Hello,
here an important info from Laminar Research "X-Plane Service Downtime 21/10/26":
Here is the link to the full information:
https://community.x-plane.com/topic/355-service-announcement-downtime-211026/
I'll quote an excerpt from the information here:
...
You may have seen the news today about a critical security patch for PHP. PHP is one of the most widely used web technologies in the world, and some of the systems behind our online services rely on it.
Whilst we have no indication that our systems are under any threat, we'd rather be safe than sorry. As a precaution, we've temporarily taken some services offline while we carry out security checks and apply necessary updates. We expect to have everything back online as quickly as possible.
...
X-Plane 12 (Desktop): If you've flown recently, you should be able to continue flying as normal. If X-Plane needs to revalidate your licence, it may temporarily start in demo mode until our services are restored. New installations and scenery changes through the installer are also temporarily unavailable. Weather may also be intermittently unavailable.
...
You don't need to do anything. There's no need to reinstall X-Plane, re-enter your licence key, or change any settings. Once our services are restored, everything should return to normal.
...
I think, it all will work quickly as usual...
