Will FS 2020 remain connected if "Marketplace" goes down?

[Turner]

Hi all,
Looking to get back to PE.

I guess it's because of the update, but I'm getting frequent pop-ups that I'm offline / disconnected from Marketplace.

FWIW I typically fly with live weather.

Does this affect connectivity with PE?

thanks

No. PilotEdge doesn’t rely on Microsoft/Asobo for connectivity (thankfully…) so you will be fine as long as the issue isn’t with your internet connection.

With the latest PE client, if you are disconnected from the network you'll hear "Disconnected from PilotEdge" audio.
