Update: All Platforms are correctly loading in now, reboot if you haven’t and you should be good :slight_smile:

Just wanted to hop on to the Sim and see the sim is down on PC, Xbox, and PS5 currently showing a Server Issue Detected and an error code of 001-401

Trying to connect from the US if you need that information as well!

Hi folks,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I can confirm that I’m also seeing the same error message when trying to launch the sim. We’ll get this escalated to a support team for resolution as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience as we work to restore normal service.

Thanks,
MSFS Team
