Microsoft Apologises for Flight Simulator 2024 Server Issues

Microsoft has apologised to users who were facing login issues during the Flight Simulators 2024 launch.

Head of Microsoft Flight Simulator, Jorg Neumann apologised during the Developer Launch Day Update video uploaded to their official YouTube channel.

“Unfortunately, the excitement, we knew the excitement was high for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, but frankly, we completely underestimated how was high and it has really overwhelmed our infrastructure,” he said.

He later continued, “Again, while it was a great launch day, we know a lot of people are frustrated, we are really sorry, we want to apologise, this video, we made it to be as transparent and as honest as possible.”

Asobo’s Sebastian Wloch went into more detail on the issues, citing that the team had tested up to 200,000 concurrent players, but that launch day exceeded that player count.

“We are doing our best and going as fast as we can to make sure everybody can go in,” he said. Even players who do make it into the game may find that some content, such as specific planes, is missing and this is connected to the same server issues, Wloch continued.
