Xbox Profile Services Outage 2130Z 25/FEB/2021

It’s just too complex, too many dependencies:

  • Bing maps,
  • Azure cloud with Blackshark.ai
  • “live” weather
  • “live” traffic
  • local software with DRM protected content
  • X-box live with all the anti-piracy measures
  • Steam
  • Windows updates
  • etc.

The idea of streaming the entire world scenery sounds great, but all the technology stack is not mature enough yet.

Same problem here. Mallorca Spain.

Both MS and Asobo need to hire qualified technical people to support this environment!

I agree, these problems with the sim are a nearly everyday occurrence. I remember seeing the trailer before it came out thinking how polished it looks. If only we knew then what we know now!

Hi All,

II have just recently re installed MSFS. It’s been working ok for awhile now…but today it wont sign in. Says can’t sign into XBOX…try another account. I only have one Microsoft account. It’s giving an error 8007 or something. Anyone else experience this? It gives me the opportunity to use offline but it also wants me to redo all my settings and I’m loathe to do that. Why would it be blocking me from going online? I have good internet speed.

A lot of XBOX related services are down at the moment…

Did you read the blue message on top of the forums? It’ll explain what’s going on.

Ahh my bad…I just signed on in a panic with out reading. My sincere apologies.

Don’t know what’s going on, I just finished a short flight, no live weather, not a single cloud the whole world.

Same problem here. Can’t sign into XBOX LIVE and won’t come up.

What is this? Can not start MSFS 2020

Same issue

Just checked website confirmed major outage.
It’s Xbox live.

I can not play the sim :cry: :disappointed_

relieved:

Do you think my problem is related to the issue reported in this group?

Very important: I bought the sim via the microsoft store, I dont have gamepass

Thanks for the information.

This is just…why on earth do they have to have Xbox Live service be dependent on ths sim?

Absolutely redicilous, so unnecessary…

I’m flying over Scottish Highlands in offline mode just now. Not as much eye candy as in online mode but still perfectly flyable. Wonder why you’re not able?
