Just hours after its November 19 launch, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is experiencing a number of bugs and performance issues that have led to the game being review-bombed on Steam, where it currently sits at an “overwhelmingly negative” rating.
From missing aircraft to excessively long loading times, the issues in question have left the game nearly unplayable according to users airing their grievances with the game on Steam. Developer Asobo Studio has acknowledged the issues via a Twitter post, and the studio says it is currently working to rectify the issues as quickly as possible.
We are aware of reports of aircraft missing from the My Library and Aircraft Select screens in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. This issue is related to the server issues we are currently working to resolve.
Please stay tuned for further updates.— MSFS Support (@MSFS_Support) November 19, 2024
According to Asobo Studio, both the missing aircraft bug and the extremely long loading times are a result of server issues caused in part by the large number of players currently trying to access the game after its launch.
