June 26, 20223 yr I have MSFS installed on two separate computers. Yesterday I spent two hours before I finally got MSFS to actually complete loading to the airport. I had to try disabling community folder, safe mode, deleting rolling cache, and God knows what else. For the past day, I can not get MSFS to load from the home screen to the airport "Ready to Fly" screen. I have tried everything. One minute it works, and then the next minute it doesn't. Both computers are fairly high-end so hardware is not the issue. Internet is very fast, also not the problem. If I can't even fly in safe mode, this photogrammetry disabled, I am out of ideas. MSFS is great when it works, but this is getting old. Any ideas would be appreciated.

June 26, 20223 yr Author For what it’s worth, I’m getting that “not enough bandwidth” message too. I suppose this may be related. This is ridiculous though. One day it works fine, and then the next day it is unusable. It’s becoming a bit exhausting having to cross my fingers and hope it works.

June 26, 20223 yr Well investigate your Network Situation. Are you using any kind of Third Party Firewall or Antivirus that is blocking the data and is your Router set up right? Are you using a VPN ? Is it WI-FI or Ethernet ? Edited June 26, 20223 yr by darshonaut my African sceneries for MSFS : https://darshonaut.blogspot.com/p/msfs-2020.html

It’s all good regarding the network. This issue just popped up out of nowhere. I’m continuing to troubleshoot. I use Comcast super high speed wireless internet and the combo router/modem, for several years now. Something else is going on.
