Brief description of the issue:
All Australia Landing Challenges can only play first time after game start

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

Start game, start any landing challenge from Australia, play it, when I want to play it again via “Restart” the game hangs in the loading screen. All other landing challenges load after a restart as desired.

Build Version # when you first started experiencing this issue: 1.22.2.0 and 1.23.9.0

Next test, after an Australian landing challenge I tried to get back to the main menu

After 10minutes

With version 1.23.12.0 it seems to be fixed.

I hadn’t played FS2020 for a few months, then a couple days ago I fired it up and updated it and had this same exact problem along with some random CTDs, so I uninstalled the game entirely because I hadn’t managed my mods in all that time and figured it could use a clean slate.

So, spent the whole afternoon reinstalling because fs2020 takes forever for some reason. RDR2 a game just as big, doesn’t take NEAR as long. Anyway, that’s the least of my problems.

Reinstalled, clean, no mods, except for what I bought on Marketplace and that was only aircraft and the RENO addon.

So, right now I have a clean install + 5 aircraft off the market and the RENO Air Race addon.

I cannot load any of the Australian Landing Challenges. It’s the only problem I’m having with the game now.

I’m on PC - Windows 11
Core i7-11700F
32GB G.Skill Trident
RTX 3070
Game runs off a 1TB SSD.
32GB pagefile
Gigabit Internet

I can play in 4k, VR, etc, no problems. But if I load one of these challenges, it hangs about 3/4 way through the bar and sits there, no matter if I reboot the game, my PC or anything else.
