Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 has "overwhelmingly negative" Steam reviews due to launch issues, including endless load times caused by server issues.
So far, I can get into a single Free Flight AS LONG AS I ONLY SELECT A DEPARTURE. If I place a destination airport, it doesn’t load. That has worked pretty consistently. I had a lovely time flying poorly over North Korea, Gaza, and Ukraine.
Edit: Also should have mentioned, I can literally only get one flight to work. If I back out and try to do another one, it doesn’t load until I reboot the game. It’s not great, but it’s worked for me if you’re jonesing to try it out. An individual activity also successfully loaded for me the one time I tried, but it was a pretty long load (~3-4 minutes maybe). YMMV.
