Help! Can not connect to Flight Sim X!

I have the same problem tried as you said disabled firewall everything still unable to play the multiplayer part of the game i have never had it going.

Yeah it gives me the same message "cant connect to gamespy"

Same here, it worked for almost a week but since yesterday evening it doesnt anymore? tried to login on Gamespy Arcade and no problems there, just FSX.

Anyone else has this problem or does everyone connect fine?

Since last nite I can't connect either.
However I did manage to create a new gamespy account ???

Maybe they are fixing the problem with people sending multiple "can I add you to my friends list" requests that makes flying on a public server almost impossible. (On second thought that's way to optimistic.)

no connection in norway either...

same here it was working fine since last night. never had a problem since release up until now 😞

I cant connect either, is anyone else getting this;

Unable to connect, Please try again later

I can also make a new account.
So Anyone got any ideas why this might be happeneing

It's happening to me too. The servers are probably down or something...

at least i m happy to see that i m not the only one to have this problem . it doesnt depends of my network/computer .
good

we just have to wait ...

i managed to connect yestrday during some minutes at 4H20 GMT+1

hope ...

hi guys,

i was on multiplayer last night, no problems! however i tried to connect tonight and get the message "unable to connect, please try again later"

i will presume that due to all of you having this problem that its a worldwide issue with the gamespy server and not with my PC.

good to know im not the only one

btw im in the UK

cheers

I'm getting the same problem aswell It was fine yesterday!

Still down for me at 2128 in the UK

This is stupid, I pay £60 for a Flight Simulator and I expect it to work... not hae to wait for their flipping servers to cope!

Correction, it seems to be up again now 😀

I just realised that this whole topic, apart from me is answered by guests....

Not that it is really important, I just found it funny.

Grrr I can't get connected either

same shit here...

See 😂

it aint the server as a few ppl can connect any more ideas

Has anyone tried remaking an account and seeing if that works?

As of 9th November 23:15 Eastern Time (05:15Z) my attempts to connect with the server have changed from try back later to
Unknown Error 02000007

I wonder if we are any closer to getting back to flying?

Any word from MS or Game Spy?

Well .. right now im flying the hawaii mission.. LOL its amasing what you find in this simulator when multiplayer is not working. Havent seen any thing from gamespy or such nor on any FS forum sites accept a few messeges similar to here. Will check shortly and advise if error message is different now. BRgds moT

Im IN.. See Ya

Anyone connected today?

yay I am in! woot

i had the same problem around the same time as everyone else but as from today it is working again and i haven't changed nothing so must of just been a gamespy problem. anyways i'm glad it's working again.

try it now it works for me

Hi,

Bought Flight Simulator X Deluxe and the first day I installed it I was able to connect to multiplayer and it was good.

Now, no matter what I do I can't connect. I disabled my firewall, and nada.

It's been almost a week since this happened. I can create new accounts, so I suposed gamespy is working but the game just won't work it says:

The network was unable to connect.

Help!!

Hee everybody!!

I bought FSX Deluxe last week, and when i try to sign in with multiplayer it says: Network was unable to connect!
Now i read something about opening ports in your router. Well can somebody explain me how this works??

joris

Turn your virusscanner off and see if it makes a different...

Hi i got same problem in finland!

But my FlightX says: unknow error 02000007

What is problem, anyone knows? ❓

Hi everybody,
Yesterday I couldn't download live weather data so today I've tried "reparing" FSX as my connection works as usual. My surprise is that now I'm still unable to download weather but also I have the 02000007 error while trying to connect Game Spy which yesterday worked....
It's because having "repaired" FSX, could it be related to weather data downloading problems? I feel really lost as 2 days before everything worked just fine and suddently.... ?¿?
Anyone in the same case?

Yesterday i could play online and download "real world weather" now i cant. Online says "Unknown error 02000007" and weather say "check your internet connection bla bla bla" i hate Gamespy. I hope it gets fixed soon!

yea anyone whos getting the 020000007 error, this is connected to the storms in seattle, and we may not see multiplayer for a couple of days

turning off McAfee worked for me. REALLY weird. but thanks for the tip.

hvyhitter,

Thanks, you have just helped me get multiplayer working after months of frustration!

Rather than turning off McAfee, open up the VirusScan Console and double click on Access Protection. Edit both items called "Prevent IRC Communication" and enter "fsx.exe" into the Excluded Processes box.

FYI, this solution is for McAfee Enterprise 8.

Check your firewall, router or anti virus.
