Slow initial load MSFS2024

I’ve muted FS2024 and am listening to this instead. It’s only 10 hours long tho so might need to put it on repeat.

I know have an address book application on my laptop after this :wink: (cause my microphone was active)

Thought it has been fixed… is there anything what I should delete?

Loading time 2020 was less than 90s, this one still takes me 5 mins to get to 97%

Been unable to get a flight in today, 1 flight last night now it just gets stuck when trying to start a flight, career mode is even worse you cant even do a flight there at all because it says low bandwith lol I have 1 gbps download speed and same for upload speed with my internet should be fast enough. Let us just store what we want on our pc and xbox let the choise be ours what we want stored and what we want streamed, it would save so much server problems

Just started for a new try today.

If it works it’s okay, if not I will look for an refund of this ■■■■■■ piece of software

XSX and stuck at 11% x VFS Activating Packages…

Can anyone tell me, why the heck is this thing using 5% of my internet while loading gazilion data from the internet … This very same problem is when updating MSFS2020 where it literaly won’t go over 15MBit averaging 2-3 MBit, yet I got 80 to spend.

I am launching from Xbox app on my PC (not steam) and I am getting triggered by this, because everything else, … and I mean literaly everything else is ■■■■■■ my internet connection to max when downloading DCS, Steam, Battle.net … but not MSFS, I don’t understand this.

I’m on Xbox Series X.

Yesterday I joined many others with downloading and trying to play FS2024.

I started with being stuck at the 97% step, then a restart (as per Microsoft’s advice) saw me like others back and stuck for hours at 0%, a second restart saw me with the server busy message ‘please try later’ at which point after many hours I gave up. Tried again this morning and after another 97% I got a notification to download a ‘support update’ which I did. I then restarted again and this time I got into the setup screen but could not get past the ‘Customize identity’ section, this was at 6am this morning.
It is now just past 6pm and no matter what I try I cannot get past this ‘customize identity’ section.

The section before this is the controller screen and by using the ‘thumbstick press’ I found you can get out of the screen and go into settings etc and these all seem to allow me to make changes however… the only option appears to be ‘back up and save’ and no matter what I do this then returns me to the ‘customize identity’ screen whereby I’m stuck and nothing else ever happens (the circle in the bottom right just goes round and round).

If anybody has found a way to get around please let me know.

As many you, I find this experience very disappointing.

Just seen this on another post.

If you can, might be worth trying.

This was somebody in Europe I believe.

I don’t understand how this is possible. I am running Windows 11 on a 7950X3D, 4090, 64GB of ram and WD Black NVME drives. Every load I sit for 10+ minutes at this VFS ■■■■.

Is there anyway to stop 2024 streaming or importing my 2020 add ons, most of them were not even installed in 2020 because they were either no good or i did not use them anymore things like the LVFR buses i do not want and an add airport that was not compatibile in 2020 on XBOX, there is no option to remove them in 2024 and it lists them as streamed. I believe the airport add on could be causing an issue.

Hello Microsoft / Asobo we are tired now of playing the loading simulator we want to play the new Flight Simulator. I been loading for the past 10 hours now can we get this fixed

Is anyone still having issues? Im stuck at 97 and loading unusually long thing again

Hi, no issues today, i start the game just now, loading in 4 minutes to start menue.

Earlier today I was able to get in to fly after a 12 minute+ load time. I shut down and came back later only to have a 21 minute load time. This is ridiculous.

Nord VPN into Dublin = Win - Instant load into flights and all works.

Hi,’
Add to the bug please:

I have exactly the same problem with or without VPN.
I have never passed 97% (Aviator Edition, this one or another it must be the same problem)

Ive tried eith VPN and without cant get passed loading screen. They said they had fixed it on an announcement

Well folks it is now the end of DAY 2 and still not a single flight. Ive lost count of what threads I have read or posted to over the last two painful days.

Aside from very briefly getting the sim to open, and start a flight at an airport or two very early this morning, its been impossible to do anything since. The maps stopped loading hi res data, some didnt load parking spots or airports. If I managed to get a sort of airport layout and picked a parking spot then Fly Now absolutely NOTHING loads. Left it ‘loading’ for well over 30 mins, even longer on other tests and nope - nothing. I have a wired 1150mbps connection and each and every speed test confirms this. 7800x38 cpu, 3080ti and 64gb DD5 6000mt/s memory. I have rebooted the pc many times, restarted my router, reinstalled the sim and it still takes up to 2 hours for the sim to load and then guess what…barely any aircraft available.

This is nothing short of a shambles
