I wonder now that the USA is starting the day some of the server issues will be coming back?

Wait! I've just got to Customise Identity!! But now it's frozen. Progress of a kind I suppose...I'll give it one more go then if I get no joy I'm done.

I hope y'all know Steam will lock you out of future purchases of a game you got refunded.

not true

if you don't supply a tail number in the customization menu it generates you a random one based off the country you start in

edit - sorry wrong post 🙂

 

the trees look great

Even Forbes has mentioned the debacle of the MSFS release....  At the same time, even Forbes is covering MSFS 🙂

I've been stuck there for the last 6 hours.... I'd just like to get in so I can set up controllers etc even if I can't fly today. 

I've done a restart and reinstall in that time, it won't go past that point.

Other than in former times (FS9/FSX/P3D ...), I did not jump in on day one for this new version. Lucky, I am. Maybe, I can upgrade my computer first (AMD 9xxx x3D and NVidia 5xxx series) before I install MSFS2024.

I'm only using this as I can't reinstall MSFS2022 for some reason. Had to uninstall it a couple of weeks ago and it just won't reinstall. But I miss it more than ever now. 

refunded (was approved immediately, I suspect many are doing the same)

good lord, opening FS2020 was a majestic experience

i'll be back in once they've done something with that absolute dog's dinner

Ok after much deliberation and a reluctant change to MS Store (as it's cheaper) I've purchased, looking forward to joining the queue to play 😄

Are people still having to get in a queue or do the 15 minute load after restarting?

hancrafted KSFO has been rebuilt from 2020, even has custom jetway models

Is it as good as payware? No, not at all, but it's a lot better than what Asobo made for the launch of 2020 lol

What about Denver DFW and ATL?

Just spent a couple hours doing a London City to Alderney flight in a Cessna (dont judge, im more a train sim girl), seems to perform better than 2020 did for me and got in immediately. Glad I only paid for a month of PC Game Pass instead of 60 quid though

I was able to install last night. Got the queue and error message. Today, right in.

Waking up this morning, I've loaded and started the game probably 6 times now and zero issues loading and getting in the game. There have been a few missing textures and bandwidth issues however.
