I know Microsoft says a 56 kbit/s connection is required to play FS2004 on the internet but as well as for the minimal configuration I guess it's a little underestimated. So I'd like to know if a 256 kbit/s connection's enough Roll Eyes

. I'm planning to join a multiplayer session next week-end (my very first one, I'll follow eno's good advices and see what happen Tongue

) and I'd die of knowing it is not possible Cry

. Well, I won't tell you everything about my life lol, I'd just like to know if my dreams (with lots of clouds inside Tongue

) won't get broken.

Cheers

With that connection i think you will do fine.
There are a few people that use 56k dial up and its not much of a problem.

Hope to see you online sometime

falcon,

Fozzer here flys multiplayer with a 56k dial up connection all the time and seems to do OK. I found occasional lost connection or slight "stutter" issues when I was on dial up.... but nothing you couldn't not live with.

best,

As John B (above) mentions, I have used a 56k dial up modem for many years now with no problems at all during Multiplayer flights.
Also the fact that I don't use a ROUTER and therefore no PORT problems, and do not have Service Pack 2 installed which means I don't have annoying FIREWALL* problems either...
To date I have never been rejected during a flight...
...and connections are instant...8)...!
...and my frame rates average 25 FPS...(Locked at 25)...!

Cheers all...!

Generally speaking, in MP low latency counts more than bandwidth, since only a limited amount of data is exchanged.

Thanks for your answers, I'll see that in exactly one day anyway. I Hope everything will be working fine for my first MP flight.... I know that nothing never works fine when you do it for the first time but I hope this time it will Tongue

. I'm really looking forward to beeing on the servers.

Many thanks again, I hope to see you soon on SimV servers Wink
