          How… do you think we represent physical objects digitally? Vibes?

              We shouldn’t have to say that at this point, my initial reply already conveyed that information.

              I understand the gripe with it though, they have the option to download areas ahead of time.

              (Though it’s probably a one-time download, with models and textures cached for later use)

                  My first reply said it was streaming high-res data from the cloud. Considering it’s a flight simulator advertising to cover the entire world, most people would intuit that would include textures and 3d models.

                  I’m not going to sit here and argue with you, have a nice day.
