Microsoft Flight Simulator Platform Compatibility Questions & Answers

This hub clarifies where Microsoft Flight Simulator runs and how its features differ across PC, Xbox and other platforms. It covers console availability, default Xbox controls, peripheral limitations and whether tools such as the MSFS 2024 Electronic Flight Bag can be viewed or controlled from an iPad or another external device.

Account and service compatibility receive particular attention, including Xbox sign-in buttons that do nothing, repeated authentication prompts and MSFS 2020 sign-in loops. The Fly Away team’s answers provide tested troubleshooting steps for account state, Gaming Services, cached credentials, network access and platform restrictions, while separating confirmed support from requested or rumoured releases.
