• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Major XBox outage. It's not just you!

Most of yesterday afternoon and evening all of the gaming services were off line. The outage map showed nearly all major cities were affected by the outage. I was unable to even launch the sim but instead had a notification pop up saying I needed to connect to the internet. All Xbox services were out for several hours.
 
You know what's annoying? If you haven't run the sim before, you don't even get the popup about connecting to online services. The MSFS icon just does nothing.

And guess who had just reinstalled Windows fresh and thought MSFS must have been picking up something untowards from cloud storage or something and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't run?

Grrrrrrr. Wasted a bit of time troubleshooting because they didn't account for that particular error state.
