MSFS 2024 North Europe and West USA servers missing (6-Jan-2026)

So based off of my communities observation they can not handle multiplayer oddly. Last night we had issue after issue. This is why we always used north Europe for the most part.

Not using Multiplayer but I see also a lot of stutters during flight and on landings biger Airports like eddf. I have this problems since yesterday, based in south germany.. Even with low settings, clearing csches etc I couldnt resolve that stutters. So I think that must be serverside?!

…don‘t know if this is related, but since the weekend I see constant disconnect messages, followed by the green „connected again“ message a couple of seconds later. Very annoying, particularly in VR, where the message floats right in front of my face (and can‘t be moved).

Location: Frankfurt, Germany

Cost cutting exercise most likely. Just when you think performance is spot on after SU4…wham - more issues. Would recommend flying on ‘live players’ for now rather than ‘all players’. Reduces multiplayer traffic and so might help somewhat. But still had a really poor flight today on west Europe.

Huh they earn soooooo much off of the community that would be impossible. Either way a poor choice.

I bet West USA and North Europe went to PS5 :sweat_smile:

Have to agree with the comments , losing North Europe is a shame , best performing server for myself and never had issues with traffic visibility. Now traffic comes and goes intermittently.. and the pings difference was considerably different between north and west Europe for me to always choose North.
Also I feel for the West US users having to use East , decent ping increase and combing a large player base (much like Europe) onto one server.

I assume like others have mentioned that this is either cost cutting or reallocation to consoles, but seeing the sim is going through a massive dynamic shift right now with many players moving to 24 from 20 due to the latest improvements , I do indeed find it difficult to understand why they would consolidate servers.

Hopefully an official comment so as to why

Saving money ok, but then Europe West should be stable and have enough capaycity to handle it!

Is anyone able to use the West USA server? It’s disappeared from my list of Online selectable servers for several days now. If I select “Automatic” it picks West USA but if I start a flight the error appears … no multiplayer server for that area. Works fine if I pick any other server.

Is there a server status page someplace?

Two servers are gone why ?

Plausible. Or Microsoft needed them for Copilot :nauseated_face:

I’m getting Multiplayer errors warnings even tho i now have the server set to Auto, it keeps switching to Northern Europe with 0ms! Well done Asobo/ Microsoft

0 is normally a good thing or?

Not good means it’s down, in this case GONE

0 is the ping. I don’t get a ping of 0 with my home server. So in this case 0 means no ping so no server.

FWIW I can’t log on to West coast. I was wondering why it was so quiet at lax…

I went from 30ms-70ms ping on us west to 90ms to 190ms on the east.
