Dear All,

I'm a happy user of MSFS2020, but I can see the writing on the wall that future developments will be focussed on MSFS (and rightly so).

The main reason why I've not migrated to MSFS2024 is concerned with my internet speeds.

I don't have full-fibre yet (and with no date yet from my provider for the upgrade - thanks BT) and my current internet speeds are:

• 37.32 Mbps download

• 5.48 Mbps upload

May I ask if anyone who is running MSFS2024 with similar internet speeds if you're able to run it successfully?

The greater majority of my flights are with airliners (PMDG, Inibuilds, Fenix, etc.) as I fly for several virtual airlines.

Any advice would be welcomed.

Best regards,

Peter

P.S. I had a major upgrade (graphics card, CPU, memory, etc.) to my PC last year so in principle, I should be able to run MSFS2024 OK.

I just ran a speed test on my system and I am getting 38.28 down and 7.58 up, so pretty close to your speed. I have a solid mid-range system, i4900K paired to a 4070 Super and 32 GB ram. I pretty much only fly third-part aircraft -- PMDG, Fenix, Black Square -- into third party airports and I discern no issues with performance at all. Now, i keep my settings on high, very little on ultra, and I do not try to run with a very high TLOD, but with these caveats I do not think you need to be too concerned with performance, in regard to internet speed. Also, I should say that I do not fly any iniBuilds aircrafts but I understand the are higher on performance than others so I cannot advise about that.

Many thanks for getting back to me. From what you have said, it seems that I should be OK.
