Microsoft Flight Simulator Launcher FIXES
Game Downloading Slow / Stuck
This is an issue where the game skips the package installation process and goes to the loading process. I found this issue when selecting a custom install path for the game packages.
To fix:
Keep restarting until you see a button that says “update” you should now see a white progress bar that displays the percent and the current asset status.
Launcher stuck at “Please Wait…”
This is when your launcher is verifying the download.
To fix:
Delete your packages folder if you selected a custom install path, and/or delete C:\users\’USERNAME’\appdata\roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\, and uninstall and reinstall your game launcher via the steam right click context menu.
Exe Not Found
When the game was first launched it only shipped with a 256kb steam api .dll
To fix, verify integrity of game cache and redownload the launcher
