I am considering buying a new flight simulator game to play on my PC, I have no broadband at home and would like to know if hot-spotting my phone my PC would prove adequate to run the game smoothly, please cam anyone help?

Does your flight simulator game come with any specifications for broadband speed?

If you run a speed-test from your phone (speedtest.net is a reliable test), does this reach the required speed?

Hi @Dormouse63

It depends on your network quality and your device. You'll be putting it under strain long term using it as suggested as the battery will drain fast.

Thanks
