Fuck this sim they said they would never make because 2020 was supposed to just be a live service.

Plus, they didn't deliver on tons of promised things, like multicrew.

Don't buy this, don't trust MS.

Streaming high-res data from the cloud

because the earth is big and you don't have a hard drive big enough to store it locally?

Imagine you would save all YouTube videos on your hard drive. You don't have enough space for that (and time to download anyway). So the next best thing is to just stream those videos and parts you actually watch.

And this is kind of how this game works; it will only deliver those parts and download in the background (which is called streaming) what you currently visit and need. Because you don't have enough space on your drive.

So it's a stream-only game?

Live information from the earth like weather and other data. If its raining in your city, then it will be raining in the game at this place too. Plus the game does not have all other data anyway, because entire earth is too big for your drive.

  1. Weather data does not need 180mbps
  2. You can't disable this?
