Hello Bob and all!

The issue turned out to be my broadband connection, which on Saturday morning began to wither, and then died completely.

Hence disappearing from here for 2 days of "offline" life!

Thanks @bobcat999 and everyone else for your help.

Glad you sorted it, I had a similar issue a week ago and it was network related as well. Below is from a post I opened and shared the fix ......

Basically I was having some network issues, I will expand a little .... I run ad blocking software (AdGuard Home) on a virtual machine running on a ProxMox Server. I have been running this setup for over a year & a half without issues. Yesterday afternoon I talked to my Son who lives about 90 minutes away and he has not had any issues so I started to investigate further. I shut my ProxMox server down and changed the DNS on my Router to point at CloudFlare and then rebooted it. Straight away my load times to the main menu were about 2 minutes & 50 seconds (Before it was taking between 5 - 6 minutes to get this far). Then I loaded the Fenix A320 to gate 10 at EGPH with my normal addons, GSX Pro, FSLTL, SpadNext & the Adaptive Load App. Once I hit the "Fly" button it took a further 34 seconds to load into the Fenix at the gate. Before this took a further 4 - 5 minutes. I also have my ATC audio back as well now.

This morning I rebooted my ProxMox server and pointed my DNS on my router back to the AdGuard virtual machine and the sim and the Fenix still booted up without issues as above.

I guess the moral of this story is Microsoft/Asobo are not always to blame, although the server outage last week did lead me up the garden path a bit lol.

Excellent!  I am glad you got it sorted Bill, and hopefully this thread might help someone else one day.
