You can easily change servers, click on your Xbox gamer profile icon and it will tell you what is available. No VPN required. As the problem is probably a specific MS server at a given time, this is the logical thing to try if you’re getting disconnected. It would be good to have some decent offline scenery available for times when this is problematic - something like Orbx TrueEarth. It seem that, for many of us, this problem got worse after the recent SU. Hopefully there’s something on the software side that can be addressed, and Microsoft also gets more serious with its server hardware.

March 28, 20233 yr I'm not sure why folks can't understand that the server select option is only for multiplayer. All other MSFS server activity is on load balanced regional servers. sp

On the other hand, if I forget to turn off my VPN, it always times out the scenery in MSFS. Set up for a longhaul flight only to find that the sim that never truly pauses, truly does pause when this error comes up. I was not happy.

March 28, 20233 yr 23 minutes ago, Bert Pieke said: That is only if you experimented with Google scenery in MSFS.. Yes, you're right. My comment (and my earlier ones) were based on a troubleshooting guide on the MSFS forums. They recommended changing the server (if not local) as the first step, using an ethernet cable as the second step. On reflection, I'd concur with your thoughts that neither of these steps is likely to be useful. Zendesk suggests the following. For those who haven't used Google Earth, step 5 may be worth trying. I don't think removing all addons and peripherals is a viable solution! ISSUE CAUSED BY 3RD PARTY CONTENT 1. Restore Bing Maps and undo any modification made to your host file. To do so, read the add-on's documentation and follow the add-on creator's instructions. 2. Restore the sim to its vanilla state Here are the 5 steps to quickly restore the sim to its original/vanilla state: Move or rename the community folder Uninstall freeware, payware and peripherals Delete the Content.xml file and .dat files Uninstall paid and free content from the marketplace Delete the rolling cache Oz Sim Rig: MSI RTX3090 Suprim, an old, partly-melted Intel 9900K @ 5GHz+, Honeycomb Alpha, Thrustmaster TPR Rudder, Warthog HOTAS, Reverb G2, Prosim 737 cockpit.

I tried several times to load the new version of the Google scenery and couldn't get it to work, so I uninstalled it. The uninstall probably left their host provider in my file, so MSFS couldn't load it's content. Just my thinking. Now that I think about it, I started getting the low bandwidth messages right after that. Thanks, Roy i7-10700 CPU @2.90 GHz, 32 GB Ram, nVadia GTX1660ti, Samsung 1 TB SSD Drive
