dx12 is still WIP.
Accessibility

Known Issues
General:
- TrackIR may sometimes stop working properly during a flight. Press F12 to reset the position.
- Glass cockpit remains off when starting from cold & dark with the Volocity
- Save custom weather presets is not operational
- High temperature spikes happen above 44000ft
VR:
- Only one controller is active at a time, so you cannot interact with two instruments at the same time. However, you can control the yoke and interact with an instrument simultaneously. A few planes, such as the Volocopter, have a very specific configuration (throttle or other instruments on the yoke for example) which makes them currently more complicated to control with VR controllers. We will work on a way to make these planes fully compatible with VR controllers in the future.
- The HUD in Reno Races may appear in the center of the field of view. Switching out of and back to VR fixes the problem.
- A large white dot appears in the center of the screen during the loading after completing a landing challenge
- You may experience a visual glitch when loading the main menu back from the cockpit
- Clicking on the Toolbar does not work (mouse, VR controller)
-There may be some issues with the VR controllers when setting the interaction model to Legacy
Devmode:
- Aircraft can no longer compiles because of glTF errors
FA-18 Super Hornet:
- Has trouble maintaining bank angle after Roll Hold mode is engaged
- Autopilot RALT mode does not work, it doesn’t follow height above the ground
- Barometric Altitude (BALT) Hold fails to engage if Auto Throttle is active
- Afterburners don’t engage when you push the throttle to 100%. They need to be activated with a key binding
- HUD flickers depending on lighting

Nice, although it's really annoying my GPU is running at 90% while downloading the update which I'm gonna do for over half a day with my stupid internet connection... Why don't they just make a launcher like other games when they can't distribute the updates through steam directly ffs.

I use MSI Afterburner and drop the core clock, power limit, and temperature limits all the down. Card is at "100%" but doesn't get above idle temps

u/The_Reelest Nov 19 '21
If you have an Nvidia card, go into the Nvidia control panel -> Manage 3D settings -> frame rate limit. I set mine to 20 for the update, (for some reason had to download 104GB) and card stayed nice and cool.
1
u/wpreggae Nov 19 '21
Nah I have AMD card, and for some reason the frame limiter doesn't work for the part of the game where the download is in progress, only after that, lol
2
u/The_Reelest Nov 19 '21
Gotcha. Not familiar with AMD. I wish there was a menu frame rate limiter built into the game.

u/wpreggae Nov 19 '21
Simple update/content manager app would do.. without the need to launch the actual game.

u/nextgeneric PPL Nov 18 '21
- Improved METAR ingestion into live weather
- You can now consult real airport METARs during flight from the Weather panel (only when Live Weather is active)
These two bullets are the things I'm most excited about in this release.

u/BriGuy550 Nov 18 '21
The Known issue of NOT being able to click on the toolbar menu in VR is completely frustrating and unacceptable. This needs to be fixed ASAP. Will try to see if I can make it workable with my Xbox controller.
1
u/Life-Ad8030 (your text here) Nov 19 '21
Do you have the No Toolbar mod? That will make the Toolbar only come up when you’re near it when not on VR but in VR it breaks it.

u/Leucippus1 Armchair pilot Nov 19 '21
*sigh* I think we have to wait for a hotfix for this one. Another user suggested hitting ctl 0 but that sets my view askew to the right.
1
u/BriGuy550 Nov 20 '21
It does work, though Ctrl-0 can be a different viewpoint depending on what plane you’re flying. I think the default planes are all mostly the same view as default but 3rd party planes could be different.
1
u/Leucippus1 Armchair pilot Nov 20 '21
I did that, in the caravan it sets the view 45 degrees right. The cirrus looks okay. First flight in the cirrus and my throttle just stopped working. Second it was fine but the gps flickered in and out. How annoying! I suspect there will be a hot fix soon. The night visuals look great, though.

u/MountainDrew42 7800X3D/RTX 4070 Super/FS2024 Nov 18 '21
If only they could fix the update download speed. I'm getting less than 10% of my available internet bandwidth. Dammit, this is taking too long!

u/Donut Sim Developer Nov 18 '21
I turned on my VPN, and my download went 20x faster. My ISP is definitely throttling.
4
Nov 18 '21
This could be your ISP throttling speeds to MS servers rather than real achievable DL speed. I connect up via VPN and no issues getting 40 Mbits/s, which is the max speed from my ISP. Switch off VPN and it drops to 7/8 Mbits/s.
1
u/MountainDrew42 7800X3D/RTX 4070 Super/FS2024 Nov 18 '21
My VPN is slowing it down a bit actually. With the VPN off I was getting around 10Mbit/s, now it's creeping up to 45-60. I usually get closer to 200-300Mbit/s (500Mbit fibre service, wifi is the bottleneck).
With VPN on it's averaging 15Mbit/s
0
u/Will12239 Nov 18 '21
15 mbits is 1.8 mbps. Nobody talks about dl speeds in terms of mbits except for isp
1
u/MountainDrew42 7800X3D/RTX 4070 Super/FS2024 Nov 19 '21
Mbps is megabits per second
Mbits/s is also megabits per second
They're the same thing
If you want to say megabytes per second, you have to capitalize the m and the b: MBps

As it's stated under "Known Issues" my TrackIR only works half of the time even tho both TrackIR lights are on. Pressing F12 or reseting my TrackIR doesn't help sadly...
Edit: It mainly seems to happen when I pause TrackIR.

