    Microsoft Flight Simulator not opening


    I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times, on both my SSD disk and hard drive. The issue persists.

    Every time I try opening the game from the start menu, I get the message: "Give us a minute. We're updating Microsoft Flight Simulator. It should be ready to use again shortly."

    14 hours later, and another 7 hours later when I reinstalled it and tried again, I realized that that wasn't the case.

    Whenever I open it from the Xbox App or Windows Store I get this error:

    I've tried contacting my PC's tech support but they couldn't help. I also tried asking around in the Xbox Ambassadors Discord and online to no avail. I've tried every single YouTube video I could find. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know.

    :)

    Why I'm permanetly offline on my Xbox?

    Hello Afruzu how are you?

    My name is Ezequiel I'm an Independent Consultant.

    What appears when you try to connect your internet on your Xbox? Are there any error codes or warnings?

    Yes you can play this game offline, however you need to download content from it so you can play offline.

    1-Open "My Games & Apps" on the Xbox console by choosing the "My Games & Apps" tile on the Xbox Dashboard or by opening the Xbox Guide and choosing the "My Games & Apps" option.
    2-Find Microsoft Flight Simulator in the "Games" section of "My Games & Apps". Note: If you are installing or pre-installing Microsoft Flight Simulator, the game will immediately appear in the "Games" section and you can do this during installation.
    3-Open the Microsoft Flight Simulator "More Options" menu by highlighting Microsoft Flight Simulator under "My Games & Apps" and pressing the "Menu" button on your Xbox controller.
    4-In the Microsoft Flight Simulator "More options" menu, navigate to the "Manage games and add-ons" option and open it.
    5-On the Microsoft Flight Simulator "Manage Games and Add-ons" screen, highlight and open "Microsoft Flight Simulator" on the right side of the screen.
    In the "Microsoft Flight Simulator" menu, navigate to and select the "Manage installation to (storage device)" option.
    7-On the Microsoft Flight Simulator "Manage Installation" screen, navigate to the "World - offline mode" add-on in the Microsoft Flight Simulator base game. Note: Selecting the "World - Offline Mode" add-on will install it, while unchecking it will either uninstall the add-on or prevent it from being installed.
    8-After making the changes, navigate and select the "Save Changes" option on the right side of the screen.
    9-Your Xbox will automatically update the Microsoft Flight Simulator installation in the background.

    Right click on Microsoft Flight Simulator

    Choose More>App Settings

    Scroll down to the "Reset" section

    Click both the "Repair" button, and also the "Reset" button.

    Re-launch Microsoft Flight Simulator

    why can't I find where to buy flight simulator x for my pc?

    Flight Simulator X isn't. That is an old game. However Microsoft Flight Simulator is.

    Trouble with digital download of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

    Flight simulator is in your library, open the Microsoft store app and click library or look the game up in the store. Xbox is a platform that covers many devices including game consoles and mobile phones as well as PC, and is the back end network that drives flight simulator
