Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
yes
Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
As described, it just hangs during load into a flight, at before the bar reaches 50%. For me of any aircraft, specifically if I restart the full sim, from windows desktop, attempting to load into the same aircraft type I has flew. It just happened again today to me, I flew the iniBuilds A300 yesterday, and wanted another go today. I had exited MSFS last night after that flight (normal exit), and rebooted earlier actually, and when starting this evening in the A300, with different livery but otherwise same aircraft, the sim never loaded into the flight (by this I mean, the screen after clicking the “Fly” button on the world stayed stuck below 50% without any movement for over 10 minutes. I’ve like others left it for hours in the past, and the bar has never moved. Windows reports no activity in Task Manager. The only way is to kill the application via Task Manager, and restart the sim.
If I do a restart, and select a different aircraft and spawn in, I can than exit that flight back to the menu, and re-select my original aircraft (A300 in this case), and this time, the sim will load properly.
This was the sequence tonight after A300 flight yesterday … 1. Start sim after reboot of PC. 2. Attempt to initiate a flight from world map in A300 - hang of sim. 3. Kill sim via Task Manager. 4. Restart MSFS. 5. Select A320 v2 (really any other aircraft works though), spawn in fully. 6. Kill that flight back to Menu of MSFS. 7. World Map selection of A300 again, this time, sim loads flight correctly.
If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:
Image was taken after 10 minutes waiting. NOTE, this was NOT a first compile slow load of the aircraft. I am well aware of that issue.

It doesn’t actually crash, so I cannot find a fault bucket ID.
