The “thin client” rework is a great idea to help with load and download times.

Wow!

Some amazing new capabilities for MSFS2024:

  • Multithreaded program
  • New physics and aerodynamic engine
  • Hardware specs to remain “low” (read: accessible to lower spec PCs and Xbox Series S)
  • More core content hosted on cloud, not on user HDD/SSD - faster downloads and more streaming.
