Internet speed streamed scenery question

Featured Replies

Recommended speed is 50Mbps, do you get better scenery with less "morphing" if you exceed that spec?

No.

But the sim will be a lot quicker to download. 😄

So the game is completely bottle-necked to 50mbps?

Edited by High_Alpha

No, it just doesn't need that much bandwidth.

Is there any particular reason you can think of they recommended that specification then? Aside from downloading the sim lol, I'm a bit confused now...

Edited by High_Alpha

I was able to exceed 33 MBps once, but I think that was because another program was using bandwidth without my permission.  Said program is now gone.

The ideal spec of 50 MBps will give you plenty of headroom for extreme situations, and if you exceed it it will let you know with a dialog pop up.

I think the ideal spec is 50 Mbps, not 50 MBps - Big difference!!

At least I hope so or it won't be running very well on my internet 😆
