It would depend on how far, and how fast you are flying - in other words, how much new scenery has to be loaded. If you spent an hour doing circuits around your local airfield, there may be very little new data that would have to be streamed if you stay in the same general area. If you flew 300 miles in one of the jets over the course of an hour, it probably would consume a lot more.

You also have the option to "permanently" archive specific scenery for future use. One decent example of this would be the scenery around your personal choice of a "home airport". *NB: First In First Out This is how it works in the tested version AFAIK. Useless for me if carried over to the release. What people with low and unreliable bandwidth want is to be able to download a route or a region during the nigh without actually flying it and then do later the flying from the cache. And build up a library of savings. Useless and absurd. You need to fly a region to save it when you save it because you can't reasonably fly it ? I miss something here 😏. If FS20 doesn't do that, I will wait to get a better connection to move to it.

As excited as I am for the new sim I am (I must admit) not a fan of photo-scenery This is a literally a photo-scenery based sim. If you fly it, you're going to have to get used to the problems with this scenery type. Offline mode is not a feature, it's something to use if you just can't get an internet connection. I'm interested (but not dismissive) of the fact you dislike photoscenery so much, as that is the only thing I am willing to fly over, and this has been the case for many years!

August 16, 20205 yr I suppose that flying from Port Moresby to Madan or Juneau to Skagway is a couple of MB only 😁 Dominique Simming since 1981 - [email protected] GHz with 16 GB of RAM and a 1080 with 8 GB VRAM running a 27" @ 2560*1440 - Windows 10 - Warthog HOTAS - MFG pedals - MSFS Standard version with Steam
