January 4, 20251 yr They should remove the checking for updates at startup and instead have a notification in-game when an update is released. Why would you need to check for updates every single time you start the sim?! Just stupid. Edited January 4, 20251 yr by neumanix
January 4, 20251 yr On my system, 2020 checking for updates never takes over a minute. I just timed it now, 49 seconds. Meanwhile, 2024 boots up over twice as fast as 2020. When I click on the Fly icon from the map page, the flight loads at least 4 times faster than 2020. Quick and snappy load times has been the glory of 2024 for me from day 1. I only fly 2020 for tests. As a GA flyer, I see no downside to 2024 except a few things don't work on some of the planes, they aren't fully 2024 compatible. I have the aviators edition, bought at a steep discount bargain from CDKeys. 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.

Killing the internet while it’s checking for updates sometimes works. This issue of “checking for updates” is just the introduction of what’s to come.
January 4, 20251 yr 11 hours ago, Ixoye said: How it's that possible? It isn't. Checking for updates has always taken some time, but 2 minutes is just ridiculous. It's highly unlikely that we will get a fix anytime soon since they are too busy fixing a broken 2024 release. Edited January 4, 20251 yr by CFIJose MSFS
January 4, 20251 yr 14 minutes ago, CFIJose said: since they are too busy fixing a broken 2024 release. Yes, it will be a while. Just removing planes from top of buildings or repairing the issue of planes landing without their landing gears deployed, that alone could take months. No love for 2020.

January 11, 20251 yr Same here. Close, rebooted PC, restarted and still stuck on checking for updates. What a croc of S***!!
