Recent Update and Bandwidth Question

Featured Replies

Hi,

I just did the latest update and while in the sim, it said my bandwidth was not enough and was switching to offline mode.  I noticed my scenery changed drastically even though none of the graphics settings were changed.  Is this because it went to offline mode?  I checked my bandwidth and it's at 44MB per second, which should be more than enough. The scenery looks nothing like it did before. Is there a setting to switch back to online mode? I'm assuming some or all of the scenery is streamed and now it's not. I looked but couldn't find anything.  Thanks for any help you can possibly give me.

Best regards,

Of course. All of the scenery is streamed.

In the setting under 'DATA' make sure 'Bing streaming' is enabled (not exact words, but you get the idea). MSFS turns streaming off without turning it back on when bandwidth is sufficient again....

Most of what is said on the Internet may be the same thing they shovel on the regular basis at the local barn.

Not quite.. the base scenery is stored.

That was it, "Bing" had been turned off and needed to be turned back on, now I know should it happen again.  Thank you so much, I very much appreciate the help.  You guys are the best.👍👍

Yes, but the base scenery is really, well, "base". I sometimes see it when I pass a patch of land that didn't have adequate Bing imagery available (often because of cloud cover). It looks pretty awful.
