Same issue here, it’s been a problem for me since day 1, all multiplayer elements work fine like weather, AI, and the challenge leaderboards - it’s just the multiplayer options in free flight are greyed out and nothing changes that
Steam user
500mb internet
No MSFS2020 addons
Windows 11
Things that I’ve tried:
Reinstalling the game deleting all residual folders,
Clearing the cloud save and starting over,
Signing in and out of Xbox app on windows,
Loading into a actual flight and trying to change settings,
Trying a workaround in another thread (to move the live time slider),
Making sure I’m online and not hidden or invisible in both Xbox app and steam friends,
Trying different in-game servers (east/west/eu),
In-game I can see my Xbox friends on the top right corner so it’s clearly connected, it’s just that no matter what I do the multiplayer options stay grayed out, hope for a fix
(Picture is taken with a camera so it might not show clearly its grayed out like in OPs post)
