So its all fixed....... Def Not
Just read the latest update on 25th from developer. Thanking everyone. A big well done to Asobo. Shame it still takes 20 mins for me to start the game. Game runs good once in the game activating packages takes ages still. Not my connection as mostly well while playing just the activating still slow. Is it just my experience???. Come on Asobo please fix this. Windows version, UK, 1 GB connection

maybe try to empty the community folder as they tell in patch note ? Worked for me.

Would you know the location of the community folder?? I installed the game on my E drive and have the rolling cache in another directory. I already have uninstalled Flightsim 2020. Would there still be a folder on my C drive somewhere thanks for your help

Thanks Saydi. There is nothing in my community folder. Was just reading a post online about moving the community folder so will try that.. fingers crossed
20 mins is way too long to be "correct" my load times with a few mods is equal to the launch movie playing fully and looping a tiny bit.

without mods it launches when you see the gyrocopters.

Last weekend it became impossible again to start flights for UK users, and then recovered on Monday.

Until I see several weeks of consistent 100% streaming functionality regardless of high demand times then it's not fixed by a long shot in my view.

And that's before looking at other bugs and shortcomings.

I personally thought his message was a "little bit" on the tone deaf side of things. Yeah, there are still numerous issues, big and small with the simulation/game. I'm enjoying it overall, but some things just make me shake my head.

That's weird because on my Xbox Series X I am usually at the main menu in about a minute.

Usually the start option becomes available as the stretcher is being loaded into the plane in the opening cinematic

It takes me about 5 on my PC and somewhere between 1 and 2 minutes on my Xbox series X.

So they didn't fix anything. I have a top end rig and gigabit internet and it literally takes over 5 min just to get through activating packages. Literally adding wear and tear on my PC and energy consumption waiting for this crap to load.

Right, Their message suggests that all issues were related to server issues, it's all fixed and it's now the best flight sim they ever made. I think the guy never played his own game more than a few hours or it's an attempt at gaslighting

Because aside from the connection issues (which are mostly fixed for me, apart from ocasionally being kicked back to the main menu mid flight because of loss of connection), there's tons of bugs and many game mechanics are just as half-assed than in the last edition, or nowhere near the quality of even the free mods.
After a fairly frustrating 20 hours in career mode full of problems described by others in other threads, i've now hit a bug in the maintanance menu of my plane that pretty much ruins the save :)

theres definitely a lot more going on than just 'server issues', nice to know that the head of MSFS or whatever is set on denying it rather than fixing it

Server are definitely not fixed... still long loading and always bandwidth too low...

I have the same connection as you and it's not that bad, the game takes longer at some points, the first time I installed it and played it didn't even take 5 minutes and the second time it took a little longer but nothing serious, you're exaggerating.
