Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Installation Problems

Anonymous

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!

    I have the same problem, will not move past the first download. Keeps reseting and looping endlessly !!!!! This is a waste of time and money for a product that by the looks of it MANY people can't get to work !!!!

    Intel i7-7700 3.60G

    16 mb ram

    RTX 2070 super 8mb

    windows 10 ver 2400

    ALL updates applied

    AV turned off

    Firewall turned off

    netsh command run as administrator

    Rebooted computer several times and restarted installation. 

    and so far that is the only entertainment gotten from the game. 

    P3dV5 works flawlessly on this system 4k and most settings ultra so surely it is good enough for MS2020.

    I also have the same issue. My content manager starts downloading the 91Gb sized package well, and suddenly it stops around 77Gb left.

    Whatever i try, the download dont start anymore. Reboot, CMD command tips, changing drive, all advices  are followed. My computer is on ethernet cable. If i open the windows taskmanager i only see spikes on internet traffic and hardly no activity on the harddisk. 

    Trying to install the flight sim now for 3 days....

    Frustrating and certainly when your an aircraft licenced engineer........

    Please help us.....

    I have found a fix

     - Observe the offending file in the launcher that keeps resetting its progress, for me "asobo-aircraft-c152.fspackage".

     - Go into the install path for the game and locate the folder relating to your particular fspackage

     - Renamed the offending folder to "asobo-aircraft-c152.old" (I did this while the launcher was actually open, not sure if I recommend this as it was an oversight on my part) and hopefully watch the launcher finish in short order. Hope this helps at least one person.

    This has been a 3 day struggle for me that is now finally over, thankyou Microsoft for taking my £80 and providing me with this. Very pleased.
