Flight Simulator 2024: A Rocky Launch

Download Delays Ground Players

The launch of Flight Simulator 2024 has been anything but smooth. Numerous players report significant issues downloading the game, with downloads frequently stalling at various points, often around 90%. Repeated attempts to resume the download have proven unsuccessful for many.

While Microsoft acknowledges the problem and suggests a reboot as a partial solution for those stuck at 90%, players whose downloads are completely stalled are only advised to "wait it out"—a response that has generated significant frustration and a feeling of inadequate support.

Login Queues Add to the Frustration

Even for those who successfully completed the download, the journey wasn't over. Many players encountered extensive login queues due to server capacity limitations, leaving them stuck in indefinite waiting periods before even reaching the main menu.

Microsoft has confirmed awareness of the login queue issue and is working on a solution, but the lack of a concrete timeline for resolution has further fueled player discontent.
