How to download and install the current mfs version only, without d/l all the ingame updates again?

hi,
on my side there wasnt an update possible. it says repair…
how can i just d/l and install the main prog only?
when i try that, it says that i dont have enough space on HDD.
And i have currently an bad i-net bandwidth, so i wont delete the whole thing and d/l the 90Gigs ingame again.
Also i dont have spare space on an different SSD!

How to manage that?
have the gamepass version!

Hi there!
I’ve moved your topic into the help section: #bugs-and-issues:performance This is also for installation help.

This works for the microsoft store version. I dont no if it works for the gamepass version.

Copy your 2020_package directory (that contains the 90 GB or more) to a extern drive or USB. Uninstall msfs
Install Msfs again. It only downloads 1 GB.
Copy back your package directory
Start MSFS
Make sure you point the package_installer to your copy package directory.

Good luck

…thanks for fast reply!

i already know this method…but i dont have an separate usb drive atm -.-

but there was another one, which i cant find right now, without moving to another drive.
by simply moving to another folder…

the issue is, that the installer from the main 1.03GB app tells me that my drive is full.

there was an workaround…

Maybe you can try rename the package folder? and then a reinstall? and rename back?
