yes but Im currently on 8Mbps and anything above 25Mbps is cost prohibitive.

it looks to me like MS is using its clout to try and get all internet speeds up to a better standard. first they pushed hardware and now its internet. If Elon Musk would stop trying to colonize Mars...  🙂

set their own flight paths, and navigate through unpredictable scenarios thrown up by Microsoft’s Azure cloud computing platform, which leverages artificial intelligence and machine learning to dynamically shift flight conditions.

Doesn't necesserily mean streaming scenery - you might have to download at a cost per city LOL! Lets wait until we have ALL the facts shall we...

However, the streaming technique as such works flawlessly on my 100 MB/s DSL connection

I would think so, that's a very fast DSL connection.  I get at most 10Mbps with my DSL here on a really good day.

I can feel with you. I had a lousy connection until a few years ago, too. MS will have to take care of those with bad connections in some way.

Kind regards, Michael

Mainly because MS walked away a decade+ ago.

Third party add-ons were far less necessary for a great complete experience when MSFS was in the midst of it's prime run with consistent releases and support from MS.

Absolutely not true. REX, FlightBeam, Orbx etc were all born in the FS9-to-FSX transition era around 2006-2007 when Aces was alive and kicking and releasing patches, new content and service packs. They actually thrived well before FSX-SP2 and the closure of ACES. In fact, they thrived even more despite Microsoft’s announcement of Flight and it’s subsequent failure.

If you think that MS are just going to wipe the floor with a sim so full of content that no third party content is needed, then you are gravely mistaken. Why would they open the sim up to third parties and user made content if it is indeed a burger with the lot that needs no extra mayo?

This is by far the main technical challenge for the FS20 team IMHO. All other technical matters (CPU use, GPU use etc) are secondary. Will the game goodies reserved to urban simmers with a fast connection or can they reach most of us  ?
