Silly question time...do MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024 utilize the same servers? I ask this question because my previously lightning fast 2020 installation now won't stay online at all ever since 2024 was released. I know the internet disconnect issue has been around forever and I'm a veteran of the frequent disconnected/reconnected messages. With no changes to my rig or setup, the connection dies as soon as my aircraft loads and stays down until I shut down the sim. The good news is that an ethernet cable solves the problem. I'm just curious if other 2020 simmers have experienced this. Is Asobo trying to push both sims through the same servers? Is this even an legit question? Just wanting to learn...

I'm assuming that since MSFS is in the cloud, that it's planted somewhere in a datacenter farm which by definition has multiple servers and not just one machine or server.

Correct so the chances they are using the same servers as in sharing compute resources is very low however they are probably all shards in the same farm which means there are only so many ingress points so I would guess the issues are with the routes and plumbing more than the computing if that makes sense.

Definitely seems more prevalent since MS2024, not sure how big the crossover between servers there is though. For me disconnect issues started with FS2020 about a week before 2024 was even released. Have had some flights since that have worked fine since then and some not so well, was hopeless when 2024 launched. Doesn't seem to affect streaming bing data into another sim though .. .. 😉 ...
