ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue: Right now, the downloading process takes way too long and there are too many hangups (glitches, CTD’s) to make it worth your while. (your result may vary, but good luck with that). Downloading updated content (1.5.7 from 1.5.4) took several hours, and despite multiple attempts, was ultimately unsuccessful. I uninstalled all the downloaded content. The download process for FS2020 is wonky enough, this is far worse. And I have a 4 TB M2 NVME installed for this purpose, so capacity is not an issue. I like the concept, and I think it will enhance the experience eventually, but there needs to be a more efficient and effective download and install mechanism. I have spent many hours installing and zero flight time since 1.5.4. Please save yourself a headache and just stream for now. (BTW, the pic I included was just showing the wheel of progress, which then becomes the wheel of death because that becomes the only thing that moves in the sim.
