Fs-base-cgl-0.1.21.fspackage.001 & fs-base-cgl-0.1.30.fspatch.002 download Bug

My copy of MS flight simulator is stuck at 59.74 GB download ( balance) at fs-base-cgl-0.1.21.fspackage.001 file since last 3 days. The download comes to 1 % (sharing a screenshot) and then goes back to zero %age download. I have been checking internet usage: about 9 GB in 5 hours when only MS Flight Simulator Game Client (had closed all other services).

I have deleted last four downloaded folder, reinstalled Game Service (PowerShell), ran installation in admin, ‘Command Prompt’ ran netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal and DISM.exe, have uninstalled Microsoft Flight Simulator and then reinstalled it and also spoken to MS Xbox Specialist three times without any useful outcome.

Additional information:- There is no fs-base-cgl-0.1.21.fspackage file in official - > OneStore folder, therefore cannot delete it. Many a times while loading MS Flight Simulator; Simulator Menu is loaded ( screenshot shared), with a few features functional and many non-functional menu.


ScreenShot of Bush flying activity… that takes me to cockpit also

And I have sufficient space in the drive where I am loading SM FLight Simulator & there are no bad clusters.

Nothing here also… there is no solution as of now.
EVEN Microsoft (& the MSFS team) cant solve this basic problem of download.
And I have given up on MSFS 2020 as they have taken payment and failed to deliver goods.
I guess they don’t even listen to their customers

Background

  1. I had purchased a Pre-Order copy of MS flight Simulator via MS store,
  2. Since 18 Aug (date of release of MS flight simulator), i have been trying to download MS flight simulator via Game client.
  3. And i have not been able to download the Flight Simulator fully, for which i have already had contacted xbox specialist.
  4. Plus I have taken steps to resolve the issues.

Troubleshooting: I have done following, with no joy -

  1. Shutdown and restarted the game client,
  2. Restarting my computer,
  3. Ran ‘Command Prompt’ as administrator and Entered : netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal and reboot your computer,
  4. check for any broken files - Ran ‘Command Prompt’ as administrator and Entered :DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth and sfc /scannow and restarted,
  5. Have reinstalled game service.
  6. Have disabled my firewall,
  7. have connected my router directly with my computer via wire also.
  8. changed my MS flight download path,
  9. have deleted last 4 folders down loaded.
  10. Internet connection - my internet speed ranges between 20 Mbs to 2 Mbs… ( have downloaded about 18 GB of data on Steam serives in about 4 hours)… and about 20 GB was wasted by MS Flight Simulator Game client today only ( without any out come, as the download was stuch at “fs-base-cgl-0.1.21.fspackage.001” file ), had kept a dedicated interent link for download.
  11. Have changed my internet connection also. (I have speed at 25 MBPS)
  12. have updated my windows…again and again.
  13. I have RE-Installed the MS Flight Simulator two time more than the original one ( clean install) … and i am back where I started from,
  14. Have contacted Xbox support Six times (including specialist) but to no workable solution ( only solution that is being given is via internet search)
  15. Have Installed and reinstalled X-Box beta app
  16. Have asked for a Retail Disc version of MSFS ( refused by them)
  17. & Have asked for a refund ( refused by them)
  18. Have tried to install on my 2nd PC, however over there MS store asks for buying it again
  19. Have done a clean installation with latest Patch PATCH VERSION 1.7.14.0 (i.e. 02 Sep 2020 one), now its stuck at 75.05 GB


This is what I am getting now :rage: after updating to the PATCH VERSION 1.7.14.0 and a clean installation

Additional information for troubleshooting-

  1. I have about sufficient space in the drive I am downloading my copy of flight simulator,
  2. I had removed all attached devices attached and tried…
  3. In the download folder… there are two sub folders (i) Community (ii) Official… and “official” folder has “onestore” folder… and onestore folder has about 121 folders ( earlier at FS-base-cgl-0.1.21.fspackage.001)
  4. I have Windows 10 Version 2004

There is no real fix and I doubt they will patch it anytime soon, download it via torrent and copy over the packages, once again proving that pirates have a better experience than paying customers, whoever wrote the content manager needs to be fired.

I’m stucking at fs-base-cgl-0-1-21-fspackage-006 for few days also. Su-ck Microsoft and FS Team.

I bought a brand new computer for the FS on 30 Aug, and still cannot complete the download for 10 days.

Another forum user has had d/l problems that were able to be fixed using a DNS server change on their PC, more information in this thread.

It may be worth a shot.

Another user also was able to fix their issue by changing a setting in their router called “Media Prioritization”, more details in this post.

