If you want to get rid of the annoying video every time you start the game, you have two choices. You can find the video file called “PressStartVideo-4K.mp4” and delete it.
The downside of that is you don’t get the loading progress bar. So, I created a black video file of the same length as the original one that you can replace the file with. It will just give you a black screen you can look at and you will still see the progress bar. I didn’t want to create a fake FS 2024 logo because that may create a copyright issue for MS.
Here is a Dropbox link to my blank video:

Where the file is on some people computer it is in:
XboxGames\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\Content\Packages\fs-base-videos\Videos
Or
Your install location + Limitless\Content\Packages\fs-base-videos
On steam systems it maybe in a different location but it will look something like the above folder structure.
I would rename the existing file prior to placing this file in the directory.
I am sure this file will be replaced with patches and updates to the game so you may want to keep a copy around.
