SU3 beta 1.5.1 keeps activating / deactivating marketplace content

Issue still exists in 1.5.9.

This Issue which has amassed 52 votes remains unaddressed since the initial beta 3 in mid May, and following 6 beta builds.

Hopefully all is well at Asobo.

I can enable 2020 aircraft, like the Beech 18 for example, and they will show up in the session, but when I close the sim and restart they are back to disabled state.

This is really annoying, especially considering the number of 2020 aircraft you may want to enable.

I know it’s a beta, but can someone please be assigned to basic QA.

There is a workaround, but its nothing for those who will change their packages frequently…

There is a 2nd Content.xml file within this folder:


"C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\<PlayerName>\

In this Content.xml file, set your package status to the status you want (“Activated”, “UserDisabled”)
like this

<Package name="fs24-asobo-airport-wx53-bugalaga" active="UserDisabled"/>
<Package name="fs24-asobo-airport-yssy-sydney" active="UserDisabled"/>
<Package name="fs24-asobo-apron-control-services" active="Activated"/>

Once you’re done, save the file and the file to “read-only” in the file properties.

As it cant be written anymore, nothing else will be activated… but be aware, removing or adding packages e.g. from the communityfolder might result in CTD as it cant be written anymore… so when changeing packages by dropping in or out of the communityfolder you need to adjust the content.xml file by yourself.

Somebody needs to make a Content Manager for MSFS 2024 that will avoid these ridiculous bugs and have a much better UI than the sim.
