Kauai not loading...

...in free flight. Can someone try loading up one of the Kauai airports in free flight to see if it works for you? I've been getting the spinning circle with no load at all for the past few days. I've removed any add-ons that I have for Kauai, and still have the problem. The other Hawaiian Islands don't appear to be affected.
PHLI Lihue, PHBK Barking Sands, HI01 Princeville, and PHPA Port Allen are four of Kauai's airports.
PS: I can start a free flight on another Island and fly to Kauai without problems.
Thanks
 
I've had this happen seemingly randomly with MSFS2024 a lot lately. Are you running SU3 beta? (Not sure if it's related as I'd had it happen occasionally since launch). The other day I could not get Southern California to load up; I just kept trying different airports until it worked.

And just when I was starting to think I was comfortable with 2024's performance...

It's been happening other places as well, but usually only with a scenery add-on. I'm running SU2, and it's been working great overall. Just this weird issue with Kauai (that I know of). I've tried all the tricks I can think of, but I guess I'll have to wait and see what SU3 brings...
Thanks Denny
 
Well, I stumbled on a potential fix from an old AvSim post. Reduce the TLOD to a lower level and then try loading. Reset the TLOD after the free flight loads. I've had my TLOD set at 275 since upgrading to a 5070Ti. I reduced the TLOD to 100, loaded a flight in both PHLI and HI01, then reset the TLOD to 275.
I'm wondering if this problem is related to the ongoing VRAM issues with MSFS2024... Hopefully SU3 will fix that problem.
 
I can fly at any of those airports on Kuai without loading issues. Just for the record, I have a GTX 3070 and my TLOD set to 140. I am also only using 1080P resolution, although my system is capable of 1440. I just don't care for the intermittent hickups (airport landing stutters, slower sim start-up times, etc.). I can definitely see the difference in my VRAM usage, too, of which I only have 8gb.
