I had this issue and FINALLY figured out something that worked for me. It definitely seems this is tied to our Microsoft gamer accounts. I just simply logged out of my account in-game by clicking on my icon in the corner. I waited until the game asked me to log-in again and I picked an alternate account. It was there that I realized everything worked as usual…so I logged out of the alternate account and back into my normal account. And it fixed all my issues linked to my normal account! I will say that my controls needed to be set back to the profile that I created previously (so make sure control bindings are backed up). Also, some of my settings seemed to be reset such as the multiplayer/online settings. So, check to make sure your settings are back to the way you want them. I’m not sure if logging into an alternate account is needed. It might just simply be to log out and back in again. I can finally change my weather mid-flight! Its been months since I’ve been able to do that! Whew.
OH! Also, my ATR setting was greyed out during flight after this fix. So I did the ATR fix that has been posted online of changing the assistance options to “All Assists”/Apply and Save/ then Back to “True To Life”/Apply and Save. And this fixed that issue.
I hope this helps someone out there!
