Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 didn't get off the ground on launch day. On Tuesday, expectant pilots found themselves staring at a status screen that read 0% for most of the day, and even those who managed to load 97% of the game still wound up stuck.
This situation lasted pretty much all day, with Microsoft advising players to, essentially, wait until the issue was fixed. After a few hours players began seeing a new status screen informing them there were too many people trying to login at once: a queue, in other words, much like an MMO might have, but without an actual number showing where you were in line.
