hi Belboz64
Yes, I agree, I was always told the same, for the last sim, and this by the sound of it, that the download/connection requirement was quite meagre considering the speeds we have now … so that leaves the only constant in the equation … Microsoft servers.
I would safely go on the record and say " Downloading " in the UK is a very hit or miss affair for most of us.
Add " constant downloading/ ground textures etc " by every UK user … what could go wrong?
Just checked my speeds in Task Manager for 2020
2020 booting up Sim went to 77Mbps then settled at 10Mbps
At Baltimore Airport 50 to 60 Mbps
At 15000 ft clear skies average 3 to 12 Mbps with spikes
