      I have a sensationally slow internet (yes, it's dial up) and I was wondering how this would effect online play (eg, slower frame-rates, or whatever)

thanks

The only real difference Kevin is that you'll find it hard to fly formations as other aircraft appear to jump around a bit (due to the slower update speed of other players positions). Otherwise no worries. What is your dial-up speed? If you've got 56k you should be able to fly online with a couple of friends without an excess of problems (just shut-down all other processes apart from FS9). However 4 or more players and the lag really starts to show. Also if someone else is hosting rather than you your speed will be better

it's only around 30k, but i'll try sometime

thanks  :)
