How… do you think we represent physical objects digitally? Vibes?

No one said anything about a digital representation. I can draw Earth in MS Paint and it’s like 1mb.

If your point is that it has a high resolution digital image of the Earth, just say that.

But my point still stands. I’d still rather have a 500GB local install instead of all the problems that come with game streaming.

We shouldn’t have to say that at this point, my initial reply already conveyed that information.

I understand the gripe with it though, they have the option to download areas ahead of time.

(Though it’s probably a one-time download, with models and textures cached for later use)

You sorta glossed over the part where I described how and why your reply was nonsense.

My first reply said it was streaming high-res data from the cloud. Considering it’s a flight simulator advertising to cover the entire world, most people would intuit that would include textures and 3d models.

I’m not going to sit here and argue with you, have a nice day.
