Hello @afn,
What kind of notification would be more visible to you? We posted news of this outage in a post in this thread, in the Online Service Monitoring thread, in its own dedicated topic in the News and Announcements section, in a banner message pinned to the top of the forums, and on our Support Twitter account. If there is another avenue of communication that would reach you better, please let us know.
Thanks,
MSFS Team
