SU9 - sim cannot start flight

Featured Replies

Ok, i have serious issue here after SU9, sim is not crashing or freezing but flight is not going to start even blue progress bar reached the end.

I have removed all content of Community folder plus deleted and disabled rolling cache.

Computer restart also done.

Any help please?

I haven't seen that issue. I know you said you're not getting a CTD or freezing, but you could either just wait it out for 10 to 20 minutes, if the text at the bottom of the screen is still changing then that is a good indication that MSFS is still working. If the above doesn't work you could try this https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/ctd-fix-info/471880

I gave up - reinstalling whole MSFS now... 🙁

what aircraft were you trying to fly, there is an issue with wasm planes, they need to be compiled, can take a looong time.

If you were using the Google earth mod - that was your culprit.  Bad host(s) file after update = cannot connect to content servers = cannot load flight.   Will likely still occur after re-install, too.

After rebooting the problem is gone in my case.

If you have used the mod - check your host(s).  Known issue.

Yes, i have used Google mod, but what do u mean'check your host' ? - what and where shall i check ?

It almost surely is that host file, you just remove the bottom line from the host text file and then try booting up again. Save the old file somewhere before you change it.

C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Wow, that Google mod has caused so many problems for so many people.

MSFS will boot up if every line in the hosts text file begins with an #.  So you remove any line that does not (will be at the bottom of the file).
