I don't see why it matters though? You're not gonna be playing the game on your phone with limited data

The next flight aim is gonna lean even heavier into streaming. So not just landscape but also plane models will be streamed. So this is gonna get worse not better

So that's about 15 hours before exceeding your Comcast data cap for the month (1.2TB) assuming you don't use your internet for anything else that month. Then after that it starts costing you about $16/hr to play in data usage alone. ($10 per 50GB)

Are they streaming it to you??

Wait that would actually take FAR LESS DATA

They don't stream a video feed to you, they stream the terrain to you
