Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 sucks up to 180 Mb/s of internet bandwidth while in flight — peak rate equivalent to 81GB of data per hour

At least that install size is light, right?

I don’t have a metered home internet connection, but jesus-christ, who is this for?

    Flight sim is probably the most expensive PC game category except from maybe whaling in certain games for lootboxes.

    A large storage drive is a given for most, even sometimes dedicated drives and its not that expensive these days. It realy isn’t 2000-10’s anymore, storage is incredibly cheap now. Have a main OS SSD + 1 dedicated storage HDD is a given.

    My experience with XP11 is that the barrier is the knowledge and dedication to do custom scenery(ortho) compared to what MSFS gives out of the box. You’re paying quite a premium for MSFS’s convenience and massive coverage.
