When someone makes a number of points without once stating "on the other hand" you KNOW there is more to the story. 

All these points are advantages (as I have clearly said). A list like that was missing because since MSFS2024 shipped, everybody just seemed to highlight the disadvantages. The condemning tone against streaming often came across a bit uninformed. Before people quickly dismiss the new approach (which everybody will be free to choose or not in the near future), they should at least be made aware what they miss. Every single point I mentioned is a hard advantage of the new architecture. People should know these before they decide against it. And these points certainly underline, why for a many the advantages of new architecture are outweighting the disadvantages.

Also, don forget, MSFS 2020 was a larger step in this direction than MSFS 2024 is. So praising MSFS 2020 as the "good sim" streaming wise is a bit silly.

Well he basically just summarized everything Seb said in the Developer Q&A.

True, and I also would agree, that they did not the best job in explaining these advantages upfront so people would be able to see better what they get from this new approach.

Not looking to argue at all just one question to your point.

Do we "know" when we are able to download library items if the sim will still run if your internet connection drops or will it continue to pause? 

I don't expect you to have the answer although awesome if you do 🙂 but even if I can download to a library if the sim pauses itself every time it loses an internet connection then having those items locally doesn't buy us much if anything at all.  

I am "hoping" that when they enable the library it also allows your flight to continue just without online services like 2020 does but that would also require some level of "base" level sim to be local...  That would be my personal wish list but I "personally" don't carry too much weight with MS LOL  

Again, I don't expect you to have the answer and not arguing anything you said, just had that question. 

With that said, I haven't actually heard or read of too many connection drops once people are logged in and simming so hopefully they also built up fault tolerance and resiliency with lessons learned from the 2020 online/offline instances.  

Funny story but the whole reason I got a backup battery system for the house was to keep my internet and local wifi/lan up when we have brownouts/blackouts and yes, it was pretty much exclusively for FS LOL... 

Thank you!
