The next flight aim is gonna lean even heavier into streaming. So not just landscape but also plane models will be streamed. So this is gonna get worse not better
What benefit would streaming plane models have?
Landscape and real time weather data makes sense. Things are changing and it doesnt make sense to have high res textures of the entire planet on users PCs. Or are you just meaning on demand download of the skin?
Well if the install size is anything to go by it drops from 120Gb to 30
Basically Google Stadia
Nah. This is asset streaming. E.g model data. Not video
Well if you are gonna stream something you might as well stream everything if you can. I for one like small install sizes.
