Simulator will not load after the Fly button is pressed

@CurtList1920663 A warm welcome to the forums.

I wonder if you have had a look at this thread (and in particular the post in the thread I linked) to see if that may be a relevant factor.

Application hangs when loading a flight "Fly"

OK - here’s one possible solution … Has anyone tried the Google Maps Mod? I’m wondering if this is responsible for the hangups? I tried it, initially it caused some issues so I uninstalled. This of course may just be coincidental? Update: OK - a result for me! … I failed to remove two lines from the Windows hosts file after I uninstalled the Google Maps Mod - this may have been addressed on newer versions however, I removed the two lines, rebuilt the Windows hosts file, rebooted my PC. All now…