I hope you get the issue resolved soon!

none of that works buddy … I can’t believe that at this point! It is not possible to install an executor normally without doing so many tricks and changes, if several users have problems with the same file in different parts of the world and the download is restarted when reaching X percentage! Do you think it is a dns problem or a problem with their servers? in my case I have used 3 different PC dns vpn and 2 different ADSL connections, more than 7 re-installations and it generates the same error in the same file (generates loop) in its first update they announced that they were going to correct the file in loop fs base 0.1 .59! 4 days after one month of launch and NOTHING THAT CAN BE INSTALLED

I am also stuck on this file, and also specifically at 574.11Mb, it seems to get stuck there every time.

Do you happen to be in latin america?

It’s been one full month since 18 Aug 2020 release of MS Flight Simulator 2020 And Microsoft & Asobo Studio team still have not able to so anything except for advertising glitter with no substance.

I had asked for immigration to Steam version; their reply NO… asked for Retail DVD version; their reply NO… and finally asked for …


Email refusing a refund

Have been in a constant engagement with the Microsoft & Asobo Studio team… but no solution… except for “try this. it can work” … “try that, that sometimes work “… ask something simple they don’t get back. I as a customer wanted to simply use MS flight Simulator 2020; however, I ended up doing troubleshoot as a tech for them :rage:.

My experience with new Patch Version 1.8.3.0 (Sept 2020) as follows - :poop: :poop: :poop:

First attempt : - I applied for the Patch Version 1.8.3.0 update for my installer … however, there has been

  • The download is slow like before (and it’s from Microsoft & Asobo Studio ~ MS Flight Simulator Site)
  • And my Download again got stuck.

Second attempt – I then uninstalled and deleted all the files in “users//Appdata/local/packages/Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe” and started afresh (as guided in one of the “you can try this”)

  • Slow download again,
  • It got stuck after downloading 8 odd GB (fresh installation from zero. 102.82 GB)

Third attempt – I had got hold of a steam version of MS FS 2020. (Has requested help from Xbox tech specialist. However, after three emails even their internal technical team yet to update the Xbox tech specialist.) I copied the content of Official\Steam to my installation folder << Official…>> but the quality of MS FS 2020 game client ( or patch still) has again got stuck

  • After downloading fs-base-cgl-0.1.30.fspatch.001( took one full day for 1.8 GB download), the download is now stuck at fs-base-cgl-0.1.30.fspatch.002

  • Have even tried Netlimiter 4 and set the up & down limit to 2MB/s for flightsimulator.exe… still same


This is from where it starts to loop… 22 % to Zeroooo %

No, Its happening across the global.

Similar problem for 3 days now but not exactly the same. Stuck at “Decompressing…” instead of Downloading.
No amount of restarts and Run as Admin or search the web or Forums is helping.
My only option seems to try to uninstall and delete to restart, but I bought the Deluxe Premium, that’S 112GB of download!!! Imagine if 90GB (most common download) is causing so many issues, would I run the risk of restarting from scratch after a full day’s-worth of download already?

All we need is a proper level3 support, someone who worked on the Installation process to guide us surgically into what files to delete and workaround the installation manager hang-ups!!!

Frustrating for the support quality we are getting vs the price paid for this game! UNACCEPTABLE!

I have the solution finally for this. Use a VPN it seems to solve the issue.

going to try this, ill come back with the results!

um but what is vpn…sorry in advance for being dumb

Nothing to apologise for.

Think of it this way. If you stand at one end a long tunnel, you can’t see anything about the people at the other end. (Their location, who they are, what they are etc. are all hidden.) A VPN is essentially that but for a computer.

There is a serious bug when you try to download either fresh MSFS 2020 or an update patch.

:rage: :rage: Why would one need VPN or torrent or program like netlimiter while downloading a genuine product? :dizzy_face: :dizzy_face: :dizzy_face:

Using the original Microsoft and Asobo Studio MSFS 2020 client will result in numerous failed downloads. The X-box support team is not of much help here nor is MSFS 2020 team. Some say to shutdown your firewall, some will say disable your antivirus …… nothing useful happens

It took me more than a month to download it and the solution that I found was TORRENT (download the MSFS 2020 and then copy and paste it in your games client) and then for updates you will need to install netlimiter and wait for 4 to 5 days to complete the download.

I can play MSFS 2020 only for 2-3 days before another update patch is released and then again it takes me 4 to 5 days for download… this cycle is just :poop: :poop: :poop: :poop:

I did an experiment on the latest MSFS 2020 update patch Version 1.9.5.0…… I have been trying to download it and the download is stuck (looping) at 24 MB…. whereas the data consumed was 5.32 GB (for 24 MB downloaded) ……. And as the time progresses the data wasted will be exponentially. :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

Microsoft (X-box) and Asobo Studio need to solve this.
