In the information screen for Automatic download of scenery and data it always says "Status: unable to start downloading", yet the KBytes processed go up, in the log there are messages (strangely enough most with "failed to sync" of "faild to get root fo repo" but also a lot of "sync taking a long time" followed by "HTTP request count:1") and scenery is actually being downloaded.
When I disable the automatic download/update it says "Status: Downloading disabled".
Why is the status always "unable to start downloading" when the automatic download is enabled?
And what do the messages in the log mean?
This is with FG 2017.2.1 on Windws 7 x64 but I've seen this is all previous versions.
