Flight Simulator 2020. The content access server not available

PlácidoLibânio F. Telles · Sep 17, 2020

Good morning,

Could you help me, please? When I start Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 from the store, I receive a follow message:

The content access server is not available, wait some minutes.

I waiting for it for 9 hours.

What I already did:

1) disconnect and connect my Microsoft account

2) Windows 10 up to date (Release 2004)

3) MFS2020 release 1.8.3.0

4) Change my DNS server to Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)

5) Shutdown Firewall, antivirus

6) My Internet has 100MB (optical fiber - shutdown wifi and connected by wire)

Help me please

Placido

I had the same problem. It worked after I started MSFS with XBOX app and when I got the error switched back to XBOX app, logged out, not closed, and switched back to MSFS and tried again.

SOLVED - Great work around. Thanks for the help, this fixed my problem. For those still trying to understand once I received the error I tabbed over to the Xbox app, signed out, left it open and then went back to the open MSFS2020 and tried it again. It then
asked me to sign into Xbox App again and after that VOILA! it worked.

It's the XBOX app you get with Game Pass.

Even with the firewall disabled, for both public and private networks I still get the same error. Submitted a ticket on Zendesk as well.

I actually am now doing a complete reset of my pc and have started downloading ms flight 2020 once again. I'm at 20% now for the past hour. This game is a disaster. I think their servers cannot manage the traffic or something
