Yes create an empty folder of the exact same name in the 2024 Community folder.
No need to delete anything in streamed packages folder. It would be pointless doing that as it would repopulate automatically anyway.
It seems to work on a prioritisation basis so Community priority > streamed content priority or something like that.
That was my theory and it appears to be correct. Empty folder in community prioritizes over streamed and since there’s nothing in the folder, nothing to load and therefore break.
I tried this fix this morning to try to remove Asobo/gaya new EGLL, but it still had it showing for some reason. But for others it seems to work.
Brilliant, I used this to disable the Orbx london city landmarks (which works perfectly well but seemed to be hitting FPS pretty badly).
To force 2020 marketplace items over, streamed and not be able to disable them at this time is a horrid decision. I’m pretty sure this is why activating packages takes ages (I have 37 forced over that I’d rather not have and load in a sensible time). Unfortunately the empty folder trick doesn’t solve the load times it seems.
Yeah, it probably won’t as it still streams the package even if it’s not going to use it. But at least they aren’t breaking the sim any more once they’re blocked.
Totally agree that in the interest of this finding they should accellerate the marketplace update so things can really be selected. What’s unfortunate is that there’s still a chicken-and-egg issue; some of these mods block load (perhaps a good chunk of ‘stuck at 97%’?) so you can’t get to the menu to deselect the package at that level……
Yep, should be an opt in per add on “at your own risk” at worst. And a way to then remove that outside of the sim if it causes a problem. You know, much like the tried and tested way in the sim they’ve developed for 4 years!
The problem with streaming I guess, will probably need a separate utility to tell it what to try and “activate” pre load which won’t be coming. Poor decision making imo. As much as they promised 2020 compatibility, they also promised a playable sim and boasted shorter load times.
I just want to play vanilla 2024… I still have 2020 installed for airliner flights as I knew it would be time before PMDG, Fenix, GSX, AIG/FSLTL models would be ready.
Broken by design? Soon doesn’t help. Sorry. But I knew this would be the answer.
You don’t need to remove it. Simply copy the folder name from:
...\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\StreamedPackages
Next, go to:
...\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community
Create an empty folder with the exact name you copied earlier. That’s all, restart the game.
I have the MS Store version.
You can’t remove the one in streamed. It will always recreate it. It’s the empty folder in Community that you need.
Dude that worked like magic! good job!! 
for some reason the folder on my machine is “C:\Users\XXX\Documents\My Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\StreamedPackages” ?
Did you buy from Steam or Microsoft Store?
the Store version. In the folder you mentioned, there’s nothing there, neither
C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\Packages\Community
nore
C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community
which strangely both exists? Also some content for axample “aerosoft-airport-eddh” are being loaded but don’t exist in neither of the folders.
No ideas on that one. I presume for them to populate you need to at least get to “stuck at 98%” but I haven’t run into the “folder created but nothing in it” condition myself so don’t have much to offer.
found the “issue”, since i installed the game on a different drive the markeplace addon-scenery was located at:
D:\WpSystem\S-1-5-21-3595843323-652497058-3541312711-1001\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\StreamedPackages
you rock man! Asobo/microsoft plz fix this.
@Gorony
Thanks for pointing the way to disable streamed content. I disabled all of what it has carried over from my 2020 purchases including what it calls Inibuilds EGKK (Origami?) but I now only have a partially complete EGKK rather than a no building EGKK. Quite a few buildings still missing.
@Gorony thanks a lot, solved 2 problems so far.
Anyone figured out how to disable EDDF? Premium Deluxe version is deactivated, but according to the library there is still a Gaya version installed.
