July 3, 20223 yr This may be misleading in terms of determining your actual connection quality to MSFS servers. The selectable server shown in the menu (with associated ping times) is for multiplayer. It is not the server that supplies streaming scenery. When running, MSFS establishes multiple TCP/IP connections to multiple servers in multiple geographic locations. I do not usually run multiplayer or live traffic, and I see between 6 and 8 discrete IP connections to various servers. If I turn MP and live traffic on, an additional 4 connections are established. Some of the IP addresses are owned by Microsoft Azure, some by Akamai networks, and one (that is always present whenever I run MSFS) by Amazon AWS. Based on the amount of incoming packets, I am almost certain that the Amazon AWS server is the source of the scenery stream. I believe that scenery (Bing), photogrammetry, Live Weather, Live Traffic, multiplayer, and Azure voice each come from separate discrete servers. The only one that an end user can directly select is multiplayer. I am located on the US East Coast. The last time I a geolocation check on the various IP addresses that are connected when MSFS is running, the Microsoft Azure servers resolved to Redmond, WA and Portland OR, the Akamai servers to New York City, and the Amazon AWS server to Chicago. The Amazon AWS connection does not change no matter what server is selected in the menu.

July 3, 20223 yr Update Interestingly, today (July 3rd) the Amazon server is not in the mix. The bulk of the incoming packets are from IP address 20.42.151.85, which belongs to a Microsoft data center in Washington state.
