I’ve always noticed that those who “Lord” over AVSIM display a bit of a “dictitorial” attitude now and again. The dismissal of having two separate forms for MSFS 2020 and 2024 is complete and utter obstinate thinking.

Actually I did read your post but as I hadn't used VR in the last year nor the Open XR Toolkit I didn't think it applied in my case. Anyway I thought it wouldn't hurt to try after reading your response. Opened the OpenXR Toolkit App and disabled it rather than delete it, started up the flight sim and woopee, it loaded up beautifully. Thanks for your help.

Yesterday, July 30, I launched the sim intending to do a little flying. After launching the sim I came back to the computer ten minutes later and found that it still had not finished loading as one of the "splash" pages was still showing on the screen, so I left it to finish. When I returned 15 minutes later nothing had changed, same "splash" screen, still appears to be loading. I decided to shut down the program via the Task Manager manually as the whole process seemed to be frozen. Later in the day I heard about the problems Microsoft/Azure were having. Later in the evening after reading that some of the problems had been resolved, I tried to activate the sim again. Everything seemed to start up okay and I used the "safe mode" as I had manually shut it down earlier. As others have reported, everything seemed to be going okay and it appeared to be loading, then halfway through the loading it crashed and I was back at my computer home screen. I tried it again a couple of times in the evening both "safe mode" and "normal mode" but the result was the same, crashes during the loading process. I have tried a couple of times today July 31, and nothing has improved, still the same, even though I've heard that the network problems yesterday have mostly been corrected. I don't have any 3rd party scenery or airports loaded but do have a few 3rd party aircraft. This is the first big problem I have had with sim since I got it in 2020. it was working fine up until July 30. Any ideas would be welcome.
