ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue: After trying to update the Grumman Albatross in the library on 2025-08-25 the download hangs.

Cancelling, uninstalling and trying again don’t help. Why? Because the download (fs24-microsoft-aircraft-grumman-albatross-2.2.1.1.part) will contain this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Error><Code>BlobNotFound</Code><Message>The specified blob does not exist.
RequestId:de6e1ae7-301e-0037-39f9-15482d000000
Time:2025-08-25T19:51:18.0952076Z</Message></Error>

This means that there are two problems:

  • Content that is advertised is not actually available for download. Error in the deployment pipeline?
  • There is no error handling for MSFS to detect an issue and notify the user.

I figure this file will be available soon, but it’s still another unreliable part that was introduced with SU3 and never stabilized.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

Always (today).

REPRODUCTION STEPS

I am having the exact same issue. The G-111 is the only asset I can download that I have not. I’m sure it won’t really matter, but I would like to have the ability to download the plane I should have access to.

@bezierspline @CiRyX MS is aware of this issue and a fix is on the way, hopefully very soon. I will post again when it has been resolved.

Cheers.

@bezierspline @CiRyX The Albatross is now downloadable in the 2024 library. It’s ~ 5 GB.

Cheers.

I can confirm that it’s downloading now. Still, error handling should be improved.
