Are MS Servers Down?

[Millingp 40]

Doesn't appear to be connecting to servers and I can't change server - just says Automatic with the circle thingy spinning.

Noticed this on a flight just now and the ground textures were rubbish - so nothing was streaming.

Looks like they're Ok

Nope, not for me.  Tried a PC reboot and it still won't connect.  Marketplace is greyed out which is a sure sign no server connection.

What's happening now with this thing!!!

I'll pack it in for today and maybe it'll sort itself out overnight.

Fine here flying down the Bahamas on Europe West. Just landed with Bing tiles all good.

Well, what a faf!!

Woke up this morning hoping the good fairies had fixed my problem overnight - but no such luck!!

Tried all the various ideas found on Avsim (short of reinstalling MS2020) with no joy.

Off to some Mr Google research and found this:  https://flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016892819-Access-to-the-content-servers-is-currently-unavailable-error-message-Microsoft-Store-version-

Followed it to the letter and BINGO we're all good to go!!

All now well again.

The sim connected for me yesterday evening, but Icoyldnot get live weather.  When I clicked on it, it just defaulted to clear skies.
