msfs 2024 2024 Elephant in the Room

[Rocky_53]

Maybe this has been covered, maybe the 'elephant' has been discussed, if there is info on the forum, then I haven't seen it. SO... one of the biggest issues, IMO, with MSFS2020 has been the constant recurrence of the low bandwidth error message that has been reported time and time again. Has this been addressed by Asobo/MS, or will we still have to tolerate this issue?

All but 50GB of 2024 will be in the cloud. Maybe high mission scores will earn Internet Speed Enhancements?

Think of something that needs fixing in 2020, et voila! It's fixed in 2024. 😜

This will be one of FS2024 new features - long download times.

And yes, ASOBO will have a solution for that: For a „small“ monthly fee you can join the privilege of a high bandwidth download upgrade 🙂

I think it's a regional thing as it only seems to happen to certain areas.

Agreed.  Either that or IP.  I have never seen the error message the OP is talking about.

Actually, I have seen it - but only in screenshots on this forum, never on my own machine.

my only concern is the high reliance on others to provide us with good streaming service ,some of us may have high end hardware and also pay for a good internet  service ( in my case case 500Mbs ) but in the UK if you use Virgin like i do the reliability is about as good as my old Vespa 250 ( still love scooters though) i spent a lot of money getting a really good system to give a really good smooth  image with good fast NVME's CPU's etc , i maybe wrong but with 2024 i am  going to have rely on the outside world to give the image and smoothness i want , tell me if aim wrong i could do someone explaining the "cloud" thing to me gently. 😎

the "your offline " message in the sim happens far too often already ! iam apprehensive

The elephant has been already mentioned and yes I'm very concerned about this being a majority streamed game nearly like Stadia.

Before purchase, I need to hear solid specifics and experiences on how offline play works in FS2024.

I've seen it often enough. It comes and goes. I've assumed it's something to do with my rural UK Internet of 60-70mbps.

This 'Cloud' business is my only anxiety about 2024.

[Fielder]

There was almost a dozen testers flying MSFS2024 at the preview. At the same time!Only a few slowdowns and stutters reported.

Not to worry!😕

Be happy! 😎

My prediction it’s just going to get worse , since they seem hell bent on making everything stream through their lack luster servers.

I've mentioned before about my surprise at how many guys will be jumping into 2024 as soon as is humanly possible. I will wait a while to see what transpires.

I have never seen this once in three years of playing, so I guess that’s how it’ll be addressed for a lot of us.

Wow, I'm amazed. Try putting 'lost connection MSFS' or 'low bandwidth MSFS' into Google, just to bring you up to speed.
