Okay and? They're still delivering at a higher resolution than most people can or want to achieve.
This is absolutely ridiculous, even for that mission statement.
Yes... that's why they have a slider bar for what resolution you want your terrain at? In FS2020 it was a zero to 400 fidelity scale. You're arguing that the top of the line shouldn't be top of the line, when there are so many settings that can be tweaked to the user's preference. An overwhelming number of settings. FS2020 came with presets for what Azure Maps fidelity you wanted if you didn't want fine tuned controls.
So they aren't streaming graphics at higher than high def then. Which means it likely fits on modern hard drives just fine.
Correct. FS2020 had many different settings. You could have sweet ultrahd graphics streamed from azure, or you could do many lower qualities, or even pure offline as well. I'm guessing this will have similar options. Which is why I think this article is clickbait. Yes, it can stream that much from Azure - that doesn't mean it's required to.
See that's something I wish you would have led with. That's way more common sense.
