JSkorna Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 You can't. It's a mandatory update. http://www.air-source.us/images/sigs/000219_195_jimskorna.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAXsenna Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Strange. Steam showed an update, did it. 300 Megs. Started MSFS no issues, first 40Gigs update, then 20 something and then 20 something through the marketplace. Where does your stop?

collltip Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 Today it stops with less than 1 gig downloaded.It is downloading Airbus livery over and over again.I got download speed of 300 Mbs just to run MSFS.Seems I wasted my time.I think the designers must all be on heroin.

tiger1962 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Try a Network reset, I had the same problem and it worked for me. Go to Start - Settings - Network & Internet - Status page, and at the bottom of the page click on Network reset in blue. Once it's finished, restart your PC.

collltip Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 Thanks.I will give it a try.Given the huge number of people who have managed to download it but get loads of CTDs I think they should issue an update to allow sim to start as in pre latest update until they get things sorted.What should I see in progress bars at bottom of screen when trying to download update?Mine is just gibberish.

You should see the download speed in megabytes per second (mbps), then the download size in gigabytes (gib) and finally the filename current being downloaded.

plainsman Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Mine loaded without a hassle. I then flew from KPHG to KFMZ without any CTDs?

Energizer23 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I had to stop the update twice. It would get stuck on a file. It would pick up where it stopped and worked out fine.

Amen. This update is a total disaster. In effect, I no longer have a working flight simulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
collltip Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 I can not see how to attach screen shot,but 2hours ago,reading left to right,I had (5/252) (39Mbits)88% Downloading asobo-aircraft-da62 livery...and on rhs 108 MiB/32.51GiB.The 108 switches to 104 and back every 2 seconds.I let this run for 2hours,then switch of the sim and back on and restart the update.The figures are then (7/248),the file is the Baron livery,and on rhs 1.90GiB/32.42GiB.The progress bar has moved to 6%.The 1.90GiB flicks from this to 1.88GiB every two secs as it downloads and decompresses the baron livery over and over again.I left it downloading overnight two days ago,and it was still downloading liveries.Surely new liveries do not take that long to download.

collltip Posted July 30, 2021 Author Share Posted July 30, 2021 .Nothing changed for a couple of hours after todays patch was released,but then the download began to work and I had a short flight.My blood pressure is getting back to normal.
