November 3, 20241 yr I think it's worthwhile to fix the problem and even reinstall if need be. Let's be honest, Every time a new simulator is released, it usually takes 6–12 months after release before it's actually good enough with updates and developers to start leaving behind the previous generation. It's always been the case in the past with Microsoft Flight Sim, P3D and XP. Edited November 3, 20241 yr by YukonPete Pete Richards I've owned every version of flight simulator since Flight Simulator 3.0 in 1988.

November 3, 20241 yr I can't be of much more help, because today and for couple weeks, MSFS is booting up fine for me. When it hasn't from time to time, I click on this box to go windowed, and then reduce the sim to less than full size compared to the monitor. Like in this image where the desktop is seen on all 4 sides around the sim window. And this has always fixed the issue for me in the past. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

No other changes or new add-ons for ages. And all I have running at the same time is TDS. There are 101 things to try and I must have tried the lot today. if you got the steam version open up steam go to the library right click flight simulator/ select properties select installed files than select verify intergity of game files i had to do this 6 months ago during a update my power went down and when i started the sim it kept on having the spinning circle think it took around 10 minutes to check I7-8700k,Corsair h1101 cooler ,Asus Strix Gaming Intel Z370 S11 motherboard, Corsair 32gb ramDD4,, gtx 1080ti Card, RM850 power supply Peter kelberg

November 3, 20241 yr Author So running offline didn't work, neither did verifying the files in Steam. Reinstalling is the only option I think. I'll think about it. 9950X3D - X870E Aorus Master- TUF 5090 OC - 64GB DDR5 - 1500W HXi - Titan 360 RX LCD - 9100 Pro x 2 - LG 45GX950A - HOTAS Warthog with Ava Base
November 3, 20241 yr I thought Steam had a way to verify files on it's games, and replace any defective ones...

It does by retrieving valid files and only those valid files replacing any corrupted/edited ones, so if you did a Verify Files Check it would only download what it needs too in order to get the installation back to default/normal. The trouble with MSFS is because of - I don't know what, maybe it's overall installed files or something - whatever reasons when you Verify Files it wants to redownload the entire game, come to think of it it may well be the launcher built into MSFS itself which prevents "easy" verifying as found with most other Steam games.

November 3, 20241 yr A friend had the same thing happen to him a few weeks back--a clean install of a current video driver followed by clearing the DirectX cache got it back into working order.

November 3, 20241 yr 19 hours ago, JonathanC said: $200? Why? You can get the Standard Edition for $60. Only get the more expensive editions if you really need/want them. The base edition is just fine if you are trying to save a buck or you already know you don't want the additional aircraft/airports. You can also buy individual planes from the more expensive editions this time around. You don't need to buy a bunch of things you don't need. Actually you are right.....Only thing is that I have to wait and see what and how I can port tons of airports purchased in 2020 version. If that is for free and if it works as they said it will and if the all airplanes purchased (Fenix and PMDG) will work that would make sense. But I will wait to see if that actually work as "promised" and what the issues if any might arise with new Sim. Alex

Last week I upgraded the ram (6000) from 32gig to 64 in anticipation of msfs2024. For whatever reason the identical additional ram would not play nice with each other. Ram replaced, all good now.
