Exactly same problem here on MSFS2024. Could you make it work?

I tried everything and nothing was working than I followed the procedure of deleting “cloud save” and it finally worked!

Just saw this . . . can you explain ‘deleting cloud save’?

See that article and read attentively the Warning that comes on the top:
