Before anyone starts screaming, the new FFB and most of the other delights in the recent dev notes were stated as coming in June. We're still in May, so this is not that patch.

1.7 GB, another overnight download on DSL.

Is every update a complete download of RR?
Eagerly awaiting a Starlink ground station.

Good to know, still the new upgrade did not recognize my wheel at first and now that it does, the FFB feels very different. Coincidence?

Possibly, or maybe the result of a corrupt file which is now working correctly? But it's not the FFB update, as you can see from date and the patch notes. A major FFB rework is a headline, not something you'd forget to mention after announcing it a week ago.

R3E is over 40GB in total, so 1.7GB is nothing. In an update that is adding graphical content (which this one is) it's not surprising, since models and textures always weigh in with the biggest file sizes. Thing is that 1-2GB is hardly unusual for any game update in this day and age. While I understand that some people may still be restricted to slow internet connections, you can't expect developers to base their game development on the download speeds of such users.
