... these connection issues. The game loads fine and quick but when I just launched a flight I'm gazing at the spinning circle. It worked fine this morning.
Yesterday I had the same issue twice and on the second time it happened, just hitting ESC and then relaunch the flight it would connect and I could have ago.
But now, I'm looking at that dreadful spinning white circle again. Stopping, re-loading, quitting to desktop and re-starting does not get me into a flight either.
I want to have a flight going to test my control setup but M$ just says no.  😡😡😡

Spinning white circle, wasn't that casued by addons? Microsoft are evening disabling non-plane addons while they identify marketplace addons that cause issues. 

I don't have add-ons and the community folder is empty.

how long  do  you wait  with  the  spinning  circle  i  usually  have  to wait   about  1 to2  minutes  this  is  the longest  part  takes  around  5  minutes   from  start  to  the  entering  the  cockpit on  my pc

Usually 1 to 2 minutes, mostly it loads even faster. Once it goes beyond a minute or 5 I call it a day and quit, I just find that unacceptable because you'll never know if it will load eventually.
Just re-launched the sim, now the flight did load without a problem, around a minute.

According to Jorg you must be in the 0.001% club as "..the reliability is now above 99.999%."

Wow, 5 9's is the equivalent of less than 6 minutes downtime per year and outside of 6 nines which is almost unattainable expect in manufacturing (6 is less than 1 minute of your services not being available all year) it would appear it's a bit early for those kind of statements.  I mean 5 nines is essentially the gold standard for availability so they are claiming MSFS is in the realms of the most available services in the world after a week?  I thought Azure's SLA's were 3 9's to be honest and that would be the determining factor.

Maybe because I just bought the Standard version instead of cashing out more than the double for a few airplanes/airportes extra or maybe because I bought a key at CDKey's?

I too purchased the Standard Edition, because I was very sceptical about it ...

Fortunately after the first 3 days I didn't have any additional quirks with loading and running FS 2024, other than the initial loading screen witch takes a bit to load... 

Very stable, and I'd say smoother overall than FS 2020, even with it's higher level of scenery and weather depiction details.

I rate FS 2024 even above my previously preferred flight simulator in terms of gameplay, which was MS FLIGHT ( I still miss MS FLIGHT, just as I do FLIGHT UNLIMITED 3, and even PROPILOT 99 ..., Airline Simulator 2 and Flight Assignment ATP Rev. D ).

At lunch time today, I skipped the eating part and replaced it by a desktop session 🙂 

Flew around Cascais ( LPCS ) and it's simply UNBELIEVABLE the level of detail I can get without my FPS ever dropping from 30 - which I set through Riva Tuner - or experiencing stutters !!! WOW !

Nope neither will be the reason.

I get this every 1 in 3 start ups, annoying.

I get the spinning white circle problem when I load at a gate at Gatwick, but it works fine when I load in a general aviation parking spot. Fenix A320.

Why is there a problem loading at a gate?

At least you get a spinning wheel! I keep hitting the 'fly now' and it does nothing.

What's really annoying is when I get the xbox pointer instead of the mouse pointer.

Because simply Jorg lies. His job is to feed us corporate talking points. I don't believe anything out that guy's mouth.
