Activating Packages MSFS2024

Featured Replies

Every new start of MSFS2024 is going thru Activating Packages.
Is this normal ?

Takes forever every time.

Yes, but it takes about 2 min on my system from clicking the icon to being in the main menu. Is it taking a lot longer for you?

Yes, europe is still not working. Try a VPN to the US.. that seems to fix it for many people. Or just wait till they get around to fixing the european servers.

Sometimes I see VFS Activating Packages and other times it's just VFS Activating Packages. What are the differences?

I know, this has always seems wrong to me, sounds like an installation thing, so why should it have to do it every time you start the thing up???

It's not an installation thing. It's a startup thing. It's how the sim starts.

Only the devs know. But once it's working properly, the load time is super short.  ~2:15 to get to the main menu. And from there to a flight (to a brand new city that I haven't cached) is another ~1:30 min And this is consistent every time. 

I'll edit and post a video in a minute, just uploading it somewhere.

Total time from when I click to start, till I get to the world map is between 2-1/2 and 3 minutes. For maybe the 10 times I have logged in. I'm in Western USA. Once you get into the sim, you can change the settings to Western USA no matter where you live. It's up by your gamertag. Too bad you can't do that before logging on.

Mine still takes 15 min though.

Yup, they need to fix the issues worldwide. I had the same problem on Day 1 and part of Day 2, but then it just started working and I havent' had any issues since.

5+ minutes for me to get to the Menu screen, without VPN I don't see all my aircraft and the selection buttons (aircraft, helicopters etc) are missing, with VPN pointing to USA they appear and the load time is still 5+minutes....
