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!

I have run into a couple of problems while setting up the rudder and elevator trim controls in FS. When assigning the rudder controls, I selected right rudder trim and then start scanning. while in scanning mode I moved the wheel forward and it registered Number 9 as expected I then hit validate and repeated the procedure for left rudder trim and it came up number 10. So far so good. I I then selected apply and save but in the sim nothing happens when I move the rudder trim wheel. Also when it comes to the elevator trim set up I can't seem to find an option for setting nose up and nose down trim. All I can find is either toggle elevator trim or set elevator trim, each of which only accept one input. so how do I get it to accept one input for nose up and another input for nose down? Any help on these issues will be gratefully received. I should also point out that both trim wheels have been properly calibrated.

That's a shame. I was hoping there was a way we could maybe just press a button to highlight place names rather than having to download and have a separate app and have it running in the background. Surely it wouldn't have been so difficult for Asobo to implement one more key press?

Does anyone know if it is possible to toggle the city labels off and on without accessing the menu? I .E. can a button be assigned to this task?

Could someone experienced in the Spitfire please tell me what is the best engine, prop and mixture setting to get the maximum cruise distance from the Spitfire MKIa?

I just flew from EGPG to EGHR with no issues. There were plenty of clouds around on Live weather.

Yeah thats what I thought. That moving the throttle forward should flick the switch.

Has anyone else noticed a problem with the Aeroplane Heaven Spitfire MKIa Landing Gear Indicator Up/Down lights Not working on Update 7?

You Guys are hitting "apply and save" when you make these changes, Yes?

I tried that. Now it says the download is 2.05gb and loops back to the start after downloading 762.46mb

Tried downloading steam version update, I get to 32.12 gb out of 33.40gb and then it goes back to 30.61 gb and just goes into a continuous loop going to 32.12gb and back to 30.61gb > I've given up after an hour of this.
