Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 needs 64GB of RAM for ideal performance — oddly, the game install size is only 30GB (www.tomshardware.com)

Great as soon as I upgrade to 32GB then games start wanting 64.

Your 32gb can do a lot and will still let you do a lot for a reasonable timeframe. No need to worry.
