Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is officially out today, and fans are eagerly hopping into their virtual cockpits to take to the skies once again. Or at least, they're trying. Players are taking to social media to report initial loading screens that are lasting for two hours or more. Its propensity for hanging at around 97 percent has led to memes about "Microsoft Flight Simulator 97" and other jokes. Some fans aren't even that lucky, getting stuck at around six percent. This should be the new logo byu/epaga inflightsim .reddit-embed-wrapper iframe { margin-left: 0 !important; } In a post on X/Twitter, Microsoft said that it's aware of the problems and working on a solution. "We are aware of user reports of long initial loading times into Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. With so many users initializing the sim concurrently, we have a large number of server requests. We are working to help resolve the issues as soon as possible. For users whose initial load is past 90% and no longer progressing, we recommend a reboot. Otherwise we advise waiting to allow the loading to proceed as normal." Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is the follow-up to 2020's Microsoft Flight Simulator. Among its additions are a brand-new career mode and new aircraft types such as gliders and hot air balloons. We wrote in our preview, "I am suitably impressed with what I saw, and I didn't think they'd be able to improve on MSFS 2020 much more than an iterative update, but this is a reimagining of the entire franchise. Everything good… is better now, and everything new looks awesome and fun." Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is available now on Xbox Series X|S and PC.

You’ll be able to get around and adjust a lot of details about it, but a question players have been asking is if they can change the gender of their character.

Some are asking if this becomes available at a later point, after starting the game. Although there are a lot of customization you can do in Tower of Aghasba, changing your character’s gender does not appear to be available, at least, not yet. View the full article

Call of Duty: ****** Ops 6 has a new update that returns XP tokens to players after a backlash sparked by their removal following the launch of Season 1. Patch notes published today, November 19, confirm “legacy” XP tokens (aka XP tokens you've been hoarding since Modern Warfare 2) are now back in players’ hands. Their surprise availability with the launch of Season 1 was welcomed by players deep into the Call of Duty grind, but their equally surprising removal caused an outcry. At the time, developer Treyarch said it patched the legacy XP tokens out of ****** Ops 6 because their accidental introduction, which it blamed on a UI bug, "introduced some potential risk to game stability." Elsewhere, today’s update improves the hitmarker user interface to help identify shots more easily, and fixes a number of bugs across Multiplayer and Zombies. Taking on Zombies mode? We've got Essential Zombies Tips and Tricks to help you get started, plus a guide on How to Exfil. Both Zombies maps are full of easter eggs and secrets; here's everything we've found in both Terminus and Liberty Falls, including How to Pack-a-Punch in Liberty Falls and How to Get the Meteor Easter Egg in Terminus.

As you might’ve guessed, starting a new village from scratch requires a ton of materials. In Towers of Aghasba, you’ll need to collect plenty of Fiber before you can even begin making the tools necessary for construction. Unfortunately for players, the indicators that highlight harvestable resources are very small, making it easy to overlook resources like Sticks, Stone, and Fiber. Here’s how you can get Fiber if you’re early into your playthrough and what plants to keep an eye out for on your journey around Amani Island. View the full article

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is out today (Xbox/PC, Steam), and it packs in a whole lot of simulation. It's hard to imagine topping the 2020 version, which contained the entire world, at scale, 3D modeled and able to be flown over. It had real-time weather and rather detailed physics. You could theoretically fly a helicopter back to your high school football field and land on it, like 15-year reunion royalty. What could come next? [Hidden Content] Announcement trailer for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 A lot, including a world simulation that Microsoft repeatedly describes as Earth's "full digital twin." There are few, if any, real "reviews" up yet, given the size of the game and seemingly late access for reviewers. As such, I offer up all the notable things packed into this latest release so that those with flight sticks, patience, and a ******* to get way up yonder can decide whether to take off. It's a whole lot smaller, at least on first install. The 2020 version would take about 130GB on first grab (or 90GB if you manually loaded in 10 DVDs), but 2024 is "around 30" gigabytes, according to Asobo CEO Sebastian Wloch, who spoke with TechRadar. This should also be a major boon to those playing on Xbox, where space is more constrained. Read full article Comments View the full article

Treyarch soon announced it was a bug and fixed it, effectively taking the tokens away. No one was pleased. View the full article
