Yeah, its the same here
 I’ve just stopped.
This HAS to be a failed patch from Asobo, which they must likely are working on fixing.
So i’m just going to wait.
Probably wasted my 7 day free trial of OnAir


Soooo sad

I did a couple of flights from cold/dark to landing/shutdown last night and I didn’t experience any features or functions that weren’t working, but that doesn’t mean some aren’t broken. I just didn’t find them myself, so I can’t confirm. Not yet anyway. Maybe next flight?

Performance-wise, I’m seeing an improvement, especially with the stuttering that comes with loading scenery data, which is practically nonexistent now. I do still see it happening some, but the effect on fps is very mild compared to before. Other than that, my overall fps seems to be about the same, maybe just a little bit higher, but not having those annoying periods of hitching/pausing/stuttering is a welcome change. :slight_smile:

I am having the same looping download problem with the 1.8 update. I have made an interesting observation that I haven’t read about on the forums.

If you rapidly click resume and pause wait a second and quickly click resume and pause again and again you can inch your way through these large files without disconnecting or starting over.

Hopefully that will give someone a clue how to do a local fix.

Anyway
 I have the full install to work through and certainly don’t have time to click through 110+ GB so files. I hope this clue helps someone figure out a fix because obviously the Dev’s don’t seem motivated to fix this fast!

I bought the game from Steam. Is there any way to also activate it in Microsoft Store?

Weather much improved here, too. Flying the A320 from Atlanta to Dallas, following MSFS with the Enhanced Satellite overlay on ForeFlight. It’s pretty close, and accurate winds aloft at FL310. Some real traffic, too, although not nearly as much as ADS-B depicts.

This thing has potential! Let’s hope Asobo can sort it out for everyone.

This is only possible on 6th gen non-k, and only on specific motherboards. 7th gen wont work because they are not supported on the old beta bios that you need for Z170 to BCLK overclock skylake. When updating BIOS to be compatible with 7th gen it removes the beta function.

Truly horrible, now will have to download 63GBs again which is gonna take i assume 40 hours, and add to that the fact that the GPU will have to run at 100 percent for 40 ■■■■ hours all while consuming massive electricity. What a ■■■■ show.

LOL the patch deleted 63 GBs of my packages.

When the initial download of 15 or so GBs failed, I made the mistake of verifying files in Steam. This caused all packages to be deleted and forced a full re-install. I had no problems with the installation at initial release and have been flying for 80 hours or so with pretty good results in the small planes!

Now I have almost 100 GBs left to download and no real end in sight! The installation package is cycling over and over on a large file. I’ll probably just shut it down and wait for a solution I haven’t tried yet.

This patch saved it for me. Previously because of my system (i5 4670K @ 4.4Ghz, 32GB DDR3 @ 2000Mhz, 1660 Super) it was unplayable. Now it is amazing. Well done. GA aircraft 40 - 50 fps generally then about 25fps over cities. High End settings! Airliners about 25 fps were before it was a slideshow. Great job.

Same here. No issues during the first launch installation. And for this patch, here we are. Except, I didn’t verify the files manually, it must have auto done it or something. And to think that they actually had the last patch to solve the installation issues LMAO.

Hello, folks.
For me the update process worked.
It take long time, but i have a slow internet connection.

The adjustment screen of the joystick sensetivity don’t work or display.

Also the call sign safe of the A320 don’t work.
Have to put in every flight.

The next thing is

I have a Call Sign “BW” Flight No. “1977”
The ATC spokes it “BW(doubleU) 1977” in my opinion the ATC have to call me “BravoWiskey1977”.

Can You confirm that?

The bush flight i testet is not safed after landing the desired Airport.

I got no Time to test more things.

Sorry for my bad english

Going by your image, “Default” is expanded, showing the single “default” option, and an up arrow to collapse it.

“external” has a down arrow, meaning it should expand. Just click on that down arrow to expand its contents.

I had the same problem and was desperate. Your solution works great. Thank you so much for sharing.

Yes. I think you have to download the new installer from the store which will launch the patch update in the game. It happened both patches.

:rofl: you made me laugh man! :grin:
