I eventually managed to get in on Xbox on Friday and it’s been fine since. Yesterday I thought I would give the pc version a go and it gets stuck at 97%. Both on same wired network and same account so don’t know if pc and Xbox connect through different servers or it’s the pc configuration causing issues (this is a fresh install with no add-ons).
Would like to get the pc version running at some time to try out VR.
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. 
- Open directory
C:\Users\fly\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState
- Open file in this directory
Report-loading.toml(can use notepad) - Search for
FlightSimulator_Packages(around line 89 for me) - Delete every line above and including this one.
- Search for
FlightSimulator_PublishingGroups. - Delete every line below and including this one.
- Now you have a list of
packages-names=1. - Search and replace to remove
=1on every line. - Delete all of the lines that start with
asoboormicrosoft, it’s alpabetical order so very easy. - Edit every line to add the prefix
mkdir, ie. with the space. - Copy this line to the very top:
cd C:\Users\fly\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community
- Save the file anywhere, and make sure you add a
.batextension on the name you choose. - Double click.
- 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...

It was so easy! I bet you feel really dumb now for not figuring THAT out in less than 5 days! 
OMG…
So happy you can now start to find the real bugs!!!
Welcome in!
Obviously I’m only joking. Apart from about the bugs. Well done for figuring it out!

You mean like this
or this
I’m actually still trying to find something that works.
Anyway I’m not taking credit for the workaround, it was the linked poster that figured it out.

I knew it was caused by invalid packages from 2020. Great job my friend!
I played more with my list and narrowed it down to single one.
flytampa-corfu-airport - This one caused issues for me.
Anyways this should be QA tested with all the packages before release.

I have that one, I’ll check it to see if that’s the only one I have issues with.
Great work mate! That’s the one, if I just override that one in the community folder to disable the streamed package then everything else loads normally and works.
@moderators MS need to pull flytampa-corfu-airport from the library ASAP as it’s broken and causing many people to be stuck on loading at 97% for 4 days already. This one should have been caught in testing and never let out for MSFS 2024.
I’m not saying it’s the only one, but it’s the only one I have that’s broken. Maybe others will find more.

There’s the problem, you need to create the empty directories in the community folder to disable the streamed addons. If you have flytampa corfu then start with that one…
My workaround:
The main Problem are addons from MSFS2020, for me “Bredok3D-a320-liveries” and others.
Copy these addons from “LocalState\StreamedPackages.…” in "LocalCache\Packages\Community". Delete in Comunity in the files the data,
in Content delete also the data. Start MSFS2024, you can fly.
This was such a complete failed and braindead decision from MS and Asobo to port all bought addons from marketplace of 2020 to 2024 without any compatibility check… this cause so much trouble and pain.

So there’s a Log now, but it doesn’t tell you what file it failed on loading? I mean it MUST know. What’s the point of having the Log then? Looks like Asobo really didn’t implement anything they should have learnt from.

Hello @RagingWombat839,
Pinging @moderators doesn’t ping anyone. 
However, coming across your post and another member sent us a DM, I have brought this up.
In the future, you can send a direct message addressed to @moderators (this not only goes to moderators, but also the Community Managers)
Thank you for your find!

I juste have some airports and aircraft… I have to create empty file with their names?
I tried this morning but it doesn’t work… then I reinitialized my computer, I haven’t MSFS2020 files anymore.
I load the game to 98% and have this message “unusually loading”
Check through the various files in the Report-loading.toml file, as above, the troublesome files (if there are any ) can usually be found from line 89. Notepad++ has a line counter when you open the file which makes it a bit easier. If you see a scenery or aircraft or anything that you may or you may not have in your community or packages/official folder, then that could be the problem file, make a blank folder with it’s name and pop it into the community folder.
The fact you are still getting the 98% really does suggest that you have something trying to load that it doesn’t like.

Xbox X. I have also stuck at 97% with flytampa’s Corfu scenery streamed. (And many others) I think that asobo must delete all the content at this time, and when market place is back then give us the option to install and test one by one any add on we want

Guy… You saved my life ! Amazing, it works ! Ho god…
I can’t imagine Asobo didn’t detect this issue… It’s not logic but it works !
Thanks a lot !
