Same here. I went through every single option I can find. Finally, I reinstalled the whole game. And guess what? Still won’t load. Please fix!

Full reinstall should never be the answer, ever, especially if your ISP gives you a data cap/allowance.

You should always check the forums for trouble reports before reinstalling! That’s a lot of wasted time on your part for no gain.

I’m tempted to install FSX, I have addons worth hundreds of $$$ for that

Same in Luxembourg, after 30 mins waiting the hangar loads, then in 10 seconds the game crashes. :frowning:

Stuck on ‘checking for updates’, again (MSFS 2020), UK.Tried it through VPN in different countries. Looks like its global.

According to the ‘status’ report on this forum’s home page, there is nothing wrong. Plenty of reports on DownDetector though.

Don’t know what’s happened to the MSFS department lately. Gone down the toilet by the look of it.

Let’s go back to 2MB RAM and 12" CRTs.

I did that years ago and just had to say bye bye to FSX… You’ll see what I mean if you do.
