Are you using ground power? (Trolley acc)

I'm still flying the AH Spitfire Mk.I and loving it! I prefer it over the Mk.IX, But it's a close call between the two.

Finally got it updated! After numerous tries at deleting the hung file, I tried the nuclear option and verified files this didn't work so I did a complete uninstall (including the fs files in c/app data roaming This still didn't work so I once more uninstalled and tried something different. This time when I uninstalled I also deleted any reference to flight simulator in Local as well as roaming data. I also decided to install into a different folder. I had been using D/MSFS2020 so I changed it to D/MSFS and it worked! Now i have no idea why it worked but I thought I would post here what I did anyway in case it might help some one else. The only downside is that by uninstalling the entire game again I was left with six and a half hours of downloading to get all the updates back. I hope I don't have to do this for every update going forward.

Your post was so helpful I just had to quote it!

You may well have a point. I have also posted on the official forums about this issue and I don't think Zendesk is all that helpful as they tend to just point you to their support articles which tell you to try all the things you have already tried. Besides, if the Dev teams are so "all over" these forums as they would have us believe, then they would be aware that this problem is still ongoing and at the very least acknowledge this and let us know if a solution is actually being sought.

Yeah, I thought about this too and tried that very option but I am still having the same problem I am pretty sure that this is being caused by the fact that there doesn't seem to be a fs-base-1.218.fspatch file (it has fs-base-1.217. and 219 but no 218) EDIT: just in case anyone suggests it, I should also point out that I tried stopping the download and deleting fs-base-1.219.fspatch.001 to try and force it to find a 218 file but no luck there either.

Tried that on numerous occasions but no go I'm afraid.

One thing I have noticed is that when the loop starts it no longer goes back to fs-base-0.1.205.package.001 but starts again at fs-base-0.1.206.patch.001, also the following files in the download are all there in numerical order from fs-base-0.1.206.patch.001 till fs-base-1.222.fspatch except fs-base-1.218.fspatch which seems to be missing from the list. Now I am wondering could this missing file be the reason the whole fs base portion seems to fail? I think It seems like it downloads everything then tries to decompress but when it finds fs-base-1.18.fspatch missing it just goes back to try and download the entire thing again. Edit : as the loop restarts , the last message to show up is definitely "Decompressing fs-base-0.1.206.patch.001" this message comes up very briefly before it reverts to downloading fs-base-0.1.206.patch.001 I am pretty confident the absence of fs-base-1.218.fspatch is the cause of the stall and loop but I don't know how it can be resolved without access to the missing file.

I already deleted the entire installation to no avail.

I am using the Steam version of MSFS Premium deluxe and I cant get the update to work I get stuck while downloading fs-base-1.21.fspatch.002 . It gets to 100% And then reverts to fs-base-0.1.205.package.001 This keeps repeating over and over. Now before World Update 8, a re-install has always cured this problem but now with this latest update even a re-install is not helping. I am at a loss as to what to try next and need any help I can get. Does anyone know what causes this problem and how to properly solve it?

Steam version here and once again I am stuck in a downloading/installing loop It seems this has been happening for the last three or four updates. My only remedy that has worked so far has been a complete uninstall and re install. This is getting old pretty fast. I think I have pretty much about had enough of this frustration.

Thanks, Dobee51. I was a little confused as I couldn't find anything missing from my sim. Even though it says it is uninstalled, it is like yours actually active. I will leave it as I like having the ships there.

Does anyone know what file or package GAIST_MSFS_V1_CVT Is? I am getting this coming up as showing uninstalled in my content manager and was wondering what it pertains to and if I need it.

Just a heads up for any Spitfire MkI pilots out there who may be interested. There is a nice facsimile of the original (and rare) Spitfire Pilots Notes for the Spitfire Mk.I available at Amazon.Uk for £4.99 Handy for anyone wanting a hard copy of the notes. rather than having to search around for download versions.

this thread cheered me up twice! Once when I saw we were getting a new DC3 and the second time when I saw Alan was back posting. I've really missed his insightful comments and am still patiently waiting for his AH Spitfire Mk.I review! Welcome back Chocks!
