Maybe worth a shot...

The information about about clearing leftover bad data from the servers seemed logical....

I saw this, skipped to the time stamp where the reinstall is finally discussed.

I went ahead and did it, don’t see much difference, but it only took 12 minutes after uninstalling.

Played guinea pig, FWIW.

I did a complete uninstall. I also deleted the entire localappdata folder as this is where it apparently stores streamed airplanes. 

Did not see any significant changes. 

I still am having VRAM problems and I'm still not able to take the chocks off the INIBUILDS A32X.

If 2024 is not running well, then yes is the answer. This was also recomended in the devstream.

5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB  PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel. Crystal Light VR.

 

I did this.  I wasn't having problems, and I didn't try installing during the early days.  

Still, I figure, if I'm going to reinstall, better to do it now while my sim is still mostly "vanilla".  

It kept all my settings in the cloud so it was pretty painless.  

I kind of doubt it did anything, but it was harmless to do.

I uninstalled and I can't really tell much difference but I've only made two or three short flights. Rebooted after install and again after adding a few things to the Community Folder.  On first reboot after install everything fine.  Second start up I got an error message about something about 64 bit, but I let it continue and had no problems.  Shut down and restarted and no error message every time after this.

 Yeah, its not like once upon a time when doing something like this would have taken forever

Yes I did as well and it took less than 15 min so it’s not a big deal. 

9800X3d, 4090, 64 GB DDR5 6000 RAM, 4 TB NVME (2x2), 4K Ultra + Framegen

As long as it keeps bindings I guess it can’t hurt.

It does keep all the bindings and any progress in career mode.

Hello Gang.  Can anyone indicate what is the proper process to follow to uninstall and re-install while keeping all the bindings and settings?  Thanks a million.

Sincerely,

@DMullert bindings and settings are stored in the cloud. Simply uninstall -> restert -> check folders (mine were erased) -> reinstall -> fly

I also saw that video and decided to give it a shot since MSFS2024 is quite small to DL. It might be placebo but I would say that my sim starts a bit faster!? I see the intro video the second time and I'm the main menu untill the PAX board that blue KLM flight (so the video plays once completely and the second time till that KLM). IIRC I kept seeing the video almost 2 times till I was in.
