Getting this a lot today.
I was not using the mod nor had a modified hosts file (except my own modifications for web-development) and it still gave me the errors described.
Since 6 days now without any issues. The only option which got changed was the above mentioned:
For anyone that has downloaded the Google maps mod and is having issues, try doing this:
-
Use the windows search bar and search Notepad. Right click on it and run as Administrator.
-
In Notepad, go File, Open and then navigate to Windows (C:), Windows, System32, drivers, etc
and open the host file. -
Get rid of:
127.0.0.1 kh.ssl.ak.tiles.virtualearth.net
127.0.0.1 khstorelive.azureedge.net -
Save and exit
Were those lines added by that mod?
I believe so, yes
Xbox hereā¦
Started getting this message after last major update. SIM was absolutely not showing this previous to the update.
This sim right now is the worst ive seen it since Alpha test due to the server issues.. My internet is stable and continuously over 100Mbpsā¦ its bloody awful tbh.
Hi,
I had the issue that i can see in dense areas how the Buildings and the photogrammetry are loading.
The issue can you see in the Video below.
My Bandwith is with 60down and 15Mbp/s fast enough i think. And my Pc is also with a 5800x and 6800xt.
Do you think also this issue is at the server side?
regards legendsy 
Recently I have frequently got the message that my internet bandwidth isnāt enough and hence the sim is switching to offline modus. But my bandwidth is fine. I very rarely got this message since the start of MSFS 2020.
yes

Same here. Since a few days ago.
Also having this issue. Cant connect to servers
I just started cgetting the same issue. Tested my connection and Iām getting 380 meg downoad speed. The only thing I did differently was turn on Dev mode briefly to change aircraft on the fly. I turned it off again after I started getting issues but still have the same problem.
Me too. Another bloody bug
Iām getting the low bandwidth message every flight, despite having a good internet connection. I am so sick of MSFSās problems that I am seriously considering binning it and going to DCS, cos that works like itās supposed to. Itās infuriating that itās telling me itās āmyā bandwidth thatās low, when I know my bandwidth is sufficient and itās not my end that is the problem.
Have Microsoft/Asobo even acknowledged that they need to fix this?
@Fsxlover2, Whatās the file name? Thanks.
Here is what it should look like in windows explorer:
Note, you may have to change āpermissionsā on that folder to allow hidden and system files to be shown.
The file can be edited with a text editor.
Before it can be edited and changed, however, it needs to have its permissions changed from āread onlyā
It could be the case that running notepad as an administrator negates this neccessity.
Donāt worry about the size of the file- Some are larger than others due to customisations of ip addresses/ urls blocked by the end user post windows installation. Spybot Search & Destroy is an example of a program that some users run to edit their āhostsā file to block certain known dangerous websites. As a consequence of this sort of āprotectionā some āhostsā files are significantly larger than others.
Glad itās working for you to.
