So okay i managed to went through 001-1035 error. I’m not sure which of my steps worked, and you need to be really careful then you proceed with that.
Error vanished after i removed CryptoPro application, and after that removed all certificates with C=RU in subject of certificate.
However this for sure break some resources for me. But MSFS is downloading now.

delete all these certificates to break the work with government websites… It’s a tough choice. it seems easier to put a second system

Guys, I did it too
Removed CryptoPro and certificates from the Windows registry

There is solution without deleting certificates. Change propeties like on the screen below.


If you will need this cert again just chage to allow.

Where are these settings?

Found. Doesn’t work for me ((

I also experience the same issue.
Deleting certificates or other apps not related to MSFS 2024 in order to play is unacceptable solution.
I bought the game via Steam yesterday and still cannot pass “Check your connection status” screen.
The game hangs on “Can’t connect to the servers”

Friends! The solution has been found. Detailed steps are described in this topic.
You need to not be lazy and read the topic.
Second. You need to identify certificates that interfere with the launch of the 2024 simulator and disable them.
Out of 33 certificates, I disabled only 7.
Good luck.

I disabled almost everything besides Microsoft, Adobe, etc., but it still doesn’t connect. I also tried different VPNs, with and without, but the result is the same.

Just to confirm solution.
In certmgr found all certificates published by my country (RS) and disabled them. You can keep fs2024 live while you are disabling them and the moment it register it will start downloading. Otherwise you probably missed one.
Just go trough each category and check if you missed some cert (if disabled intendent purpose will be “None” to make it easier)
