Checking for updates? No, we're way past that

It’s Saturday here on the west coast. Who does this on a weekend?

The realism of this sim is astonishing…

In real life, when you finally have a time slot to go to the aeroclub after a week of hard work, there’s often something in the way that prevents you from going airborne, like bad weather or whatever mechanical problem.

This kind of frustration is incredibly well reproduced in MSFS. Well done Asobo.

the bigger the problem the faster the response i suppose?

Ah good. I’m not the only one. Guess the stuff is down on a saturday evening.

I am flying in 2024 without any issue

Did someone trip on a cord or something?

Yep, for MSFS 2020, their servers are down or Asobo added another game breaking bug in their update earlier**

FS2024 career mode is working fine for me:

Yes, seems like something is down. Stuck on the “Checking for updates” here as well. (MSFS2020, PC, MS Store version)

2024seems to be loading

Fixed. Loading and Working are 2 different things :sweat_smile:
Yes, 2024 is loading but it’s so broken (at least for me) that I don’t care to use it over 2020.

And 2020 is not working again. Just another typical Saturday evening.

Same here. The status report on this site shows “Major Outage” for MSFS 2020.

Looks like it’s an Azure problem yet again. Azure SUCKS

MSFS 2024 on cloud was a terrible idea. Terrible launch and continues to be unstable. Awful awful. 2/10.

Me too, I am fighting with MSFS since 4 days now… CTDs every day, despite a high end gaming machine (i9 CPU, RTX4080Super, no overheating…). I am really mad now :face_with_symbols_over_mouth: :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:
