MSFS2024 loading screen stuck at 25% (loading 6th simobject)

Platform: Microsoft Flight Simlator 1.1.9.0

Addons: No community addons installed

Bug description: Since the latest release of MSFS2024, my Win10 PC i5-7600K is always stuck at 25% around when loading the 6th simobject

I have seen on my other Win 11 PC the PC just hungs for a second on that step than it jumps forward quickly completing the loading procedure

I think there is something there my Win10 PC i5-7600K doens’t like but I think if someone really wants to solve it, it should be easy to find what is causing that block as it happens always

The really sad side of this story when I was enough lucky to have the sim completing the loading procedure (a couple of times in the last week attempts) the performance were really good, just the loading procedure is impacting really heavily my machine (CPU always at 100% during loading)

After trying a lot, I have finally found what is actually causing the hang and how to overcome it

If you start normally the sim, on my i5-7600K PC it just hangs at 25% around loading the 6th simobjects, BUT as soon as you activate the console the loading procedure restarts and the error message about the Coherent GT failing to locate a file is shown in the console window

Actually if you open the console immediately when starting the sim, it just hangs for few seconds at that point then it goes forward

I have seen another post in dev support with Coherent GT completely hanging the system (especially on XBox) so definitely there is something linked to it making loading procedure to struggle on slower machines
Probably with the console window open the system is able to “jump” over the error

Hope this can help

Moved to User Support Hub Install, Performance & Graphics since OP indicated as solved.

Actually I consider it a really serious bug to address as this is impacting a lot of users

My suggested solution is just a trick to overcome it

Understood !, moved back to Bug Reporting Hub.
I have updated the tilte removing “solved” and adding the workaround tag so that other users having the same issue could intend using it to see if it also fix it.

In sim: settings-advanced options-developer’s mode (turn it ON).
Then you’ll see a bar on the top of sim’s window and CONSOLE button on it.

And you will see it every time you start sim since then.

But firstly you need have your sim started once to get to settings. ))

For me works changing Internet connection during sim downloading (starting) process - start sim via VPN connection and when it stuck disable VPN.

Now I can start the sim successfully at least.
Anyway I have lots of crashes to desktop during my flights… It’s ridiculous…
