After hitting the fly buton the game hangs

Description of the issue:
Since yesterday (before everything worked good) when I want to load a flight I hit the flight buton and in the loading screen the loading bar moves to about 75 % and then it starts moving very slow to 100 % but nothing happens, it stays on that screen even after 1 hour of waiting.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes, I don’t have it every time. There’s more like a 50% chance that I can start a first flight after starting the program and a 10% chance that I can start more than one flight without restarting the game.
The problem for me started a week ago without any change on my PC.

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• To have a better chance of being able to start a flight, set OLOD and TLOD to 10 before the flight, and if you have set your starting point, zoom all the way out. When you’re able to start your flight, you can set TLOD & OLOD back to the original value.

Also, if I disable photogrammetry and Bing data, I’m able to load a flight. If I then put both ON again during the flight, the data keeps on loading again, and I have to kill the sim via task manager.

I have a pretty good internet connection (+200Mbps). I even tried a completely different internet connection but I still had the same problem.

I also tried to use a VPN to see if it has something to do with my location but that didn’t help.

I did a completely clean reinstall of the game also and I had the same problem after installing without any addons or community addons.

Because it started suddenly a week ago without any changes on my PC, I’m pretty sure they broke/changed something on the data servers

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:
• Can't start a flight, blue bar to 100% and noyhing happens when clicking 'start flight'
