Wondering if connections are getting any better.
(Please only respond if you have a “yes”)
I Managed to fly once in 24 hours, but now its endless loadscreens again.
Is that positiv enough?

I was able to purchase and install Premium Deluxe on Steam this morning (6:30 EST) in under 10 minutes. Flew the C-172 around and did some takeoffs and landings using my TM Boeing yoke. Sim looks nice and plane flew great. I like the new trees and atmospheric lighting looks good. Overall, good first impression for me. It will take some time to get my controllers, views set up and assigned, etc.

Been seeing 100s of people on forums asking for there money back
I was only able to get in once last night. No successful attempts to get in this morning.
Edit: Spoke too soon was just able to get into the main menu.
Working great this morning for me in Portland Oregon, where Microsoft’s servers always connect fast. 
For those of you in places with bad connections to the CDN, you are probably still having a bad time.

anything positive…NO
I recon everything is just about in melt down. Chernobyl 
The reviews are brutal as well.
Worked fine(ish) from 09:00 GMT to 16:00 GMT and now it’s a spinning circle 
At least this looks OK:
I’ve spent a few hours in sim, and have had several amazing experiences. I landed on a mountain ridge and took a hike to a vista and watched a thunderstorm approach. Flew the OV-10 from AzurPoly which works perfectly in the new sim. Can’t get in so far this morning though, I get stuck on VFS Activating packages strangely.
I haven’t seen one good review from release. Plenty of reviews from weeks ago…. Think getting a copy of a £200 game, plus some other stuff helped the good reviews. Even the beta testers for 2024 say nothing they brought up as been fixed.
Was able to get on at 4:40 am MST and fly the vision jet from KMLF (Milford Utah) to U52 (Beaver, Utah). No problems at all. I’m at work now, and will try it again this afternoon.

Well during the time I got to fly it was quite nice. Schiphol looked great, traffic seemed to work fine for a moment, performance was really good (although panning caused a bit of loading stutters). Rotterdam looked good too, although that default airport hasn’t been touched much. It was nice to see some general aviation traffic too. I’ve also seen some cows.
Really, when it’s working you can see the step up it is, but all I can do now is long back to that moment when everything was right haha.

No issues loading and flying this morning. It took a while to figure out controls config so I can setup to my liking. And to remove all the annoying markers and tooltips. Flying the Beluga from Toulouse to Heathrow with simbrief imported flight plan and all.
Definitely some bugs (got a hang after pausing to config controls and return). But restarts have all worked well. And now I see my 2020 and my premium deluxe aircraft.

Was quite impressed between midnight and 2am last night, but today its been a mess. Low bandwidth messages (i have 900Mbps fibre), hangs, crashes, blocky terrain, bad textures.
Have just given up now, waste of power.

I actually havent had many issues. Havent had any problems connecting today (Florida). My biggest issue is changing all of the controls and key bindings to work for me. Taht and i cant get my purchased aircraft to import. Overall, not thoroughly impressed, vut there are some neat features, and it will get better as updates come out. Hang in there!
I had no problems getting in this morning (in Europe). Currently trying an evening session. The streaming was noticeably slower than optimal this morning, and I had some crashes, especially in VR. VR performance is much worse than 2020 for me unfortunately and I don’t like flat gaming anymore. (RTX3070, HP Reverb G2) I hope they can optimize it further. Been trying to dial it in, but no real luck so far. Also having problems with the in game menu and some other things.
At least the servers are responding now and letting me in. I just started the game again now no problem. So good work there Microsoft/Asobo!
20 of my 100+ aircraft have been imported. Most addon devs will be making you pay for updated craft it seems or not updating them for the sim at all.
I fly the mig-29 everyday in 2020, so Im most familiar with that crafts flight characteristics, in the sim now I need afterburner to maintain 500 knots, and the aircraft feels like the spoiler is deployed, like im dragging something creating huge drag. Most everything I’ve flown this morning has flown like hot garbage except the Draco, and Wilga from Got Friends. Looks like the only aircraft developer so far that actually tested their aircraft.
There are holes in the terrain, water that is paved like asphalt, places where you can see thru the planet. Canyon sides have open pixel leaks in lines, water still climbing the canyon walls, shore lines look like crayon drawing. The entire area looks far worse then 2020.
Nothing at all was tested in this sim.
There is no good story here, this game is NOT ready to release and my negative review will not change.

After 24 hrs, still stuck on loading screen. I paid € 200+ for this ■■■■. It’s a bloody disgrace.
