After weeks of trying to get Flight Simulator 2024 (FS2024) up and running, I’ve finally found success. Like many users, I spent countless hours troubleshooting, with frustration reaching epic levels.
To help others, I’ve compiled a list of essential items that seem to work for most issues. A quick search through the forums and YouTube channels will provide more detailed information.
**Fixes:**
1. **Complete Reinstall**: Delete and reinstall the sim, especially if you tried to install on day one.
2. **Map Enhancement Tool Removal**: Remove the Map enhancement tool and its associated code from the host file.
3. **Best Practices:**
* Set priority to “high” when launching the sim.
* Avoid changing multiple settings at once.
* Load all peripherals first (yokes, pedals, etc.).
* Start VR only after getting everything configured and ready to fly.
* Introduce one new addon at a time for testing.
* Clear FS controller settings if using SPAD or other software.
* Set weather, time, multiplayer/traffic before hitting “Read to Fly.”
While 2024 is mostly working for me now, I still need to tweak settings for optimal performance. With these tips, you should be able to enjoy a smoother experience in the sim. Good luck!
