  1. Hi everyone so I’ve been playing the simulator since it came out and the other day I went to run the mandatory update that we all have to install. The problem is it starts the update and after 1 or 2 percent it gets hung up during when it says it is decompressing a certain file and never continues and now I can’t play the game. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, I have tried a completely different ssd drive with a fresh windows install and it still gets stuck when it reaches the point that it says it is decompressing. Why? Thank you

     

    It's been doing that to me for the last couple of updates too. Just abort the update and then restart it. Then it will update the problem file. I had to do this up to 10 times. It usally happens on aircraft. You can also delete the problem aircraft if you see it's name. I make changes to aircraft cfg files, and I think this may be the problem. Don't give up. Eventually it will finish the update!

  2. Those missing airports have been reported to Zendesk in this thread: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/missing-airports-sent-to-zendesk/165814 You can also vote on the thread to get this fixed by Asobo asap.

     

    Ok. Thanks for telling me. At least I know it's not something I'm doing wrong. Unfortunately, I can't vote because I've never been able to register on that site. Quite a few other people can't either.

     

    I looked at the whole post, and I can't believe how many airports are missing. You would think there was a database somewhere that Asobo could use to get them all. Pretty weak. I noticed in French Polynesia that when I got to some locations where there were supposed to be airports, there were just trees. I'm using msfs2020vfr map to find them. How come they're on openstreetmap, but not msfs?

  3. Which airplanes and perhaps a couple examples of missing airport codes you're using could be helpful.

     

    I'm flying in French Polynesia. There are many airports that start with NTG. Some I can enter, and some I can't. For instance, I can enter NTGR and NTGM,

    but I can't enter NTGS and NTGE, even though the airports exist. I'm flying the Beech Baron and the 787. With the Beach Baron, when you turn the knob, it just skips over the letters you can't enter. With the 787 it says "not in database ".

  4. Found this for you " If you receive the message "Purchase pending" on Steam after clicking ... Please also ensure that Steam Overlay is enabled in both the Steam setting and the game's properties and that the default shortcut keys do not conflict with in-game keybinding"

     

    I use MS Store so not that helpful... quick question are you using the built in marketplace in MSFS, because that should not be a problem.....

     

    Yes and I have enabled steam overlays.
