Sim update 5 stalling at "Decompressing asobo-airport-lfpg-paris-charles-de-gaulle-0.1.56.fspatch"

Hi guys,

I am looking for some help please.

On 27/7/21 at 16:00 BST I began to download sim update 5. After downloading the first 10Gb of content the update stopped on “Decompressing asobo-airport-lfpg-paris-charles-de-gaulle-0.1.56.fspatch”. (See picture).

Now I know that the downloader has not crashed as the three dots after fspatch keep going from one to three and repeating. Also, the task manager shows that the program is running and responding as expected.

After numerous PC and downloader restarts the download doesnt continue. The download starts at “Decompressing asobo-airport-lfpg-paris-charles-de-gaulle-0.1.56.fspatch” bvut never progresses. Not even 1 Kb gets downloaded.

After multiple failures I decided to completely remove the game from my system and re-install. After installing the content of my 10 disks I then loaded up the downloader. Now the download here was considerably larger (130 Gb is) as I had ther sim update and the premium delux content to download.

Again, the fist 30 Gb or so downloaded finje but the process again stalled at “Decompressing asobo-airport-lfpg-paris-charles-de-gaulle-0.1.56.fspatch”. (see picture).

Please help me. I love this game (flaws and all) and cant wait to get flying again but sadly I fear that I may be one of the people who tell stories of never being succesfull in getting it downloaded.

Had same problem, different file

Try and go to Official/onestore

Thanks HansB. I was stuck for hours, and your suggestion fixed it.

I have the same problem but I can’t fix it…
When it comes to “asobo-airport-lxgb-gibraltar-0.1.53.fspatch” the installer tries to restart from decompressing “asobo-airport-lxgb-gibraltar-0.1.48.fspackage”.
After days of trying it’s frustrating.

I’m having the same symptoms, installer gets to a certain file and then loops back and reinstalls…decompresses same file…install won’t go any further. I’ve tried your recommended fix but without success.

I managed to solve by creating a special folder for the update in another disk

Hi. I am reading this topic having the same issue while reinstalling the game. Nothing has fixed it so far…
