Hi!
Since I am using the Yoke from Thrustmaster, MSFS sometimes stuck when I want to load and spawn into a flight. Pls see my photos as attached.
Anyone else have the same issue? How can I solve it?
I tried to wait for 10 minutes but nothing happens
Thanks a lot
Yup, there’s like 10 or so threads now on update and blue bar hangups from the past 2 weeks or so.
If you open your xbox app click on your gamer tag and then support. Use the repair tool button.
If the button is gone and only has a support hyperlink, then reinstall the Xbox app(s)
On PC try deleting your XBox app, Xbox game services, Xbox live and reinstall the app. No big deal to delete them but you have to delete all three. Something is wrong with MS authentication structure. XBox has issues too. Can only imagine how many have already tortured themselves with needless re-installations.
Even when you fix it, it will eventually do it again.
I’ve been loading my goodies with add-on linker, but going to the xbox app, hitting repair and then starting from there every time now. Really stinks when it’s the blue bar you watch crawl ALLLL the way across when it’s bugged then the game just goes dead 0 no CPU use. At least the updates hangup is right in the begining if it takes more than 6-10 seconds, the MSFS session is dead.
I hope they resolve this problems with the XBox app and MS authentication ■■■■ in 2024. Sitting here with my whole (not really cheap equipment) and simply can do nothing at the moment. All tries of reparing, reinstalling hte XBox ■■■■ hadn’t solved the issue. Even in safe mode the sim stops in the loading screen. And yes, I’m one of those who did a fresh install as last option without success. Shame on you MS/Asobo. That problem persists since I started with MSFS 2020 and nothing was changed there yet. There are no excuses (and I know there are people who never ever had a single problem, but that’s no help for the thousands, who have problems everyday and simply find no solution in this chaos).
Did you try nuke-rebooting your modem/router (unplug) and disconnect all peripherals/VR gear before booting?
Thanks for your reply. Yes, even tried it without anything plugged in and a complete new install of MSFS.
To be honest, I‘m tired of the 1000st workaround. Next time I have to dance naked around a firepit at full moon swinging a dead chicken to simply get the sim working…
I play video games for 40 years now and never had such annoying problems with any other program…
Maybe the mistake is somewhere on the user side, but when the sim works for days and without changes on my side refuses to start the next day, I don’t know what I‘m doing wrong.
It’s getting annoying tbh. I’m back at startup times i didnt have after SU5 or something. Imo a sim or game should just start, following a blue bar for 10 minutes is irritating.
And the next update is not due till 2025… :s
I’ve just timed is, 12min35… and then the sudden UK update
Personally, but it can also be the weather, i have a feeling everything is slower after the last update on my set. (Lenove gaming laptop). But loading/starting up the sim now is pressing the button and then get something to drink, go to the toilet and evt set up simbrief and navigraph before the sim starts.
But your sim at least starts 
I‘m sitting here with all my equipment bought the last years and can simply do nothing anymore 
I don‘t know if there is a chance to get remote support from MS!? The feedback form doesn’t help me that much…
i know likely a stupid question, but is your community folder empty and it there even the option to start in safe mode?
Disconnect all apps that load into MSFS2020 like navigraph or gsxpro
Thanks for your reply. Empty community, „clean start“, nothing helped. After a fresh Windows and Sim install now all seems to work again… until the next „unexpected error“ 
And PS: to describe, how easy you can get MSFS to make problems: after all was working again, I simply connected my second monitor from the sim rig (this one has no build-in speakers). From this moment on MSFS directly crashed just after opening without any error message or a rather cryptic message in the event protocol). Took me a whole day to find out that the monitor was the problem (the monitor is working fine but I believe MSFS was missing the audio output). With the second monitor plugged in again all was good again (but it‘s not that obvious without any clue).
i had that with a new pair of headphones. Installed it and opened the game… and lost like 15fps pure due to wrong settings…
For me every update (doesnt matter which one) all settings are changed and messed up. Esp the thrustmaster settings are a pain in the butt to reset right
