online services are unreachable

Seems OK in UK now.. but serious problems earlier. Not sure about live weather though as no METARs seem to be available (where they usually is)

Still working fine up in the NE USA. There is even Ice in Cape Cod Bay.

Not working here. Only landclass scenery and no live weather.

There have been a lot of power outages in New England lately with the storm. Maybe that is why METARS were not working for a while.

Had that issue this morning first round. Appears to be ok now. just completed a flight down the western coast.

I am flying now in Brazil, and I notice if I hit the B key, the altimeter reads 29.92, and never moves. Also switching off and on Live weather, makes no change at all, just clear skies. 

 

I just fixed it. On the FS forum it says to go to Online functionality , turn it off and save.. Then turn it back on and save, and now I have live weather, clouds, and correct baro reading.

Yea I believe they have it down.. I can load up the sim but I cannot get any real world weather data. And yea I did hear that theres an update tomorrow supposedly.  Sucks for us Sunday fliers here in the USA.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.  That's an official source lol.

Same here. One day of the week I have the entire day to fly and dealing with this now.

Today every time I try to start MSFS I am told that online services are unreachable, to check my internet connection. However my internet is working OK.  Anyone else seeing this?

Thanks,

Jim

Had the same problem 6 hours ago - but finally live weather and internet connection came back online.

Greets,

Noticed the issue one hour ago. Took longer to get to the flight selection screen and then it had nothing in the world map, as it was offline. I can imagine the kind of mess it'll be produced tomorrow if the WU7 is released in these conditions.

All servers down here (west coast) - can't even toggle between servers.

I just completed a 2.5 hour flight from Houston to Detroit. All servers were working for the entire flight, including Live Weather. (On US East). Everything was offline here though earlier this afternoon.

Toggling online functionality allows me to at least hard-select the west coast server (and pings are fine once connected). Must have something to do with the server auto-selection which is having issues here ATM.
