Thanks - that looks fine - there are no spurious entries that might be mis-directing traffic.

It indeed may not be solvable, though since this particular problem is reported by so few users, it suggests that it could be. So, we try our best with the knowledge that we have. Sometimes we succeed, sometimes we fail.
As for tweaking for enjoyment - probably for the same reason some people spend a lot of time & money getting the best performance out of their cars & boats - itās an intellectual challenge & they enjoy learning new things.
allright, these are some (there are a lot) of the servers the game contacts when running, i would go ahead and see what kind of ping you are getting from them. the last two in particular since they showed up while loading Portsmouth UK
the game runs fine for me, and iām getting a ping of 5 in average with a curious exception of 213 for 20.69.168.145 iām guessing that one is a scenery download server
Perhaps you can enlighten me on something, because networking i am really flying blind.
Thanks so much for your help, means a lot guys!!
When my VPN (Nord) is active, i noticed that google/bing/speed tests/ping tests dont work. The page wont even open up, as if its blocking NordVPNās servers. In game however, once turned on, it gives me a slight boost in data figures (usually showing between 5-175mpbs in task manager). But, am i right in thinking, that other connections (which you kindly provided above) need to be connected to also? Would this blocking of google/bing webpages and tests be causing some kind of blocking effect? Or do these addresses get contacted from the one single data stream i see in task manager?
For end users accesing the internet, the purpose of a vpn is privacy and security. The link between you and the vpn is usually also encrypted which in most cases will result in not higher but lower speeds.
The remote servers can easily tell if they are being accesed by a vpn and may choose not to respond to those requests. So, using a vpn wouldntā be my first choice for flight simulator. Normally it wonāt make your game run better or faster. However, if the link between you and MS servers is slow for whatever reason, it is possible that going through a vpn might result in higher speeds. But this would be an abnormal condition.
I would recommend you ping 20.69.168.145 without the vpn and see what results you get,
Any chance you could check something your end? Ive just looked in task manager, under āservicesā. Right at the bottom is XboxNetApisvc and its described as āxbox live networking serviceā. Is your status ārunningā or āstoppedā?
I ask because i was surprised to see it as inactive (stopped), even whilst MSFS was in mid-flight.
It seems to have helpedā¦ i think, i need to test a bit more, because its tricky to tell whats what nowadays. Thats so strange, mine was stopped mid game? I have no idea if thats relevant, but surely that should be running?
W.r.t. to the four Xbox services (Accessory Management, Auth Manager, Game Save & Networking), all but Game Save are set to Automatic on my Win 11 PC.
However, this is because Iāve manually set them that way, including Game Save. Iāve found that Game Save often reverts back to Manual (Trigger Start) for no apparent reason. I suspect that this happens when there is any update to Gaming Services, but, so far, have never remember to test this out whenever there is an update pending.
The Zendesk recommends setting them all to Automatic - scroll down to the middle of this article: How to fix Xbox Live Sign-In issues. in the section headed: XBOX SERVICES
Your a star helping me, youve been awesome to deal with, very cool. Actually nearly everyone on here has been really cool and helpful, even the mods who have (rightly so far) told me off a few times
Soā¦did some digging, pressing, clicking etcā¦andā¦Mine are by default manual too. But ive changed them to automatic. How are they activated manually anyways? Ive never manually turned them on or off?
