If you are planning to buy this game, I hope you can afford the possible 81gb/h data requirement. Wow that is a lot, you'd certainly need a unlimited connection.

It would be so funny if Americans gets a worse version because of their ISPs.

That would be rather excessive, and no way any data provider, Microsoft included, would afford that for long without an ongoing subscription, if it is that bad.

I remember getting some high-quality third-party addon sceneries for FSX with better-than-vanilla generic tiles, better terrain objects and placements, and local photographic tiles for well-known landmarks. They looked just fine outside local area back in the day, combined with some higher resolution DEM from FreeMeshX. All of them were maybe up to a few GB - certainly not much more than 10GB - each, and FreeMeshX was around 50GB.

180MB/s would be ~650GB/h

it averages out to about 81gb per hour according to the article. but American ISPs will still throttle you even if you have no data cap if you are using that kind of data for an extended period of time.

so yeah, this game is dead on arrival for me. M$ not so smart after all i guess.

So they got it wrong, possibly much more then.

they didn't get it wrong, the article states the 180 MB/s is not 24/7, that's just peak --- usually its streaming much less.

none the less, 81 gigabytes an hr is still enough to make your ISP artificially throttle you.
