Yes, patience is a virtue
But why a global release with about 15 million users trying to do the same thing at the same time?

btw still @15% after 2,5h

Hate to say i told you so but i told you so. Best decision I’ve made this year cancelling my preorder.

A disaster of a launch.

Aren't you the big man!  Well done.

Pretty cool how MSFS servers being hammered on launch day is news on Forbes 🙂

All so the journalist could write this.... can you imagine how pleased he was with himself..

'Long loading times and crashes (of the software, rather than the aircraft!) '

I kept the recommended setting and MSFS24 runs pretty nice...Only issue I found was on the career mode, the co-pilot is stuck standing up and won't sit down when I was taking my PPL test!..lol  I have a screen shot but don't know how to upload it

Well, i am stuck on 97% load since quite some time.. 😛

Yip Me to. Message stated something like taking too long to load... Gave up and closed down. 

Rebooted PC and started again, now back to Activating Packages, yes the old "Activating Packages" routine, seen it already

After stuck on % 97, restarted the PC and launched again. Nothing happens now. Stuck on %0

Well it was a good idea no?  Let the guinea pigs try it first and wait few days if not longer, we literally have already a sim remarkably similar....

does seem like an odd decision not to stagger this across the different regions

Steam achievement for getting past 97%

Running smooth on my end, though like others it took a long time to get into the game. 

The game itself is buttery smooth, guess I am lucky.

At this time, the planner doesn't automatically suggest routes. If you're on the web version, there are buttons to get SID and STAR suggestions, and on both sim EFB and web a button to automatically generate an enroute segment, but keep in mind these are procedurally generated and not sourced from a database, so you may need to adjust them as required for local rules.

The sim does not need to be actively running in order to use the web version of the flight planner. So, you can plan your route on the couch on the web version, save it, and later open the sim and download it to the EFB planner app!

Autoroute sent me from London to Paris via Svalbard, a 3300 NM diversion :)

the MS Store default location is

C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages

that is correct.

it took me more than 20 minutes to get to 9%. Has there been a statement by Microsoft on this if they are working on it?

Kip on the Ground is in. Doing the walk around. Looks pretty cool so far!
