That was my point… That’s lots of little connections throughout it being downloaded. NOT some case of constant drain for just using it. Obviously it costs to operate but you’r wording made it seem as if that’s constant data deficit which isn’t how it works.
I have made clear I know this but what frustrates me is the constant problems for users with no communication about why or how we can help. People say donate and yes clearly but how do people know to if FlightSim.to don’t make posts calling for it. I’d also add that part of what makes Flightsim.to so popular and why projects like the FBW A320 are hosted there is the free community access. Those who can afford to support them absolutely should but we also shouldn’t be stigmatising / making it a stance of who is good or bad by who CAN financially support such a project.
