Absolutely Angry right now. Literally uninstalled the game and lost most settings and the game still won’t launch. Never going to buy a game off Microsoft Store ever again… I should of waited till it was available on Steam…

Ditto for me in California. I was actually going to reinstall the sim again but seems it’s a server gremlin issue. Line up and wait.

I have learned to check the forums before uninstalling, just to see if it is a server-side issue

Crazy thing is I check Xbox Status page and it says everything is all good and searched forums and didn’t see anything till now with this post now showing on top on google…

Just started happening tonight 8 est, just got home from work. Win 11 , No Beta sign up, signed in and out of xbox live ect . Two different errors.


I’m on 10, no Beta, but not the Steam version. I wonder if that’s the distinction. Any other Steam users can confirm?

I must’ve been lucky. I launched the sim around 2250z and loaded up no problem. Currently enroute KAUS-KIAD. Not in the beta,windows 10, store version. What is strange is I got that same message a few days ago when I tried opening up the standard calculator. ended up having to redownload from it windows store

Same here my friend. Just wanted to fly during this storm since everyone is stuck in for the rest of tonight where I am at, Central New York.

Also, I am a die hard Mac/Apple product user.

Just bought PMDG Boeing 737-800 and can’t even play :sob: hopefully can soon
