Miahflyer Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Hello, I am wondering that the game MSFS2020 is supposed to be working without Internet (off line). But recently I had problem with Internet - internet was down for some time and during this time tried to play the simulator but it would not Launch, I tried a few times without success. Although I own the simulator with DVDs I did not buy it either from steam nor MS STORE. If any body please let me know is there anything wrong with my installation or is it that you must have internet connection to play the sim?. Thanks.

g7rta Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Hi, I presume you know about disc 1 having to be in your dvd-drive when running it? Just a thought. Also, where did you actually buy it.. presumably a reputable company like Aerosoft?

g7rta Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I don’t have the disc version myself but I’m guessing you still had to create an Xbox account.. have you tried logging out & back in? Maybe check the store for updates?

tiger1962 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Only the Steam version runs without an internet connection. The MS Store and disc versions both need an internet connection to launch.

Sent from my KFDOWI using Tapatalk You sure about that Tim? I’ve never tried it myself, but I was thought all three would work offline.. only you have to set it up first. I think you’ve to launch the sim online but can then disconnect the internet once you’ve got to the main menu. Something like that.

Regards Steve Yes, there are a couple of threads on the flightsimulator.com forums on this. Those who have the Steam version say MSFS will launch without an internet connection once that option has been selected. Everyone else (including me) gets an "unable to connect to content servers" error message. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."
