Wow, not sure how I missed this one. Has to be a recent thing as the YouTube video only went up about two weeks ago: Picking it up today from Orbx. Shortly after he released CYYJ Victoria (another great package), there was some talk about putting together something like this. As a helicopter and float fan I can only say this is one of the most welcome scenery releases I've seen in a long time. The spots covered - and there are plenty of them - are disappointing in the default scenery, to say the least. Landable Coast Guard ships, sad default heliports brought to life with a high degree of realism, and areas hugely neglected in the sim so far. Great job Roman! Obviously done to your usual high standard.

Obviously working again for a few lucky folks. If it's any consolation, the MS Forum has posts from affected users all across North America and a lot of Europe. So it's clearly not going to be a 10-minute fix. Status update page gave me a chuckle: Outage reported 7/2/2024, 2:07:00 PM It's taking longer than anticipated 7/2/2024, 5:41:02 PM ya think? 😉

Azure (servers) doesn't seem to have any issues reported: https://azure.status.microsoft/en-us/status

Seems likely, their status says "related issues". Well, word not allowed 🙄

Status page is saying they found the issue (just obviously not fixed yet).

Probably related to this thread:

Right, you start some signs, I'll get the pitchforks and torches!

Maybe just something you missed getting before? I tend to check my Store library for updates every day and the most recent one I had for that was June 29th.

Nope, it'll make out like it will launch anyway then hang on the word-not-allowed xbox error.

You neglected to sacrifice any livestock, therefore, no sim for you! Actually the xbox status page updated to show an outage reported and they're working to resolve it. Hurry up guys, much helo flying left to be done today.

Indeed lol. If you ask MS, they feel everything is just peachy! Xbox Status Check this page for details on the status of Xbox features and functionality. All services up and running Last updated 4 minutes ago

Been flying this for a few days now. Set it up the same as all other helos (cyclic axes, collective axis, tail rotor axis, no manual changes to the curves, didn't even look at them.) So I went into the settings yesterday to make sure I had added a tiny dead zone to the cyclic. Discovered there were huge sensitivity changes already there for the cyclic sensitivity (up to 80%) and the rudder pedal sensitivity (50%). Has anyone else seen that? Does anyone know if that's maybe just a normal side effect of them using the updated helicopter SDK? It's so weird that those should be there with a default install and controller setup. In addition, when loading both the Huey and the 205 from the World Map screen, the CG is consistently way, way out of balance aft, no matter how you change the fuel or payload values. Then there's the collective behavior. If you pull enough power to get into a low hover, the helicopter just wants to keep settling back to the ground even if you add power. It's not something I'm used to seeing. Maybe any RW Huey pilots out there can weigh in on all this.

Same problem as the OP - not a lag or delay, can't log in at all. Hopefully it clears up soon.

I thought FlyInside announced they were releasing a new helicopter this weekend at FSExpo, but I can't see any new offerings on their site. Did they actually mean upcoming release?

I'm on 1.1.1 as well. Been using the Contrail app for my updates, and it always uninstalls the older version first. You could try that I guess with Orbx, uninstall then reinstall. But if everything else is working I think it's your bindings, possibly a duplicate.
