I just started MSFS this morning. Quickly saw that Online Functionality was switched off. This disabled Bing World Data, Real Weather. Photogrammetry, and anything else. under Data Connection. There was no checking for updates either when MSFS is booting up. Crossing fingers nothing else will get wiped out when I start a flight. Oh, and forget about getting anything at the Marketplace, it is now closed. Now i went to load a flight , and YOUR PACKAGES ARE OUT OF DATE.  came up again. Asobo hasn't fixed squat and this has been going on for some for almost 3 days. 

 

Yeah I know, something must be wrong with my PC....🤓

It is quite obvious you need to 'fix your PC' and you are just 'whinging' and being a 'drama queen'. 
You shouldn't use any add-ons and you probably have something in your Community folder causing all of this, even though Asobo put the community folder there precisely for this reason, you shouldn't use it!

So, there you are, you brought it all on yourself. 
Asobo are also very responsive to complaints and communicate all of the time, but on things like this, there is simply nothing to acknowledge or have any sense of urgency about - MSFS is just great.

Personally, I can't wait for the next update on Tuesday - exciting isn't it!  :biggrin:

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

Lets see my Community folder has only the the JF Arrow and Mooney in it. I guess I will take them both up this afternoon and crash them into a mountain, with default ATC's help. That should solve this problem...

Just started a flight from Honolulu to PHOG.  Looking at the scenery and water it looks like XP. Yuck.....Now what the hell is wrong. I look at the general menu and see that " Online Functionality" has switched itself back off again. I turned it back on and hit save, and the second I did that, the Package out of date popped up again. It will not let me turn on Online Data, period.  I think I am going to put this POS sim away until this dung heap  gets fixed.

It's obvious man. Is your market place closed for business too lol? Usually when that happens it has something to do with the account. Log out and log in usually fixes the problem. I did a short flight yesterday in the c172 to test out the new gtn750 and no issues, no out of date services or whatever. Oh and my market is open lol

Also if everyone is not having the problems, how is it Asobo fault? There are literally hundreds of pc combo

Yes, and if you try to turn on Online data, you can't. The scenery looks like MSFS 95, and no live weather.

Can you get Online Data now? And which account are you talking about, I set this up a couple of months ago and can't remember what account does what. ?

I had online data last night. I'll check in about 30 minutes when I get home 

My MS Store pwd changed yesterday... I was forced to change my pwd so the MSFS stopped working. I logged out and relogged into the store and also rebooted the PC and used the new pwd to loginto Win 10 as well and everything seeemed ok but this morning I see that dreaded popup again. Restarted MSFS now....to see if it would work.

 

It seems to have restarted. And the live data and weather seems to be on too.

Try rebooting the PC. Nt sure why I had this message this morning. I rebooted and relogged into the store yesterday and thought I had done everything I need to do if I change the pwd.

Bob, I just loaded the xbox ap to check for you and all I saw was an update to the ap. Nothing else.

Also, can you please stop degrading XP. It makes you sound very word not allowed.

Thank you.

Theres a whole other thread on this... I can't use the sim now because I get this message and it kicks me offline. Lots of discussion on the main forum too.

Copy and paste from the MSFS forum just now. 

 

Thank you for your reports. The pop-up “Warning: Your packages are out of date.” appears in order to prepare MSFS for the release of the upcoming World Update IV. This message may appear when the sim switch from offline to online mode or requires a refresh of the online functionality. To get rid of this pop-up, click Yes. The sim will restart by itself. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Just loaded msfs. I have not loaded the sim in a week. So far all is ok.

UPDATE

It's back to a stuttery mess. Way to go ASOBO!
