Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Installation Problems

I have managed to get as far as the "Welcomem Set Your Experience" screen ==> Content Manager" that seems to keep restarting the download for "asobo-aircraft-b787-10-0.1.35.fspackage".

The download will sometimes get to around 30% and then reset back to start again, while other times it may only get to 7% or 12%.

Why is this happening?

My internet is reasonably stable with a consistent download bandwidth of between 30MBPS to 50MBPS.

Thanks!

    hello   and thank you for writing.    Thankfully I solved it now   and at the stage  of configs  with the    joy stick  etc. 

    if I can help.  First off   don't use  Wi Fi  you must use LAN cable to your Router. this is for the installation,  I don't know about flying at the moment,  THIS IS VITAL 

      I  re installed the 10 dvd activated with the key,    and then  I signed into my store. now because I already had  flights sims attempts in the store library,  this time I signed in different account.   

    I got a message   pre ordered. but the other copies of sims were not there.    and at the side of it    it said   launch.  it then asked for disc 1.   so I put that into the drive,  then it said  update  so I did, that ,  so I clicked on  update,   and it was three hours,  and then it said continue.        then it    started at welcome page.  and there was    OPTIONS    GENERAL  AND   CONTROLS    that's where I am  now.  I do hope this helps   the main problems are    UPDATE  takes forever  but it does get there.   and every time  you want to fly,  you have to go to the store and  click  launch.  I did   get   refund  from  Aea rosoft     but it took 1 month.   and I bought it again for one last try, from scan computers UK.

    I am now starting to ask,   if we get  live scenery   who wants to buy   further  scenery from  any dealer.  do we get live scenery?     Any how I hope there are no more hold ups.   I have been on  since  march  pre  release. I read PC Flight  mag  every month  and for the last  year, Microsoft, never mentioned any of these things   let alone needing 10 dvds,,   charles.

    Hi,

    The download (in this instance when downloading the b787 aircraft package) does NOT resume from where it left off - it resets to zero every time and restarts in a continuous loop.

    Note this is from the CONTENT MANAGER - checking for updates and then after confirming a file location, gets stuck in an ever failing loop of restarting the download.

    And yes i have already tried the other points noted and my internet is very stable.

    Thanks!
