MSFS 2020 is now not accessible (10 December 2024)

CDN is an abbreviation for content delivery network. Maybe you find this in wikipedia for more explanations.
Afaik a CDN is used to optimize the content delivery via regional servers which are accessed from the clients of a region instead of requesting one central server.
The info about resource shifting I heard on a YT stream. So its not an official info. I would wish MS / Asobo would show more transparency about their problem solving measures.

Btw I actually can use MSFS 2020. I didn’t change anything. So the reason for the problems should be on the other side.

No problem logging in. But…
After the update, I have an issue with fuel in Career Mode.
I select a Freelance flight mission, and prior to starting, I add some fuel and pay credits for it. Upon starting the airplane, the fuel gauge is at ~14%. It happened twice in a row.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Like yesterday I have actually no chance to get into the Main Menu of MSFS 2020.
It’ is really annyoing !!
Can MS / Asobo not solve this problem ??

Yeah, same here. Always in the evenings. I got in finally, but it took a long time. 2020 less and less playable in the evenings (EU).

No problems here. East Coast USA. Flew my HYPE 160 for 2 hours. Took a quick nap. Just woke up. After all, I am 95.

Today I had no problems any more. By the way, I changed my Router Settings regarding this post:

Low Bandwidth issues with Telekom - Germany only!

Is this a possible Solution? (see details below) in short: [FritzBox DNS configuration] More details: After reading all comments in this thread (and wondering how on earth it could be true that it is up to us (the paying customers) to solve a problem that obviously Microsoft and Telekom seem to have for years now), I made some tests to figure out, which of the suggestions spread over all posts might indeed deliver a ‘solution’. Whereas: I don’t consider what I found out more than a (at lea…

Maybe that helped ¯_(ツ)_/¯

When you’re 95 and you wake up, that warrants some congratulations. Well done.

Same. But it started some minutes later than usual. As I said, we‘re stuck between two simulators. 2024 is broken and 2020 gets less attention from developers and community…

Thank you for this link.
I will try some of the included suggestions as the problem may be connected to my ISP (DTAG) and its peering agreements.
If this is true I can only hope that MS / Asobo (including their CDN provider ) on one side and my ISP on the other side will get an appropiate peering agreement.
I don’t know if MS / Asobo care about those problems at all.

IMHO that shows the weakness of the streaming concept behind FS2020 and FS2024.

DTAG is selling the MS Azure service as a partner. I still do not get how this is working if the service they are providing does have so many issues regarding peering.
