It’s starting to get insulting towards my provider.
I’m constantly getting these warnings, mostly during afternoon or early evening. I don’t care if it takes a little longer to download scenery if their servers are struggling if I’m flying in FL240 but I DO slowly but surely lose my patience if that window pops up all the time and interrupts the flight. MY connection is PERFECTLY FINE! I’m downloading at 800+Mbps at speedtest.
Understand. Then MSFS/Asobo needs to acknowledge and fix the issue, because current state of functionality is unacceptable. This has been going on for ~ 6 weeks.
The topic has been ongoing for more than a year at least and nothing has ever really happened. There are times when it gets better, then it gets worse. I personally doubt that it has anything to do with any sim updates but rather with careless work on the streaming services in general. The sim just recognizes something and pushes the alert. It’s not new that Microsoft services are pretty unreliable and they won’t change them for MSFS. But neither the notification with the requirement to actually click on it nor the eventual disconnection from online services serves any purpose for the user and I totally get that people start to get really upset, myself included.
It’s great that it’s been logged, probably “once again”.. But it desperately needs to be not just fixed but removed. There is no need in telling me that my connection is down, my router has a red LED, my smartphone has no wlan in that case etc etc. And there is absolutely no need and use in turning the online functionality off which takes about a minute after clicking on it to turn it back on (!!). The sim could even just show a red triangle in a corner of the screen for 5 seconds and disappear. There are way too many notifications and useless alerts in this sim that make no sense. This is just another one that annoys due to its pushiness and pointlessness.
It’s become a great sim but the user interface and background service is absolutely horrible. I understand that people start looking for external solutions, even if MS don’t like them.
in Germany to.have this a few days now,switchback online sometimes also CTD!!! never have this before.
this Online Services Monitoring show nothing for this,it is useless…
it is cause by MS Servers,wat can not handle traffic i think,no problem if this it not force offlinemode and ctd if switch back…that is absolute no more fun as is.
I can’t even fully start the sim right now (without setting offline) as connection is already lost on the update check…this is getting more and more annoying every day. It has to be fixed as No. 1 priority imo right now.
The last 1 1/2 Weeks it worked well again after a misserable week before where i can´t have one flight without that massage atleast 2-3 times a flight.
Now since yesterday it started again…
Yesterday after 13 Zulu was really bad almost all 10-15 minutes had a “connection lost” so i gave up.
Than tried again at 18 Zulu and no problems what so ever till 21 Zulu where it starts again…
Now today ive flown 2 flights and had it happen 5 times already in that first 1 and a half hour flight at 9 Zulu.
The second flight was an 2 hour flight and got the message like every 5 minutes… so i had to let the setting of in order to be able to finish the flight.
Its strange that i have this the most if i fly from germany over to england.
Had it just in 2-3 flights over spain and france.
If i fly in Easteurope i never had it once
Also the US is still very stable.
So its very strange how things change from one week to another.
FYI i have an 400mbit down and 100mbit upload Internet and live in Germany.
So i don´t think it has something to do with my machine/Internet anymore…
I don’t think it has anything to do where you fly, I just had it with starting up in KIAD, more which servers are used for the connection. I see many from Germany and The Netherlands where this problem is.
Anyway, like I said I just had it with startup in KIAD but now you have the option to ignore. See what’s happening…
It’s getting worse and worse. MS/Asobo are to cheap to put in extra (working) servers. So far I’ve seen the most problems in Germany and The Netherlands. Are there more countries having this?
Same here again. Fix this, Asobo, this is getting really annoying. And change that stupid message saying “Your bandwith is too low” to “Our faulty servers are once again incapable”.
