Update: The fix is live and you should be able to sign up now on PC.
The Reno Preview is a separate build and a cut-down version of the sim that is about 25GB. Steam users can also sign up as it isn’t required to own the MS Store version.
If you are on PC and can't sign up for the Reno pre-release testing, there is an issue where only Xbox Gold users are able to sign up. This will be resolved in about an hour so all PC users can sign up. We apologize for the error.
Today in #aviation history (October 21, 2011): first flight of an electric multicopter aircraft, the @volocopter VC1. This early eVOTL prototype led to the VoloCity, coming soon (for FREE) to all #MicrosoftFlightSimulator players with the GOTY edition.

October 20th is the International Day of the Air Traffic controller. To all the ATCs out there who route our planes and keep them safely separated -- both in the real world and virtually on networks like @ivaoaero, @pilotedgeATC, and @vatsim -- we salute you!
MSFS server connectivity is now restored. You should be able to use live weather, traffic, and other online functionality. Thank you again for your continued patience!
