• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

So...what did they do?
They caused mine to crash on loading. I flew successfully for over an hour this afternoon before the update was released. Now, after reloading and having the update automatically download and install, it crashes about 10-15 seconds into initial load. I've tried 4 times, including 2 with closing XBox app. Getting ready to restart computer.

After a reboot, the sim loads to 25 seconds before crashing, at the same time after 4 tries. I had installed FSRealistic, (actually updated it,) inbetween flights. I tried uninstalling FSRealistic, no change, still laods to 25 seconds then throws an error and stops loading. Anyone else having this problem?

I've launched MSFS 2024 several times today, and the update has not downloaded. Does anyone know how to initiate the download/install if it doesn't happen automatically.

Mine did it automatically. I guess it works like Windows updates, when MS thinks it's time.?

I finally went to forums, seems to be happening quite a bit. I ended up uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling. Works now. Next thing to fix, also listed in bug report forums is CTD on exit, (every time,) and Tobii Eye Tracker wanders from center. I'll do that tomorrow.
 
Yep...I just booted MSFS 2024 and the download started automatically...Mystery solved!
Hopefully it starts and operates normally. Mine went boots up while starting after downloading and installing the update. Required an uninstall, reboot puter, then reinstall. All working fine now. Took less than 1/2 hr to do all, including quick test flight. Love the loading times now.
 
They have soooo much more to do. I would be expecting pretty consistent update going forward for awhile.
