    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.

    Can someone help with this

    Hi Vicente, my name is Oskayra Yes, I can help you with this.

    Based on the information you have provided me, it appears that the problem is related to the Microsoft flight simulator installation. It is possible that the simulator installation was corrupted or there is a problem with your console storage.

    Here are some steps you can take to fix the problem:

    1) Check your console storage. Make sure you have enough free space. As I understand it, Microsoft Flight Simulator requires a minimum of 100 GB of free space.

    2) Restart the console. Sometimes, restarting the console can fix minor problems.

    3) Reinstall the flight simulator. This may fix problems with the simulator installation.

    You can also try to repair the flight simulator. To do this, follow these steps:

    Go to your console's game library.
    Select "Microsoft Flight Simulator".
    Select "Manage".
    Select "Repair".
    If the flight simulator is repairable, you should be able to download the aircraft without any problems.

    I hope this information has been helpful, if your problem persists do not hesitate to contact me and I will do my best to help you.
