Did you try signing out and back in to the Xbox App?
If that doesn’t work, try reinstalling the Xbox app.
Will give that a try. Today was the first time in about 2 weeks that I have fired up the sim.

Neither seems to help ( MSFS2024, Serbia )
Gives “Internet connection required“ after some waiting
Looks like logging out and back into Xbox worked for me, I was able to start the sim and got into Free Flight.

“Internet connection required” is not from this issue.
This issue has an alarm that states “0% Waiting for Authentication”
Check to make sure the sim has a good connection to the net and that no firewall etc. is preventing it.
You could also complete the “Submit a Request” form in the Sim Support tab at the top of every forum page.
That will be forwarded to MSFS support that may be able to help.

Did we get an explanation of what went wrong, and changes made to prevent the problem again?
I sense that many users are not confident of the streaming services. Good communication is important.
In the old days we were very sure that FSX would keep working. It was more reliable.
So much of the world has changed since FSX.
Streaming is now a necessary evil for a good many apps we use today.
MSFS particularly so, as it’s huge size prevents it from being installed on the vast majority of devices, unlike FSX which was a direct installation to disk.
As long as apps are streamed, this type of issue can and most likely will ocassionally occur.
I would argue it does not need to be streamed.
2TB of hard disk are sitting unloved in a drawer. That’s enough for a few favourite airports and fields from 38,000ft.
Used 4TB disks are down to £20.
Give me the opportunity to run without the internet and I’ll prove it.
In Xplane you selectively download scenery by clicking on a World map.
