Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Content Manager

Badger Bravo · Aug 21, 2020

Can someone please tell me why Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 Content Manager is using 63% of my laptop's GPU?

My fans are going crazy. I've been downloading the whole day and it's not even half way downloaded.

Microsoft Flight Simulator is coming to the Xbox platform in 2020.

There's a nice video that explains how to do this here:

Keep in mind that if you have any spaces in your path you will need to add "" at the beginning and end. This is also explained in the video.

I had the same problem here, I found a solution.

I had already installed it on drive 2, so I had to find the place where the package was already before. I found this path

D: \ WpSystem \ "NUMBER" \ AppData \ Local \ Packages \ Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe \ LocalCache \ Packages

After selecting this path, the update returned to just 11 GB. Hope this helps.

That path in your post was exactly what I was looking for.

I had also installed FS 2020 on drive D. I used the Browse button in FS Installation Manager for the 1.9.3.0 patch to set the folder you specified to override the default that was pointing to a drive C User AppData subfolder.

It would have been nice if the Installation Manager would have defaulted to this folder where the FS 2020 packages are actually installed, but you have supplied the information to work around that deficiency.

Thank-you.
