It just happened to me again, and I switched origin airports and then it worked. Prob. just server congestion.
ItĀ“s back again here in Germany. Very annoying bug this is!!

Is SU2 going to help with this? Was able to get in late on sunday, and late on monday. Tried this morning and it just spins.
I am on SU1 I am also not able to start a flight. Itās loading endless with the turning circle ā¦
Ofc I have the same problem as others 4080s 7800x3d and 1GB internet so my specs are not the problem. This is absolutely unacceptable. The Core of the game is not working. Asking 69.99 for a beta test is outrages. Fu Asobo
Same as everyone else.
I just uninstalled EVERYTHING, even cleaned the registry of any traces of MSFS, deleted ALL my community folder content, including the files needed for my Bravo quadrant and Logitech Radio.
Even after a fresh install and an empty community folder, the Sim just hangs when attempting to zoom in for either a āFly Nowā or a planned flight. I can just ESC to get back to the menu.
The strange thing, and this might be a clue for my problem, if I select to start, not at an airport, but in the air, no problem, works. If I select a ā ā ā ā ā ā airport, like in the middle of nowhere, most of the times no problems either. I even tried to stop the Stream of airport enhancements from the store.
Any ideas what else should I try?
I have a 14900K, 98 gigs DDR5, 4090. My internet is a 2.5 Gig fiber. Latest Nvidia drivers (tried both, game/Studio)
Itās reassuring to read that Iām not the only one with this problem. Iām from Germany.
Sim flying is my biggest hobby on the PC, and I canāt even put into words how this disregard for the (expensive) paying customers drives me crazy.
Iām now 100% certain that the simulatorās release was deliberately pushed forward in a disastrous state for financial reasons, and now users have to pay the price.
Iām also certain that the entire server infrastructure in the background was only tested to the bare minimum to ensure that the switch from local installation to streaming works.
The Microsoft brand has now raised a red flag for me when it comes to gaming, and Iād rather invest more of my valuable time in configuring DCS. I donāt have a Cessna 172 there, but at least I can fly.
Since SU1, I often get stuck at loading like that. Usually with airports in denser scenery.
There are now two was that enable me to always spawn into the game and work around the error:
-
Set GFX levels to minumum, then spwan into the airplane and the increase GFX level while in game. In my case, I max it out all the way and it works like that.
-
As other posters suggested, I can also spawn into the plane by selecting a spawnpoint, then zoom all the way out until it wounāt go further (the entige globe is visible then) and then press the yellow button to enter the flight. Needless to say, it is the more convenient way of doing it and so far it always worked. It also worked after getting stuck, hitting āEscā, then zoom out all the way and clicking the yellow button again.

I can confirm, that the second method worked for me. Thank you! What a silly bugā¦
Cannot spawn at all since the City Update 10, it just loads foreverā¦ none of the workarounds seem to work.

yes
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Iāve only managed to load into the actual flight once today, despite trying several times, and over a period of several hours. So far on this try itās been fifteen minutes and still not loaded in.

I have the same issue. Specifically with the ATP checkride. I cannot do the ATP checkride because the sim never loads (I believe itās KSEA). I left it for an hour and it never loaded, just stayed on the load screen with the spinning circle the whole time. This is on FS2024, PC, steam, SU1, nvidia rtx4070 ti super, SSD, 32gb ram, PC on ethernet, 1000/1000 mbit symmetric fiber connection. It also seems to happen more or less at random depending on the airport. When picking missions for career itās blind luck whether or not the sim will actually load. If it fails to load, I force quit, and try again with the same mission it hangs again ā always repeatable.
Set the Terrain LOD to something really low like 10 then load in then bring the Terrain LOD back up to what you normally use. This bug is fixed in the SU2 Beta.

Hmm I tried lowering the terrain LOD but didnāt try setting it to min. Thanks for the suggestion!
ā¦and it is back in SU2 Releaseā¦

ā¢I have same issue: āStart Flightā load wheel spins but nothing happens. This is a recent problem as the Sim was working fine until recently.
Also freezes on āQuit To Desktopā and I have to shutdown via task manager.
Anybody got a solution?
