TIN City Workaround.

Since this week’s MSFS2024 Sim Update 1, you may have trouble loading in a flight…especially at airports located near TIN (Photogrammetry) cities. Either a long long time before starting or mostly the spinning wheel cycles until you give up and stop the simulator. This behavior (and bug) has been discussed over at the FS Forums and a couple of workarounds have been suggested.

(1) Turn your TLOD settings down…to 100 and maybe to 10. This seems to work consistently.
(2) Zoom OUT (far out) your World Map before you start the flight. This seems to work sometimes.

I have this problem and have used the two workarounds with great success. To be quick, I do both before starting at a Photogrammetric scenery. (After “Fly Now”, you can reset your TLOD settings to your normal level.)

As ever, YMMV.

Your conclusion is in line with what I experience, although I didnt realize the connection between PG and loading time.

I mostly start from an airport without PG beeing close. 

I wonder if this problem also existed in de beta

I see this connection between TLOD setting and flight loading time for a while now. If I experience a long loading time it has helped to go back with ESC and press the Fly button again. Works most of the time.
