February 19, 20251 yr Sofar I had a very reliable experience with 2024, however... I have a PPL and actually flew yesterday with a Robin DR400 from Seppe (EHSE). Afterwards I decided to simulate and compare this actual flight with MS 2020 and Ms2024. After having compared flight characteristics yesterday in 2024 with 2020 (same aircraft, airport and same live weather) I closed 2020 and reverted back to 2024. MSFS2024 started up in the normal way with the movie and timeline. However when fully loaded the menu does not appear and in the lower left corner I only see the Quit to desktop button, while the movie goes on for ever. I repeated the start up several times, but I can no longer enter 2024. I did not change anything related to PC or sim configuration. I appreciate any suggestions to solve this issue. Many thanks.

If you didn't do a PC restart then try that (turn fully off that is then back on) and keep trying until it works.

February 19, 20251 yr Had the same thing a while ago. Had to restart the PC to solve the problem. PS. I have not flown in 2024 for a while, waiting for the update. Edited February 19, 20251 yr by pinepix62 added PS Johan Pienaar
February 19, 20251 yr Author Hi Johan, Issue appears solved. I just now thougt about renaming the 2024 Community map and MSFS2024 started up normally. Next I deleted the latest addition (update Aerosoft pushback app) , then renamed the map back to Community and start up was OK again. Thanks and regards, Jan
February 19, 20251 yr Just to add to this, some liveries made for 2020 can also cause hangs at the start screen. Also, when updating to either new beta or official builds, make sure to delete the aircraft folder for addon aircraft in the AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\WASM folder (especially 2020 built) before loading the sim. Otherwise you may have a case where after selecting the aircraft and clicking "Fly Now" the loading goes on near indefinitely. Also good to clear Scenery Indexes and Cache as well when there's an update.
