I have the same issue. Can get into the Sim just fine, but am unable to start a flight. My PC/connection do not seem to be under any stress.

Same here. Since release, I had no flight yet. Career mode is also not working.

Same issue. Following. Not sure how to fix this one. Obviously some folks are getting past this.

Same issue here!

Same here today, yesterday it was working fine, today, just won’t go past the fly now stage, just the little loading wheel going round, tried reboot, different areas etc. No logical reason for it.

Seems to be a server issue because it was also stuck on the edit identity page.

Same here, even with 3rd party airport and plane in community folder where there is little to stream. Was working fine yesterday.

I have the sim issue since last saturday.

After six or seven full clean install I still can’t load a flight in free flight. It still gets stuck in the loading screen. I tried everything:

  • Full reinstall after every update - checked for left files
  • Reinstalled nvidia drivers and deleted caches according to your videos
  • Emptied community folder
  • Check internet connection. I have a high speed connection of around 900mbps.

I gave up

I am experiencing this almost every day. Sometimes cannot start from random airports, mountain airstrips. It just loads and no textures / geometry being downloaded. The download indicator just circles until end of time.
Despite the fact what MS communicates, its obvious that the capacity issues are present and major.

Adding myself to the list. Lots of what I would call “stuck in the sky” after pressing fly now


Did anyone found a solution yet? I still can’t start a free flight on a 3rd party addon. Default sometimes load.

i have the same issue sort this out tryed everythink you are takeing the ■■■■ now

Having the same issue. Clean install runs ok, but all the addons that used to work previously now does not work. Here the steps to reproduce:

  1. Install MSFS2024, runs and loads ok
  2. Install Navigraph addons, runs and loads ok
  3. Install FlyByWire A32NX, with liveries, runs and loads ok
  4. Quit the game, game quits without problems.
  5. Run the game again with the exact same configs and addons, now scenery is not loading, stuck.
  6. Try cancelling, loading stops, can change aircraft, airport and etc.
  7. Try loading again. Stuck, no progress
  8. Try quitting the game, game stuck, have to kill it.
  9. Open the game again, goes back to 5.

Deleting addons sometimes help, but then sometimes it does not. Game is in unplayable state as of now. This game is meant to be played with addons, without them it is nothing. Please note that even the first version of the game used to run with the addons I am using without any major problems. It is broken after the latest update.

Same here i was able to play fine about 2 days ago , i didnt remove or add anything and from yesterday i cant start a fly .

If not already done, check the last section " GOOGLE MOD CONFLICT":

Ok, so got an update. Today I tried different tests. Found out that in my case culprit is FlyByWire A32NX specifically. I tried A380X from FlyByWire, and it worked ok. Moment I install A32NX first time it is ok, second time it goes into the loop. I treid both stable and development versions. Both are having the same issue. So if you have it installed, remove it.

I experienced the same issue today around 0200Z.
After waking up the issue was gone - magic 


Same issue here. I have not been able to start a single flight in several days.
Funny thing is, I did not install anything new (plane, scenery) on my system.

Unfortunately there is no progress bar when loading into a flight, so it‘s just staring at the screen stupidly, wondering why I am wasting my time with this.

Thanks God FS2020 is still working fine - so I do get my dose of flying every day, but I can not believe what a mess the new sim is, now already one month old


It’s been working for me after the first update. I’ve been told to click Enter on the keyboard instead of the “fly now” button. Try to see if that works.

Thanks, Also checked for this but no luck.
Regarding add-ons, I have only tried Fenix as that was an “official 2024” release, altough experimental. However the problem is not the plane but any 3rd party airport as i can load Fenix at a default airport
