You have quite a few words on loan (lån) from us that we come to recollect! We jump into the longships now and might arrive on Torsdag or Fredag! 🙂

Fyfaaaaaan! 🤣 (Hasn't made it into English but it really should, maybe you can bring it with you this time?)

How did this thread about a high quality A320 addon divert into a conversation about whether MS will support satellite imagery more than two years? 😄

Not much newer than you. 😛 I am actually surprised that certain "MSFS is a toy" users are so silent... or maybe it's cause some of them are on ignore... well... 😄

Oh no please don't wish them to come back, it is too much of headache to argue with them 😅

Oh, give them time. They’re just regrouping while they move the goalposts of their arguments.

I know how it'll run down:

It was the same with MSFS when it was announced. Everyone claimed XP & P3D are done. Now look at where we are. MSFS is a screenshot simulator that flies like GTA. Same will probably apply to this Fenix project. All just marketing hype.

Oh well... and here I go. Complaining about diverting the topic and then contributing to it. 😄

So, I guess, this is where pilots are putting their keys before starting :

Out of 200 millions of Windows 10 users and about 1 billion of all Windows versions combined ? Pittance, basically a rounding error... 

Not to mention they are most likely leveraging virtual compute and just spin up as resource requirements scale.  Considering they own the virtual compute environment (Azure) as well as the DC's to your point it is a rounding error. 

Thinking they will cut off streaming in 2 years is ludicrous considering the exponential bandwidth and computing scale growth transpiring right now.   If anything even more will be streamed "OnDemand" or cloud hosted in 2 years.  What a ridiculous random speculation.  What else can we pull out of thin air for potential reasons why MSFS will fail?     There is a FAR higher likelihood another sim gets pulled from the consumer market altogether and returned to strictly commercial customers than MSFS shutting down streaming if we are makin gup random speculations.

Google earth has been in business for what - nearly 20 years? Providing high quality satellite imagery for free.

It is a fallacy to think google provides anything for free. You just don't pay them with your money.

Google Earth has been running for almost 20 years is my point.
