Real-time scenery downloading

[johnost]

I may have missed it, but I have seen no comments pertaining to download speed and the effects on scenery loading as you fly. I am curious about experiences with different bandwidths, any delays in scenery display? MS lists minimum speed of 5Mb/s (???) all the way to 50Mb/s. I have to increase my internet speed, and would like to get a feel for what is really necessary for smooth operation, realizing of course that graphics and display settings will affect the requirements.

hello

i have 6.5Mb connection, and it runs well, i see no loading issues at all, i do play on low.mid settings tho but with live weather and live traffic .

you have a 1080 ti, so you should be able to play on high settings. i think it depends a lot of the settings how much is downloaded.

why not try it out via de gamepass, only 1 dollar for one month, then you can see how it goes now,

i am doing that now and am very pleasantly surprised how it runs..so i sure going to buy it.

WOW! Runs well at 6.5Mb/s? I currently have 5Mb/s and was not even going to try. However, at my current speed I think the full download would take around 27 hours, which is hard to face. But your idea of testing with the Game Pass is very good.
