Two basic questions plz

Featured Replies

1.  Is the initial release going to RUN on Xbox One?  Asking for a brother who uses Xbox One only and is interested in MSFS.

2.  I still can't tell--is scenery streamed or stored locally, or both?  If the former, is there a monthly sub fee?

Thanks

1. no xbox version at launch

2. This is difficult to answer without breaking the NDA but there is no monthly fee to stream the scenery.

Thanks for that!  Has a required minimum bandwidth for streaming been specified?

In this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZL5PCZO8cc&list=PLHHNa7e7hf9MOgis5vFhf0tjl8QD92KSQ&index=2 from minute 5:35 they explain this. However, it was October 2019, so I don't know if something changed in the meantime, but I don't think so.

Fabulous video.  I wonder if they developed those crisp edged puffy cumulus you see in the real world.  All of the clouds, despite the 370m rendering distance all seemed like the very soft clouds and now sharp-edged clouds.  I hope that changes but wow the entire thing remains so impressive.