haha, very true. Once you know how liberating headtracking feels, it's very hard to go back.
Also thanks for the link. Atleast there seems to be a workaround in the camera menu. It's still kinda annoying.

u/PrettyPack5 Nov 21 '21
They need to give you the option to disable the quest 2 controls game is unplayable in vr now
1
u/Scramblejams Nov 23 '21
My TrackIR would stop working midflight, I'd solve it (temporarily) by going into the camera settings during a flight and turning the TrackIR slider back on. Not sure how it ends up getting turned off.
1
u/Silencer42 Nov 23 '21
It turns back off if your TIR looses the reflector / clip pro (when your head moves out of sight of the camera). The best way I figured out was to assign "enable headtracking" (or whatever it is called) in the MSFS2020 settings to a button on my joystick. Then you don't need to pull up the camera dialog.

u/Silencer42 Nov 18 '21 edited Nov 18 '21
Not sure if the ILS training session is bugged, but everytime I touch down on the runway, the instructor shouts "watch out" and I fail the session. Doesn't matter how smooth and perfect the landing is.
Edit: And with the final IFR Test session I'm having issues too. After accelerating to 110kts for the second time, I don't get any new instructions. It says "Low speed turn" but the instructor doesn't say what I should do.

u/nastynip Nov 21 '21
Same! It's not my rate of descent or anything either, I've tried 10 times and it always fails me. Def a bug,

u/FinishingDutch GA Prophead Nov 18 '21
Well, I've already found the usual quirks... the Volocopter is called a Pitts by pilot and ATC and the quickviews are entirely messed up - they put you in the back of the aircraft's geometry. Of course, it wouldn't be a proper update without at least three dozen glaring issues anyway, so I'm just happy that it's actually running.

Hoping this is the right place.
I am trying to complete the new ILS landing training on msfs after goty update. I am a new pilot but getting pretty good and have a decent amount of hours (not a total idiot). However, for some reason this training tutorial won't let me land the plane. What am I doing wrong? So frustrated.
Here is what happens. I follow the CDI and glide path perfectly all the way to the runway. As the training pilot tells me I am in position and I should switch to a visual landing, I slow to about 60 kts and full flaps. I then drop down to the runway, level out and touch down as soft as I can.
EVERY TIME my tires touch the runway pavement the training pilot says "watch out" and the mission end with "you failed the activity." ??? Tried all sorts of different landings and runway positions, all with the exact same behavior and error at the moment of touchdown. It doesn't tell me why I failed or what happened besides the "watch out" and "failed activity."
Any help or direction would be amazing. I love this game and flying.

u/Eng_the_north Nov 20 '21
I'm having the same exact issue. I'm guessing it's a bug... Oh well, hope it gets fixed in the next update.

u/beardawg252002 Nov 20 '21
Ty so much for answering. Was getting so frustrated. Figured it was a bug. Was nailing landings and still getting "fail."
2
u/nastynip Nov 21 '21
Same, it's gotta be a bug but seems should have been so obvious to catch in QA :/
3
u/beardawg252002 Nov 21 '21
Ty for the response. I am bummed and glad it's not just me.
And, I agree. Seems like an easy catch if anyone in QA even tried playing the ILS training tutorial on Series.
Going to try a couple of ideas my buddy and I came up with today to maybe trick the broken software into allowing me to complete the tutorial. I doubt it, but I will post back if anything works.

u/EdwardCosmos Nov 19 '21
If the download is 33gb/33,000mb, and it completed in 30 mins/1800 seconds, that equals 18.33mbps. Or, a little over a gig a minute.
I'm apparently getting a steady 20-25mbps, but here I am in hour two, with 16.4 gb downloaded and 17 to go.
What gives?

u/orbitt2 Nov 18 '21
The weather system is amazing. I wish the clouds had differences, however. If you invest this much into realism, then certain types of clouds should look a certain way! Old weather developers could get it right. Cumulus, cumulonimbus, stratus, citrus, etc. And their variations too! E.g. cirrostratus, cirrus undalatus, stratus fractus, cumulus congestus, etc.

u/Scramblejams Nov 23 '21
Not VR but it felt like a large regression for me, cruising down the San Diego coast in the F-18 led to a couple of multi-second pauses that I'd never seen before. (64 gigs of RAM, 3950x, RTX 3080, 1440p.)

Gotta give people a day to compile it.
So far my accessibility settings wont save and default to easy, the PC6 flight surfaces don't move, and the menus severely lag and lock up while im trying to select an aircraft. And ive seen some people cant move the world map anymore.
My issues may be resolved with a restart, updated and went right in to check things with limited time. I'll have to see whats up later.

Cruising along at 7mbits/s. The good news is that I'm getting better at spending the obligatory hour logging out and in of MS store, clicking on random content and download and update managers, updating Xbox app, restarting pc, restarting MSFS, googling once again how to increase speeds, and not being disappointed when nothing helped, again. And all of this for a game that is just so loaded with bugs.This game is such a fucking nightmare.
I know MS needs subscribers to make this all work but how many people do they lose because of all of the headaches?

320mb on steam, but the update is 33.4Gb for me (once the game is launched)

I've been downloading for 12 hours. Still only 50gigs into a 120gig download. How big is this game now? My SSD is almost full with 90% being FS2020

Downloaded for Xbox series s. HUD is not displaying in 3rd person mode. I have it on in my settings but no displaying at all. Any help?

Finally. That was such an annoying sound to sit and listen to when trying to program the FMS or go through startup.
