Tips for fixing the stuck-on-the-last-loading-screen problem?

I recently filed a bug here regarding my problem that I can’t get back the last loading screen; things just continue to load indefinitely

I have the same problem for any flight in a major Australian city after Australia World Update.

I have the same problem, however nothing I’ve tried has worked.

Check your C:\ drive:

Mandatory Update 31/1/22

Thanks but none of it helped. I’m a couple hours in and 50% through the reinstall. I have the sim installed on the D drive but ran out of space on the C drive. Figuring lack of drive space may have corrupted something in the install I did some drive cleanup and changed the Stream to point the whole library to the D drive.

^ This guy was stuck on the first loading screen and wouldn’t load any further. He later found out the cause was he ran out of space on C:\. You might have installed the simulator to a different drive but it still might be writing files to C:\ in these locations:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MicrosoftFlightSimulator
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_[Your Version Number]_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WindowsApps\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe
C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe
C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightDashboard_8wekyb3d8bbwe
C:\Users\[Your User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator
C:\WindowsApps\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_[Your Version Number]_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
C:\WpSystem\S-1-5-3876622tet-771027889-3555349395-1001\Appdata\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe

Important: Windows 10 by default hides the “AppData” folder, so you will have to go to “View” in the menu of File Explorer, and select “Hidden items” so as to see it.
