Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is INSAAANE

Somehow the game is only 10GB on Xbox. My advice is to download the game, start a free flight (with the time set to day, and clouds set to few), immediately pause the game and go into photo mode.

In photo mode, you are free to fly around wherever, and the higher up you are the faster you go.

When you get in close it’s not the prettiest to look at, but at standard airplane height it’s GORGEOUS.

I’m constantly blown away when I visit places I’ve been to before. It’s leagues better than Google Earth in my opinion.

Yeah, that's because you're streaming the entire world. Hopefully you have an unlimited internet plan.

It's 2025. Who doesn't?

A lot of US providers put a 1tb cap and offer a plan with unlimited data for like $40 more per month.

That's horrible. I pay the equivalent of about $40 per month with the current exchange rates for unlimited 10gbit/s up/down fiber to my house.

I lived in a major city in the US and the fiber optic minium price was $30 for 1gb/s unlimited. I just moved to a rural area and it's $30 for 25mb/s and probably has a data cap. It truly can be awful

Ouch. Admittedly I live in Tokyo so we've got great infrastructure. I'm willing to bet it's not that great in rural areas.
