    That one I tried over and over.

    Never did do it for me. The biggest problem was the X Box integration itself, that and the download cap I had put on it while it was in Beta, it maintains your settings in the CLOUD, how brilliant of game design is that?

    Stop the press, after 8 months I am on the way to downloading this game.  What did I do?  EVERYTHING I found online did not work.  Today I noticed after signing out of the xbox windows app, I could not sign back in.  So I uninstalled it. Then decided to give FS2020 a whirl and guess what, it worked.  Now downloading with no resets.  Seriously what a POS installer.

    Note I did not reinstall the xbox app.  Was a new installer released over the last 5 days?  No idea.  But I tried it last week and same **** reset on download on the 3rd file.

    Well done, and good for reporting this!

    I bought disc version from Gamebyte- but still required downloads for “installer”

    Cannot map Logitech throttle quadrants now... Logitech useless!

    Why does no one give a direct email to support...?

    Alright, I appear to have finally figured out what was causing the downloads to keep looping to 0%.  I came across this troubleshooting page:

    https://flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016844080-Download-stuck-on-packages-Install-loop-Decompressing-issues

    The specific step that fixed the problem for me was "Disable Window Auto-Tuning"

    A) Disable Window Auto-tuning

    • In the Windows search bar, type Command and look for ‘Command Prompt’
    • In the menu select “Run as administrator”
    • Enter: netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disabled
    • Press enter
    • Reboot your computer

    Apparently Window Auto-Tuning can have issues with old networking gear.  I use my neighbor's internet, and it is an old and crappy Arris router which is likely the culprit.  I've been downloading steadily with zero loops since I changed it.  Hope this helps, for what it's worth.
