Good news. Been flying this plane more than any other lately.

I'll give you an honest answer. I've tried both. I figured that downloaded would be faster loading and running. I was wrong. Streaming was MUCH faster loading and stutter-free. YMMV.

It's definitely not what it used to be

With a next gen MSFS eventually coming, my concern is with potentially new scenery detail, planes, weather, & ATC will render much of the current hardware insufficient, requiring yet another pc upgrade. We're already experiencing out-of-VRAM issues and it will only get worse. Hardware developers already have either slowed down consumer production or in case of memory / storage, practically given up on us.

I just uninstalled 2020 this past week. No issues with 2024. All is good.
