October 19, 20214 yr My 7.5GB download of the MS store version gets to the 98% point, does some decompressing, then jumps back to the 84% point. It repeats this 84 to 98 percent cycle over and over. Al Edited October 19, 20214 yr by ark

It repeats this 84 to 98 percent cycle over and over. Al Well, after letting the above cycle repeat for 45 min I finally gave up and restarted the sim. This time I had a 16.85GB download instead of the original 7.5 GB download, and this new download completed. Strange. I don't understand why the 7.5GB download changed into a 16.85 GB download. So I'm not sure if I have ended up with a valid MSFS MS store update (It does say I have ver 1.20.6.0), guess I will find out the hard way. I was also able to complete the seven or so updates listed in the Content Manager. I'm just reporting this in case someone else with the MS store ver of MSFS runs into a similar issue with the original 7.5GB download. Al Edited October 19, 20214 yr by ark

October 19, 20214 yr In my case the update was actually 2 updates.... I now always start MFS through the xBox client, so, I start xBox, then my only game there which is MFS, click on the icon, MFS starts... Usually I close the xBox window as the game starts to load, but this time I even left it opened... After MFS started loading an update notice popped up, I pushed a 12+ MB update, the sim started, I didn't even check the version number and rushed testing a few items a friend on the Beta Team had mentioned to be updated - they all turned out to be in the exact same ( poor ) state as they were before 😕 After commenting it was the same that friend told me it was really strange and that I should have noticed the new roll rates for aerobatic aircraft, as well as some differences on ground friction... "Hmmmmm..." I thought to myself... And I decided to start xBox, then Game Store, and from Game Store start MFS... Woops!!! A new small ( MB-ish ) update of the main app was issued, it downloaded and installed and then, as MFS was started again, a 8GB update was then announced, which I pushed, installed and went testing. This turn around the menntioned modifications were perceptible. I am still about to check the supposed new "ground effect" window in Dev Mode, but, it's now updated to SU6 and it took two update processes - rather weird 😕 Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
