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

At least that install size is light, right?

I👏paid👏for👏the👏whole👏gigabit👏
- Where i live in a capital city of Australia we can hardly get 50mbs for download and upload. Our countries internet is a joke
  
  A country which doesn't invest in its infrastructure while it's wealthy will eventually find itself no longer wealthy and unable to afford to fix it.
You joke about the install size, I’m more annoyed at the constant 1-2hr updates preventing me from playing when I have 20 free minutes.
- For me, the 20 free minutes would be spent setting everything up for this stupid hobby of mine anyway lmfao
- I think they have improved the update system for this one. Install size is also much smaller.
  
  Likely both of those could be much much smaller for 2024 because it’s just streaming the data so the updates and installation size are smaller since it’s all coming in real time while playing instead of having to be installed before playing.
And it's going to be glorious
I mean how would you do the terrain?
So while we're here, is it possible to get MSFS working on Linux?
- On PC, only Windows 10 and 11 are supported operating systems. You may or may not be able to run it on other OSes, but this is unsupported and may not work as intended.

  Well yeah, but has anyone tried it? If not, I'll go and see if I can, because VR flight sims are the only thing keeping Windows in my house.
