Flight Simulator 2024 Launch Plagued by Technical Difficulties
The highly anticipated release of Flight Simulator 2024 has been marred by significant technical problems, leaving many players grounded before they could even take to the virtual skies. Numerous reports detail frustrating download issues and extensive login queues, with limited support from Microsoft.
Download Problems Ground Players
A major source of frustration stems from interrupted downloads. Many players report their downloads stalling at various points, frequently around 90% completion. Repeated attempts to resume the download often prove unsuccessful. 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 advised only to "wait," a response deemed insufficient by many.
Login Queues Exacerbate the Situation
The difficulties don't end with the download. Even after successful installation, players face lengthy login queues due to overloaded servers. Many report being stuck in indefinite waits, unable to access the game.
Microsoft has confirmed awareness of the server issues and is working on a solution, but without a concrete timeline, players remain uncertain when they can finally experience the game.

Community Reaction
The online reaction from the Flight Simulator community has been overwhelmingly negative. While some understand the inherent challenges of launching a large-scale game, many express disappointment in Microsoft's apparent lack of preparedness for the high player volume and the inadequate solutions offered. Social media and online forums are filled with frustrated players expressing their disappointment with the lack of proactive communication and clear guidance from the developers.
