MSFS2020…I dont get it. I have had this since it came out. It has worked perfectly. I bought 2024 and deleted 2020 for disc space. 2020 takes up over 300 gig on my hard drive. I now know I didnt need to free up that space because 2024 is cloud based. I have PMDG planes and a couple others I have bought and want to fly. I cant do that in 2024. I also have XPlane and don’t want to delete and have to reinstall programs. This is complete bs from Microsoft. I bought 2020 and cant play it.
And yeah, I already know this isnt going anywhere. They got my money, for both sims. Paid 130 bucks for 2024, and still dont have my planes. I cant download 2020 so I can use them.
How are you going about installing FS2020.
Can you describe what is happening?
I am going to msstore where I bought it from. It does about a 6 hour download, then while decompressing it freezes up. If I stop and go back in, it will do 3 files and freeze again.
I would recommend you try installing from the Xbox app on your PC.
When the sim freezes on a file note the name of the file and stop the sim.
Find the file in the sim folders (probably will be in the Official One Store folder) and delete it.
Restart the sim.
Let us know how it goes!
I will try that. It stopped at KRVL Grifflin county. It would go only three files and freeze. I restart download, and it would go three files and freeze.
Problem is I deleted and am trying to do another install.
Right now it is frozen at [69/435]-Decompressing microsoft-airport-Iszh-1.0.1.fspackage
That shouldn’t make any difference.
Whatever it freezes on, delete and restart.
So, I need to be a computer guru and know how to go find a file and delete it, then restart my download? And then I need to keep doing it til I can get it downloaded? Not acceptable. I should be able to hit install and it install. I bought this program years ago. And oh, I am still stuck at 69/435.
I deleted the file. I restarted the download. I am now frozen at [3/367]-Decompressing microsoft-airport-Iszh-zurich-1.01.1.fspackage
I am still sitting at [3/367]. If I have to do this every time, its on microsoft. This is not something I should have to do to get their program, that I paid for, to work.
The issue is quite random, and hits some and not others.
There also are articles in the Support tab at the top of each forum page that you could go through, here are links to some:
I managed to get it installed. Now I am missing my profile and options tabs. When I click on them nothing comes up. And my planes are pink. If I try to start a flight, I CTD as soon as I hit fly.
