Is there any way to extend idle time in XCloud games like Microsoft Flight Simulator?

João Tiago Ferreira · Aug 26, 2022

Sometimes when we are flying on MSFS, we want, time by time, extending our flights in hours lenght, but something is stopping us of making that, the AFK Time-out...

For games such as Flight Simulator, we need to relax a bit or let the time pass but it is a little bit frustating, at least for me, spending a lot of time preparing the flight, doing checklist, pushbacking, and waiting for departures... And then when we reach cruise altitude, we just want to relax a bit and the game kicks us out.

I even tried to put something in my right analog to just move the camera without stopping but it kicked me same...

So... Is there any way that can avoid it?

unfortunately there is no way to change this configuration, it is precisely so that the servers do not fill up.

Are you playing through the cloud?

So buy Flight Simulator

Xcloud servers require expensive hardware and internet connections to function. You need to oay to rent the hardware if youre not bringing your own through your GamePass Ultimate subscription.

Flight simulator is not playable through Xcloud at this time, and likely wont be till the summer console launch

Domeone is paying for everything, even if it’s “free”

Hello again, this is really weird Tyson, even more so if it only happens with Microsoft flight simulator and doesn't happen with the other XCloud games.

Should flight simulator be added to Xcloud in the future, you would very likely be able to play it via streaming
