Same issue here.
By recording the screen while these error messages appear, I discovered the following:
For a fraction of a second the following error message is shown and immediately removed by the FS demo screen:
“This XBox Live Account is already used with another Steam account on Microsoft Flight Simulator. You will not have access to online services until this issue is resolved. Please contact support for help.”
That expains my problem, I just set up a new Windows gaming PC.
This is the typical BrainF*ck we all now Micro$hit for and which they consistently have held up for lots of decades and lines in with tons of similar issues…
-
Why am I allowed to play my license of Flight sim only on one singular computer? Me and both my sons share two gaming PCs, so I want to be able and have to use FS on both PCs.
-
Why is this error message not shown immediately?
-
Why is it covered shortly after beeing shown?
-
Why do I have to launch the other PC to log off out of the MS-account?
-
Why do I have to download 3.5GB of updates only to log off?
-
Why do I have to confirm that download by mouse click if there isn’t another option? (Often I fired up FS, left the PC, because the launch takes allways some time, only to find this software waiting for this dumb mouse click and letting me in return wait for another 15mins until all updates are downloaded)
-
What if that computer hadn’t been available anymore?
-
If they are that strict on that licenses, why don’t they provide a license manager, where I can see and manage which license is being used on which PC?
-
Why does this company still exist? Doesn’t captialism teach us, that a company with that horrific service is supposed to perish?
Needless to say: the problem is still not fixed, even though I logged off from the other PC’s account.
Azebo is doing a magnificent job with their FS, but they really messed up when they decided to partner up with M$. They should have gone for google, which have a way better global map compared to bing, cf. google earth. That would have been awesome.
