Using iPhone HotSpot as internet connection??

Featured Replies

I was at ground zero for hurricane Ian (Punta Gorda) and still do not have any Xfinity/Comcast cable connectivity.  I do have a 5 to 6 Mbs LTE connection thru ATT/iPhone.  I setup the iPhone to be a personal HotSpot and Windows recognizes it as such. 

Windows 10 recognizes the iPhone-USB-PC connection as Ethernet 4 and everything works as normal - just much slower than my 600Mbs Comcast cable(which is online three blocks from here but not in our neighborhood)

However - MSFS says I am online and I see it talking to the internet via Ethernet 4 but nothing loads and all my scenery is just dismal offline stuff.   MSFS also shows I have no connection to Market Place.  Options/Data does show I am online.

What do I need to do to get MSFS to use the Ethernet 4 connection to load tiles?

Google Map Enhancement crashes to desktop if I try to use it.

This message is being entered thru Chrome on the PC and Chrome shows a 6 Mbs connection.
