As a side note (and a bit weird MS is rather quiet about it) if you want to see the power of the cloud try Flying simulator. |
If you're one of the lucky ones (like me) for who it generally works. Just check the Steam and MS flight forums, still full of people unable to download the game, or the installer inisting to re-download the game or simply getting stuck. Tons of streaming issues since the last patch, downgrades reported, connection issues. Live weather is still very wonky, mostly the wind doesn't work or it only works the first flight. Live traffic has tons of issues, ATC Azure voices make the game crash for many people. People are already walking away and going back to x-plane and p3d.
It works mostly for me, down to a couple restarts per day. Streaming is hit and miss just like the data coverage. Lots of pop in, stutters and variable framerate, not always tied to the complexity of the scenery.
If you want to see the unreliability of the cloud, try flight simulator :/
It is absolutely beautiful when it does work and you're in a well supported area.
