Download files locally instead of stream?

Is this a thing/going to be a thing?

Living in Australia this is going to be a constant problem.

Storage isnt a problem, I just want to download the thing and play, not stream it constantly dealing with rubbish texture pop ins and pop ups all the time. xD

Downloading is what streaming is. If you are asking if they are cached so once they are down, you won’t get that message again as long as you fly in the same area. Then yes, its cached.

Once our street finally got the FTTN to FTTP upgrade I went to Launtel so I went from 24mb to a 1gbit connection. It has been some time since our internet really sucked for many of us. Maybe see if you can get the free fibre upgrade. If you can, there is no reason not to do it.

Its a joke man. To read “downloading is what streaming is”. No not the same. The 1st one you had the option to download before you ever got in game. The wording if your correct ..holy Jesus. .. .MS can’t be this stupid. NO ONE that has played the alpha told us any of this?

Nope it is all streamed but once it is in the cache it should be downloaded unless it is removed to be replaced by other files.

I changed the cache size from 16 gig to 1TB in the hope it will stop doing this dumb rubbish. xD

I cant believe they thought this was a smart idea.

Seems like they didn’t add the ability to download content in the latest patch? Can anybody else confirm there is still no ability to download content?

No, you can only do it with community mods / addons right now.

Everything that has been cached like Aircraft etc a lot of that will have to be downloaded again for the patches etc.

Do you have any improvement wirh 1 TB?

Another problem is that there is only 1 chache file for world data and the other data packages. If so, then there should be a corresponding division into 2 cache files.

Moved to User Support Hub that is more appropriate.

Download tab in marketplace does not exist, nor does the download option below. Do i need SU3 to see this? I restarted MSFS2024 many times.. Does it not update automatically…

I signed up for insider and did the rest, yet no update/did not notice a difference, and still no download options.
Uninstalled and downloaded whole thing again, so why don’t i see downloads tab and download options and why is this not a little more straight forward..?
