How To Fix Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Login Queue Not Moving

Overall, there is no current fix that we can recommend to avoid the long queue times to log in and play Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. The best fix, and also the one mainly recommended by Microsoft, would be to reboot the game, but only if your initial load is stuck after 90%. Otherwise, Microsoft recommends allowing the loading to proceed and finish. We can confirm that once you get past the queue, loading does start.

Users have been sharing their experiences on the Flight Simulator forums and experiences seem to be wildly different. Some users report having to wait several hours, others less than an hour and only thirty minutes. But overall, one other fix we would recommend is to try several times during the day and, especially, try to get in during times that will not be particularly busy in your region. For example, try to log in in the early morning or at lunchtime, and try to avoid busy times like the evening.
