In my own experience, Flight Sim has streamed in 11.23 GB of data. That said, having an internet connection (and a decent one) is integral to keeping the world around you constantly refreshed with new satellite/modeling data, real-time weather, and real-time traffic. No consumer storage device out there is big enough to house literal petabytes of data. The 150 GB install size of Flight Simulator pales in comparison to the sheer amounts of data the sim streams over the Internet to build the virtual Earth that you fly over. In my defense, when I gained access to the game I had not yet shuffled around my files on my main SSD. Apparently I don’t have a brain though, so I initially installed it on my HDD. With all of that data to unpack, this should be a no-brainer. It’s all about locationĪs stated earlier, Microsoft does happen to recommend you install Flight Simulator on an SSD. Case-in-point, you’re going to need to give this game time to get itself ready. Alternately, initialize the download at the beginning of your day and by the time you get back, it should hopefully be done. For instance, you can start it right before turning in for the night, and it should be done by morning. I highly recommend starting your download and then leaving it be for awhile. Thus, assuming you don’t have something like a gigabit connection, then there’s a good chance you’ll be waiting a little while. Under these conditions, it took a whopping five and a half hours for the entire download and installation to be completed. My laptop is connected to the internet via a 5 GHz signal with speeds that range from 70-90 Mbps at any given time. ![]()
