Internet connection
Caution
The simulator needs an internet connection. MSFS 2024 streams world data, so each station needs 50 Mbps or more. Connectivity, storage and current platform requirements are checked when the installation is planned.
If several stations share one connection, size the link for the total: for example, three stations need 150 Mbps at the minimum rate and 300 Mbps at the recommended rate.
Storage
Keep at least 100 GB free on an SSD for MSFS 2024, the airport digital twin, the vehicles and mission data. Installing on a mechanical hard drive causes long loading times and scenery pop-in.
