    What do do with the updates for Microsoft Flight Sim if there is no enough space


    Well I downloaded Microsoft flight sim and everything was going great until the new mandatory update. So when I was about to update just like usual ( I have 55gb in my storage now.), watching all YouTube videos, they recommended that I downloaded the game to another file so I thought that it would be good that my updates are downloaded into another file. Hence I changed my file location. And now, every time I open Microsoft flight sim, it tells me to update and when I try to find a file it says that there is no space on that disk. Pls help by telling me what to do and also telling me what file I can put the updates to to relocate the updates to the original file

    :)

    I take it you are on PC?

    Game updates can only be downloaded to the same drive and location where the main game was installed. You can't put them on another drive or folder. This because updates overwrite/update the already installed program files.

    If you're running low on space you only have three options:

    • Move some of your other less used or no longer used games to another drive.
    • Delete some your no longer played games.
    • Add a bigger storage device to your computer.

    I have MSFS installed and it is on version 1.18.14. When I try to start it up it tells me there is a mandatory update. The store says I'm up to date?? What do I do??

    What fixed it was installing Xbox on the PC. Not Xbox game bar but just plain Xbox. It is like the Microsoft Store but for games mostly. It recognized that I needed to update Microsoft Flight Sim but would not do it. I clicked on the update for Microsoft Flight Sim and nothing would happen. But then I went back to Microsoft Store and it recognized I needed to update MSFS and did it. Problem solved.

    OAG's (old age gamers) What vintage game would you give an HD makeover?

    I think this is what is missing from the xbox a new flight sim/ space sim like elite......In todays gaming it would look amazing..

    CH Products Flight Sim Yoke Set up

    How do i set up CH Products Flight Sim Yoke for Microsoft Flight Sim 2020?
    I had to map each axis and button manually. Equipment must be too old for them to do it for us.
