Got 60 Mbps down and 4 Mbps up here in Berlin, Germany. Planning on upgrading to 200 Mbps simply because of MSFS 2020. But I guess 60 Mbps should be more than enough for the highest scenery stream settings, right?

It is. You need around 10 Mbps according to my system.

10 Mbps. That;s all?

Probably depends on where you are flying and at what altitudes...? They state 50 for optimum, so that's quite a difference...

Would be great though. While I have a 500Mbit access, I only get this when using a 30m Cat7 cable up to the second floor. If I go via my DLAN which should support 600MBit in theory I am down to 30 to 35 MBit max...

Thanks. I have Xfinity with inhouse WiFi so my computer has no cable and I am getting 30Mbps, so seeing the 10 Mbps mentioned got my attention. There is only one cable connection to the Xfinity main box. All tvs and computers use wifi. I might add that I get 30 with at least one tv and two computers running on line. One running a business meeting with about 30 people on board and mine running P3D.

Could be that more is needed for high level flying or approaching London city. All I can tell you are what my performance monitor says. And even that is braking the NDA.

Just to confirm: I didn´t mean to doubt what you were stating in any way. And of course this is great news.  Was just wondering and speculating at the moment. Maybe I still have a chance for Beta, and if not, well, it´s just three weeks to go and we will know a ton more about people´s experience with internet speed and quality settings.

What kind of router do you have? Does it have QOS settings? If so, you may be able to prioritize your sim machine above all other internet traffic on the network. 😁

Yes, I'll have to look into that.

 

Thanks!

The biggest negative impact for slower internet speeds will be when you actually download the full install or a major patch.  Regular play, not so much.

If you were to buy a 10/100/1000 multi-port switch (<$20) and run a CAT6 network cable from the switch to your computer, you'd be astonished at how much your speeds would increase...

Everything set to highest. I fly on a Full HD only, so I can afford that. 4K would be another story.
