About Microsoft Flight Simulator

Microsoft Flight Simulator is a 2020 flight simulation video game developed by Asobo Studio and published for Windows and Xbox platforms. It belongs to the flight simulation genre. Official sites: flightsimulator.com and asobostudio.com.
Microsoft Flight Simulator is an online-connected flight simulation game, so many of its features depend on Microsoft's servers working as expected. When something goes wrong, the usual suspects are login trouble, streaming data that fails to load, or the game's website being unreachable. This page tracks reports from players so you can see at a glance whether others are seeing the same thing.
Microsoft Flight Simulator, released in 2020 and developed by Asobo Studio, streams a large amount of data from the cloud, including world detail, weather, and air traffic. That architecture means gameplay, login, and server connections can each fail on their own. A broken login screen is usually an account or authentication issue, while missing scenery or endless loading tends to point at server-side data problems. Common symptoms include being stuck at the sign-in prompt, slow downloads, blank or greyed terrain, and disconnects mid-flight. The official website can also go down separately from the game itself, so a working launcher does not always mean everything is fine. Before reporting a problem, check your own connection first. Restart your router, confirm the game and launcher are up to date, and try signing out and back in. Disable VPNs or proxies if you use them, since they often interfere with authentication. If your internet is stable and the issue persists, the cause is more likely on the server side.

Questions

Is Microsoft Flight Simulator down right now?

According to reports on this page, Microsoft Flight Simulator looks fine for most people. Isolated failures still happen — report yours if you are stuck.

When was the last mass outage?

We do not have a recorded mass outage for Microsoft Flight Simulator yet.

Why does the game hang on the loading screen?

The simulator streams world data from online servers, so a hang at loading often means that stream was interrupted. Check your connection, then restart the game. If others are reporting the same thing, the servers are the likely cause.

Can I play offline?

Some content is cached locally, but core features like live weather, air traffic, and photogrammetry scenery require a connection. Offline mode is limited and may behave differently depending on your version.
