MSFS Update 14 is out and although it was a hefty download at over 6gb, I got mine down and installed today without any problems. I was going to wait a couple of days in case M$ was overloaded with downloaders today but when I opened the sim, it nagged me straight away so I pressed on and got it done.
Seeing all the advice on various outlets, I renamed the 'Community' folder first to 'Community.old' as a precaution then when it was all installed I did a quick flight, closed the sim and removed the new 'Community' folder the update had created and renamed the original back to just 'Community' and all is well.

Re: Microsoft Update 14
Might update tomorrow. Took ages to update 13, the forums say 14 is no better. I just pull the community folder out, to the root of the drive. The sim will create a new empty community folder on startup. I let the update install, then go fly in a default a/c at a default airport. Shut down and drag the original community folder back into the sim, merging with the newly created folder. Then restart and load up an addon a/c, at an addon airport. If all OK then voilà it's done.

Done and dusted in about 20 mins. yesterday, contents of the community file moved for the duration, no problems so far ....except it doesn't seem to have cured all the problems in Burning Blue Designs sceneries, which is a shame as I'm a great lover of them. Compton Abbas now OK, not so for Popham Hoping to check more later

It's so nice to be insane, nobody asks you to explain.
Re: Microsoft Update 14
I started downloading at 16.15 on Wednesday, the download speed ran between 0.15 mps to 0.00 mps by 1915hrs I shut down the computer, started it next day and burger me, it only took a few minutes to finish
I used to be an optimist but with age I am now a grumpy old pessimist.

Re: Microsoft Update 14
Blimey Nigel...those download speeds sounded atrocious...I was lucky I was getting 60mbps dropping occasionally to 2.4mbps but speeds soon picked up again and I reckon it all took just under 30 minutes.
First update for me as I have not had MSFS that long and it was up to date when I installed it of course so it was the first update required for me.
There was a slight concern after reading all the problems that some had with updates previous to this one but I was pleasantly surprised in the end.
