it worked perfectly fine for me the last 3 days, but today the sim has locked up 4 times with no real pattern to it. Three different airports, same aircraft, the A400M, but I did a 3 hour flight in it yesterday with no issues.

You can't have a rolling cache of less than 16 GB. But, if you have a larger cache file, you can reduce it by the following steps:

1 to 11

Many thanks for that long winded but knowledgeable reply. Not your fault that it had to be long winded of course, but excellent workaround which I shall try tomorrow. Strange that it had to replace the easier method of clicking one button in its predecessor but hopefully they will reintroduce that at some stage. Thanks again.

An evening flight simming is always a surprise if it works.

Seems fine now after I uninstalled the beta Navigraph apps. No freezing. I didn't do one at a time so I have no idea which one it was.

I mean .. i saw it coming but wanted to believe. I took part in the tech alpha and saw it for myself: Long load times, terrible looking things due to stuff not loading in, Terrible UI, Control profiles for the most popular sim products missing which then requires you to remap EVERYTHING. Kept my mouth shut because i sincerely thought that with all the positive noise going on while the tech alpha was open my issues with the sim was the exception to what everyone else was seeing. 

......Absolutely no one responded to my concerns. I saw RobC's posts at the time and he was pretty much tarred and feathered. One can argue that maybe he was being overly negative.. but was he being unreasonably cautious about singing praises about an unreleased product..? probably not.

 

That's a very honest post and it's indicative of a classic case of group think, peer pressure and exactly why so-called "influencers" and testers are under great pressure to follow the hype or be outcast. I must say that many youtubers must also carry the can for contributing to the hype, too frightened to point out the flaws and always caving in to pressure to report the good and not the bad.

This is very different from FS2020 which though flawed on release, did actually load and offer a reasonable experience. But again, this most of all demonstrates that Asobo and Microsoft seem uninterested in testing their own product. You cannot rely on Beta or Alpha testers. You HAVE to check your own work and you need top level management that has a grip on quality control. Also, why the rush. Releasing a product like this WAY before it is anything near ready is just storing up reputational and financial disasters. 

"Loading unusually long: log saved to Report-loading.toml" and stuck on 97% during sim startup this evening.

I was actually enjoying the sim earlier for a few hours today, and it is impressive when it works.  But now at 8:30pm EST I can't even get into the menus.

The good news is that the log message indicates that this is a problem that is being logged and tracked.  The bad news is that such a log message indicates this is a common enough problem that it clearly needs to be logged and tracked.

It really is not acceptable that you can't even start the program at certain times due to server overloads. It's a shame, because there is clear potential when things work - but this isn't a gym membership. You shouldn't have to wait in a queue just to access the software.

What solved the control mapping issue for me was using the duplicate option. 

Create a new profile for the middle one only (duplicate it).

Only ever use the duplicate one, just leave the old one there without deleting it, but never use it.

As far as others bugs go, West Virginia pop-ups are back baby!

This time instead of those triangular looking things, we have what appears to be cabbage patch cliffs growing out of trees.

Check out KCRW - Yeager Airport @ Charleston, WV, the entire city is one giant cabbage patch cliff artifact.

Of course it could have just been a streaming issue, but I have only flown it once.

I have seen the same on my end in that area and airport.

I had this happen to me also this evening but after finally emptying my COMMUNITY folder it suddenly worked immediately. Strange, the same addons in COMMUNITY had worked flawlessly in the original first MSFS 2024 version before todays hotfix. Will take some time to find the culprit(s) that were causing this. it didn't occur to me since that 97% message looked like the licensing server issue we had 2 days ago.

My Community folder is completely empty. As of 11:30pm EST still not able to get in. It appears that these access issues are far from resolved.

switching from 2D to VR and  back to 2D and VR again resulted in a CTD

Never had a CTD, however I did have a passenger parachute out of my plane in career mode due to my bad flying.

For every inibuild airplane, but never tried the A400, the sim is freezing after a flight and trying to go back to the main screen.

I think the origin of a lot of issues (other than having the supply/demand of bandwitdth in order)is; Change management 

Other than some alpha testing there are no explainers or show cases (either by MS or the youtubers) where the changes between 2020 en 2024 are explained. Result is that every one expects that every thing is the same, but it just slightly different.
