Now the sim loads, but I can´t start a flight. I only see the loading circle in the lower right corner, but nothing happens.

Me to. Multiple attempts 2.5 hrs in and not even got inside a cockpit yet.

Yeah, same here. Well at least I got some configuring done on my hardware. Off to bed for me, I’ll try again tomorrow morning. Good luck to you all.
same, there is just no data being sent from the cloud, and it has been like that for hours.
spent 11h in the queueing, then you can now get in with relative ease only to find yourself ostensibly queueing by a different name waiting on data from the cloud that never comes to start a flight.
16h of waiting and not achieving a single flight, when that 16h could have otherwise been spent downloading data to my PC.
Yep. Thought I was being sensible for giving up yesterday at 16:00 after 2 hours of frustration only to find this morning and 16 hours later I’m still not able to play the sim. It was just teasing me by getting all the way to clicking the ‘fly now’ button then “ha! you’re going no further”. Giving up again 
This is where I am at now. The sim loads and I can explore the UI but the sim just doesn’t want to launch into a flight now. Leading up to that I had 3 CTD’s back to back.
I had the same. Then it finally laoded after 30 mins. I was shocked. ultra looks like fs2020 on medium settings. world streaming not workign at all. controls all janky and wrong. crahes when changing bindings in settings. I need to take a break now and come back when things have settled a bit. because the state of this release really shocks me.
Same here - I’m in disbelief started 4pm yesterday could get in for 8 hours yesterday now this morning won’t load any flights
No proper data loading for me too. I get information that bandwith is too low, so not a single flight since 16 hours after first installation try. It’s up to Jorg to give a statement whats happening here. There is no ducking away.
Yes same here. Not managed to get into a cockpit yet. I initiate a flight and nothing. It seems all of the assets in the game are server bottlenecked. Navigating around menus also takes an age. I have now given up. Off to do other things with my day.
I feel the same way. I was finally able to fly, now I´m getting the low bandwidth warning and the scenery doesn´t look good at all. I was afraid this was going to happen.
At least it’s not just me. Feeling really let down by Microsoft has been a lot of hype and was looking forward to next generation of this sim. Finally got it to load after hours of trying to now find out that if you try and do anything within the sim it just freezes on a loading page and you watch the load icon go round and round. Might have to reinstall anniversary edition at least you can fly something
Is there a new update on this one? I’m still not loading in, but can see the ‘world’ trying to stream in buildings and clouds. It just doesn’t complete. I’m still missing planes and that changes every restart, so I’m assuming the same underlying issues are still there and haven’t gone away. We just get further in to the load before the data timeout.
I’ve got this issue (after having the queue issue yesterday).
Flight appears to be starting OK, camera zooms out slightly but never zooms back into the runway.
I know these issues were to be expected really but Microsoft’s feedback could have been much better.
I managed to do one short flight but now just stuck waiting to start flight. Tried restarting game but no joy so far.
Maybe in one week we will be able to get into the cockpit… but the plane wont move… yet another week will have to pass till we can get to the runway.
This sh… isnt even funny anymore.
Mine is now a menu simulator.
App loads great no issue menus all work click to do any flight spinning circle thats as far as I get.
same here.
“Not enough bandwidth” on the World Map, and after that - endless circle.
Day 2 and eventually entered the sim after 5 hrs of trying. No flying for me though, bandwidth too low messages and spinning circle in bottom right screen. It seems I am not the only one. £129 and you have to wait and see if it gets fixed.
