    Inside 6 Feet game in FSX 2020 unavailable

    Hi guys

    I can't seem to find anything on search about this.
    Basically, when entering the "Compete" menu and selecting Inside 6 Ft, I get an error message every time stating "Inside 6 unavailable, failed to connect"

    I'm connected to the internet, logged into FSX live etc and it just wont start.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Try this...on the home screen click the FSX logo. Turn off offline hours. Leave fsx. Reenter fsx. This is from memory so may not be exact.

      I can pull up that menu and it says Offline hours is on, but I don't know how to turn it off?
      Anyone able to help?
      Cheers

    I’ve also got the same issue, every thing else works fine, I’m on the latest version of FSX2020 and the latest version of all the courses but still doesn’t work.

    I’ve booked a remote session with Foresight support next week to see if they can sort it.

      Same issue. Also on Custom CHALLENGE, the Glass Obstacle when enabled no longer shows, MARG if you could mention that in your support session.

        Roacher24s resolution earlier worked for me.
        Click on the FSX logo on the start screen and click deactivate to tuen offline hours off..
        I then exited FSX and started it again.
        I am now able to play inside 6 feet
        Should I be able to play all these courses though? I do have most of the courses mentioned if not all?
        But they seem to be locked apart from the first one.
        Do they unlock themselves as I go through each one?

          Scratch that, since I reopened FSX with offline hours deactivated, I'm not able to connect to Inside 6 ft.
          Be great if you guys get a resolution from Foresight.
          Cheers

            It seems they bring out an update which then knocks out other features, if enough people complain it gets fixed quicker.

              Is there a solution to this yet?

              Inside 6ft was one of my favourite things in FSX2018, and I haven’t had it work in FSX2020 yet. I’m mainly playing outdoor golf since it’s summer and light nights in the UK... but the few times I’ve loaded it up, it’s been unavailable.

              I find it particularly useful for finding my distances with my wedges... and am really missing it!!

                I had this same issue recently and had to ensure offline hours were off to get it to work. I’ve read others ensuring that you have foresight sites in your exempt firewall list.

                  Played Inside 6 feet earlier today in the USA. I'm a newbie so I only finished the first three events.

                    There appears to be a authentication issue with the token. I've found that if I log out and then launch Inside 6ft it will prompt for your login. Login that way and you should be good to go.

                      Got it - offline hours was on. Switched that off, quit FSX, then re-opened.

                        Ive had the exact same issue and that works for me too. If you are already logged in, it never works for me.
