MSFS and Live

Featured Replies

I have read answers to posts concerning the necessity of the xbox Live account to use MSFS.

I have read answers that state the pc version does not require a live account in order to fly solo IE not on their network. 

Is their anyone who purchased MSFS and flies it single player without a Live account? Only multiplayer I might do is Vatsim which is not MS.

The bigger question is why not use an Xbox Live* account? It's free.

My nephew and I and an Army buddy of his (Ex-Navy here) used to platoon on WoT Console. Apparently we did a little too well and a few butt hurt players we continuously beat leveled some accusations and now all three of us are perma banned. 

MS isn't very fair to hear all sides always.  Accused of cheating but all we used were tactics and comms. Period 

So, that's my trouble with XB Live.

Make a fake account, problem solved. 

you do need a live account, else no way to run this.

about ban, i never heard anyone got banned from the live account, you get banned from one game yes, but not form anything else,

unless you maybe really done something stupid.

and the xbox live account on pc has nada to do with the xbox console.

Was it really necessary to create a new thread???
