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!

    my download is looping back trying to down load the same file continuously.

    The fix is stupid and Microsoft needs to fix their servers, but to get it to work I had to set my ethernet adapter to 10 Mbps and full duplex.  You can do so under Device Manager and find your Ethernet Controller then under Properties or Advanced go to where you can set the speed and take it off of Auto Negotiation and set it to 10 Mbps & Full Duplex then start your download.  It will look like it is going to restart a few times but trust me just let it go about an hour later and I had that massive 1.8.3 patch downloaded.

    I am sorry guys,   My problem,  is I need to remove  the Xbox game pas download from my library.  its brand new and I haven't used it. but its paid for.      after activation of my physical DVD set,  it is stopping  the simulator the proper finishing download,  plus launcher,  and I have been stuck for months. with this  problem.   Brand new  PC  built for the purpose of flying the new simulator. HIGH SPECS.,    I have been flying since 1998 right up to Microsoft x  then they went off the market  and X PLANE  came on the scene with no problems.   any  can help  I would be so grateful,   thank  you

    It's working for me I will keep you updated. I wonder (having a little knowledge in this subject) Have the compressed the files so much that they are now having issues with corruption of the data forcing the reset on the last file or is it the servers and their connection that's the issue. Please Can somebody come back to us on this. Even we don't know or you might be correct is better than nothing and at least we know you are trying to move forward. It really annoys me that large companies hide behind a wall of silence when thing don't go to plan ( and the often don't) Own up and lets work together to get a workaround till you fix the issue. Every body is a happy bunny then.  PS the down load is at 6% on fs-base-0.1.61.fspackage.002 which is more than it has done in the last 24hrs. After 2hours its still going I have also Altered the max frame rate of the sim to 20 FPS within the NVIDIA Settings . so it no longer knocks the smoke out of my graphics card  4hours in and its till going but will take approx 24

    hours at this rate

    When I first ordered my simulator from Amazon  I said I wanted a physical DVD . At that time  Microsoft said there would be no Xbox supply  until after this launch.

      My order was July 23rd.    I paid the money   and on August 18th I got a message from Amazon my DOWNLOAD  was in the library.   I have refused to accept and its still there.

       Hence now I have a problem  with the 10 DVD Set..   after 10th Disc it supposed to open the store and continue a further  80+ Gigs download including Launcher.  without this, according to the book  the files will not  open the Sim.  

    Still after several attempts since August,   I  am still  no further forward,  because on the 10th DVD  the store  opens,  but I am forced  into downloading  the digital  copy for XBOX  which I did not order.  

    I have tried dozens of times to get in touch with Microsoft, and I cant get through,  has any one any idea  what  can do for this,  I am just about up the wall.  I have been flying Simulators since 1998  the very first release from Microsoft,  never had any bother. This one I agree is a  total waste of £109. amazon wont refund. and £139 for a  Box Set of useless DVDs,  even after creating an account with Microsoft. Which is also compulsory for this Simulator.   stick with Xplane 11.
