Same here in Germany. No connection. But soemtimes after a restart of the msfs 2020 it works again. weird. it seems like a loose contact of the online services. maybe the effect of the newest DDOS attack to Microsoft?.

This has been most Sundays for me since the New Year. The 2nd, 16th, 23rd, now today al had some issue starting with weather down, and now complete online disabled.

I have a similar question, why Sundays? Is this a server load issue or scheduled server maintenance? I’m beginning to not want to plan playing on Sundays now.

i think it servers are overloaded, incomprehensible in a company like microsoft

Rhetorical, or not… I dont know if any of you have ever noticed this or not, but the servers ALWAYS do this the weekend before a sim or world update. And guess what’s due out tomorrow?

It’s been doing this since the game launch

In Southern UK and connection is up and down like a yoyo this afternoon. Seems like a problem for quite a few so down to MS servers again.

UK. The only connectivity issues I am currently experiencing is Azure being down. It went offline yesterday, and the day before that too. Very unreliable service.
