Ugh, I was just on approach to Toronto when I noticed no PG data. So I check the settings, all online functionality on, but greyed out. I check my status, off-line, without an option to sign back in or connect to server. So I press sign out. BIG MISTAKE.

That threw me out of the game to an xbox live sign in screen, which then loaded up some setting screen with a screen narrator that won’t turn off and an error message can’t connect to authentication server.

Now it’s been loading who knows what for the past 10 minutes.

I’m really starting to give up hope with this game. The approach was a mess anyway, the plane turned around again after getting an approach assigned, and the auto pilot took many ‘liberties’ as well at take off.

It seems to be stuck loading, progress bar halfway, not moving.

This is how far I got to Toronto

I guess it’s dead, not responding, just that annoying loading music blaring. PS5 tonight, FS2020 is not worth the aggravation it brings every time.

I just did the Sim Update to 1.20.6.0 and it worked fine for a little while but now I keep getting the message
 (on PC)
Online services are unreachable. Please check your internet connection.
Someone, please help.

I am also experiencing the same issue, sim worked fine this morning when I tried to play, now it seems the game won’t connect to the servers. I heard there are some issues on Microsoft’s side of things. Hope they get it figured out! All photogrammetry wont load, the world is just an endless procedurally generated mess! I swear every time I get all my peripherals hooked up I can’t play the game due to some bug or issue. MSFS can be very frustrating sometimes! Especially when you just want to relax and fly. Something always seems to come up.

Right now, I was about to relax on a short flight Ops! Offline services, check your connection. My connection is fine, and your server can say the same = ??? Please fix these issues.

Hello! I don’t uderstand what’s going on
 I’m thinking that the servers are dead, because I have same problem with connection. I checked my internet and reconnect it to be shure, that it’s not this problem, but the sim still have no connection to servers! ^((( Pitty
 Microsoft and Asobe Studio or people again have broken something! ^((( I updated, but after that - no connection and my sim still trying to connect - no connection at all! Something happend bad
 ^(

maybe no one sees it but it’s at the top of the forum


I hope! I saw it!
