The servers are now up and running, but Flight Simulator 2024 still has serious problems. Cloud streaming in particular is causing bugs and glitches.

At first, the problem was waiting times and overcrowded login servers, but now more and more people can test Flight Simulator 2024. However, they are increasingly encountering bugs and glitches that are sometimes annoying and sometimes laughable.

In the Reddit forum for the Microsoft Flight Simulatorthe community shares their experiences with screenshots and videos of strange events. We have summarized some of the best bugs for you in the article so that you don’t get bored while loading:

Serious streaming issues

Most display errors currently have to do with the streaming of game data from the cloud. After installation, Flight Simulator 2024 “only” takes up around 50 gigabytes of space on your hard drive; the high-resolution content and textures, and even the aircraft, are downloaded from the internet while the program is running.

This causes connection problems on the client or server side for bizarre scenes reminiscent of the early days of 3D engines:

Not only buildings and airplanes look awful in this case, the environment is also broken down to its simplest level. In this case, London has been caught, where Parliament and the London Tower stand forlornly out of the flat texture mud:

It is even more disturbing when only your own aircraft has a modern graphic design, but all around you, the low-poly nothing looms:

Erratic terrain

In Flight Simulator 2024, user The_Mindbender has found a particularly “beautiful” bug that resembles the legendary glitch towers in the predecessor at

Because of erroneous altitude informationin the game, an insurmountable rock wall at the airport in Telluride extends across the runway. This makes it impossible to take off by plane, which is particularly frustrating in career mode.

Not an isolated incident: Players report that trees on the runway at other airports or have been flooded by water

Our experience in the editorial team confirms many of these problems; we have also been annoyed by aircraft disappearing and textures not reloading for minutes. But we have never experienced such a disturbing camera movement, as Reddit user Hot_Net_4845 literally sees at the start of the career mode:

. At least most players of Flight Simulator 2024 can laugh at the various bugs and glitches. However, it is probably mainly gallows humor that is behind such reactions, because the launch of the flight simulation must be described as extremely messed up. No wonder that the Steam reviews are currently around 20 percent positive. And what is your experience?
