Stuck at 97%

This worked for me. I am a PC user with the Xbox app.

97% load problem

I followed the procedure here:

I ran the resulting batch file.

Copy/cut the empty folders that were generated on my Desktop.

Pasted the folders into the Community folder in the “limitless” path

(there was nothing in that community folder before this)

Started the game.

Detailed steps in the procedure:

So here’s the detailed method I used to fix my stuck at 97% after 4 days.

These paths are for the MS store/Xbox Store PC version. They will be different for steam, and I’m guessing any poor Xbox users that have incompatible addons are just stuck until MS actually fix it.

  1. Open directory

C:\Users\fly\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState

  1. Open file in this directory Report-loading.toml (can use notepad)
  2. Search for FlightSimulator_Packages(around line 89 for me)
  3. Delete every line above and including this one.
  4. Search for FlightSimulator_PublishingGroups.
  5. Delete every line below and including this one.
  6. Now you have a list of packages-names=1.
  7. Search and replace to remove =1 on every line.
  8. Delete all of the lines that start with asobo or microsoft, it’s alpabetical order so very easy.
  9. Edit every line to add the prefix mkdir , ie. with the space.
  10. Copy this line to the very top:

cd C:\Users\fly\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community

  1. Save the file anywhere, and make sure you add a .bat extension on the name you choose.
  2. Double click.
  3. That’s it, restart and play!

To be clear, the top of my 2024fail.bat file looks like this:

cd C:\Users\fly\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community

mkdir 4simmers-a310-1-livery-pack

mkdir antsairplanes-tiger-moth

mkdir blackboxsimulation-bn3-trislander

mkdir cowansim-cowansim500e

…etc…
