MSFS 2020 won’t load. Server issues?

Featured Replies

I have tried everything but MSFS is stuck on the load screen.  I am near Washington DC. Are you aware of any server issues?

I also purchased a couple of add ons from the market place but they won’t down load. Is this a server issue or is my sim broke?

No issues here...just finished a 3-hour flight without a hitch.

I installed the google mod enhancement mod and started having connectivity issues. Basically, my sim does not connect to the internet. I can only play it offline which looks dismal.

 

what else can I do besides re- installing it?

Try it again tomorrow.  Reinstalling won't do anything to resolve this issue.

Uninstall the map mod, some systems have trouble with that mod. 

 

 

 

Just had another hovering exercise here, no issue at all. MSFS 2020 has arguably been smoother since the release or MSFS 2024 😄

FS2020 will not run for me today.  Sticks at "Updating..." screen and will go no further.
