The fanboys playing keyboard warrior over the past couple of weeks in response to the “sim isn’t ready” threads are nowhere to be found…
Pleas just announce the fact that you’re aware and working on it publicly. not just one hard-to-find message on the forums here. This is THE time to communicate..
Was JUST thinking that. Especially to the one who replied to 15,000 of us saying we’re being negative…
We’re here. Some of us have even expressed our feelings about this plainly-botched launch.
Currently sitting at the dreaded “97% - Loading unusually long: log save to Report-loading.toml …” screen.
BTW, that log is interesting but has nothing really to indicate WTF the sim is stuck.
Where is the file even located? I couldn’t find it in the game folder.
Stuck at 97% the second time as well. The log file shows progress on some packages, but in the past 10 minutes, the file hasn’t changed size at all, meaning nothing at all has changed in that time. In fact, the file’s modified time hasn’t changed in 15 minutes now. It’s definitely frozen. I dread restarting it, though.
Do a search for it by filename in the Search bar of Windows file explorer. It’s buried in the guts of your system somewhere.
EDIT: In my case it’s here:
“E:\WpSystem\S-1-5-21-576401414-3524905229-3368691721-1003\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\Report-loading.toml”
yep. it has. Going on 95% world data now but is took something like 40 minutes. Dont forget the zillions of people downloading from the servers at the moment…
Puts you right back at 97% unless you get lucky and “get in” and then it won’t matter because Career will CTD and you will have only a handful of planes and no way to install anything.
Thats how it is, 97% is equal to 100%.
Yeah so i got stuck at 97% with error message on my second load. Rebooted. And now i am at 6%.
My suspicion is that each time it starts over it’s loading more of the content it failed to load the first time. I’m starting it for the 3rd time now and will see if the .toml file updates the progress on content listed.
This is where I was before I rebooted at 97%:

97% - Loading unusually long: saved to Report-loading.toml
What now?? 
I Reset it?
Same here, second load is taking too long, over 10 minutes and still at 12%.
I’m so glad I opted to use gamepass before actually buying the sim, that I intend to, but it seems it still needs some polishing, as expected.
It’s kind of fun because I work and wanted to try it out after work hours and before dinner… Well that won’t happen.
give up until Asobo patches it. might be a day or two
terrible disaster!
