  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Just making sure...

SOH-CM-2023
I am not able to complete the download from the Microsoft Store, an error code pops up at 100% download, showing only 12gb (of 50) downloaded, the error message saying " something went wrong on our end" and " can't install this app through the MS Store. Check with the app publisher" now I can't get into the MSFS zendesk as it's offline (404 code). Yet MSFS2020 is running perfectly, so I have to assume that the store is fine, the issue is still with the servers at their end? I just want to confirm and maybe see if anyone is in the same situation. Should I wait, delete all msfs2024 related files and retry...or just keep patient for a few more days? Thoughts?
 
I would suggest deleting the attempted install, making sure you have enough disk space, and then trying:
1) Make sure the Xbox app is installed. Run it and then exit (just to see if it triggers any updates)
2) Go to the Microsoft Store app, choose the Downloads button on the left, and Get Updates/Update All
3) Go back into the Xbox app and install MSFS 2024 from there. If you have a second SSD, try installing on a different drive.

I don't think there are server problems with the download, so I'd go ahead and troubleshoot vs waiting.
 
Denny, I'm now downloading from the Xbox app. I'll let you know how it goes, thanks for the advice.
