I always had multiplayer off. But now, if I don’t activate it, it puts me in disconnected mode and doesn’t allow me to connect to any server. This was not like that before. With SU4 you could be connected to a server even with multiplayer off. Is it just me or is it a new simulator feature? [image]

This is one of the undocumented “features” delivered in SU5. What it is really saying is that if you are not using Multiplayer, then you are disconnected from all of the Multiplayer servers. You are still connected to the MSFS servers for non-multiplayers. And the ability to change servers is only if you are using Multiplayer. When I first saw this after SU5, I didn’t know anything about it. I just assumed the servers were overloaded and restricting users. I exited figuring I couldn’t use MSFS…
