November 9, 20205 yr I was wondering what internet ports FS 2020 uses, and if there would be any benefit if I set up port forwarding in my router for those ports? I'm not really informed enough to understand if there would be a benefit for FS2020, but I found an internet page which supposedly shows the following ports, Quote Microsoft Flight Simulator - PC TCP: 3074 UDP: 88,500,3074,3544,4500 Source: https://portforward.com/microsoft-flight-simulator/ Secondly, would I be introducing a security hazard by opening ports for FS2020? Thank you for all your opinions!
November 9, 20205 yr No benefit at all, as long as you've got UPnP on your router.

November 9, 20205 yr Author Thank you, Tom! One a side note, FS2020 seems to open a boat load of ports and none of them seem to be the ones listed above. https://imgur.com/a/m33CB0e
