I started flight school soon after waiting in the queue for an hour. I now have my commercial rating, over 30, 000 hours on the 737/777 and my grandkids just bought me a beautiful watch for my retirement party. Still waiting in the queue.

Only a German could be so serious and sarcastic at the same time.

Lets take it easy, Microsoft is a small company, with little budget and only junior developers working on it. Plus, $200 for a game is not that expensive, come on.

i love microsoft loading simulator, the loading doesnt get any more realistic than this

"Fixing [the issues] would mean installing a server capacity that [will never] be used again" -- that's not how the cloud works. One of the main advantages of a cloud-based infrastructure is that it is able to scale up and down with demand. They could have installed sufficient capacity before the launch and then just scale it down after a few days, when the demand decreases. They either anticipated the demand completely wrong or they knowingly accepted these problems and chose to not mitigate them.

On the bright side it is extremely well optimized as I maintained 500+fps in the queue - amazing! 😉

[WarHawkAU]

I almost took the day off of work...almost....then I remembered how most launches go and saved my leave for another day

Not sure why anyone thought this release would be any different MSFS 2020. Call me in 6 months when the issues are ironed out.

[borna]

Emanuel please have mercy I’m crying in laughter over here 😂😭

[sky]

This is the reason I've been waiting, AND will continue to wait. It's just not worth the immediate headache lol

[furyanwolf]

The lesson here, NEVER pre-order, NEVER buy on release, ALWAYS wait a few months to a year before buying!

[Kress]

Real answer is to rent server capacity for the first few days, but that costs more than tweeting "we're sorry, working on it". Problem with this cloud infrastructure is that it takes one calculation to go wrong and we're back on a rainy day sitting in front of a grey screen, because Tim was drunk at resource planning and now they just run around trying to deploy more servers but they get unresponsive as soon as they start to serve the users...

[wathog]

This day and age it's not easy to bring down the server infrastructure as big as Microsoft but lads we did it

[theoldar]

I got in right away, made a flight around Manhattan, and landed. Then I made the mistake of logging out. Haven't made it back in since then.

[seanomatopoeia]

Spending 4 hours trying to get somewhere without any communication is the most accurate United Airlines Simulator I could ask for

[chrisibbotson]

Thanks for the laugh despite the disastrous launch

[Dave-imlw]

I started the install 30 minutes after it went live and was flying within the hour. So much better than my 2 day wait for MSFS 2020. My mistake was shutting down to eat lunch. It took me awhile to get on again, getting the 97% stall and server busy messages. From the few hours flying the L-39 around my home state of Arizona, definitely worth upgrading from MSFS 2020. Very happy with my purchase.

[tfd]

One thing they could have done is there are 5 editions, they could have spread the release over a week. Aviator, Premium, Deluxe, Standard and Game pass users respectively! That would have reduced the load on the servers during initial install which takes quite a long time,

[MrVampireBill]

It’s particularly realistic because you spend hours waiting for a flight

[Spida]

Microsoft seeing how popular Bethesdas loading screen simulator was and thought to themselves "Damn!!! We gotta get ourselves some of that!!"

😂
