Despite some surprisingly chill Flight Simulator 2024 system requirements, the 'Ideal Spec' demands more RAM than storage

If you're looking forward to finally stepping into the cockpit of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, the official X account has put out a handy chart for the system requirements to run it, and it seems surprisingly well optomized. If you wanted to, you could technically run the game on a rig bought almost a decade ago, which could mean your old graphics card and CPU might be worth less than the $200 Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Aviator Edition bundle. 
>> The top spec. requirements ask for 50GB of SSD storage and 64GB of RAM. Congeatulations, Mummelmann, going with 64GB is starting to pay off.

50GB of storage but 64GB of ram? Are they putting the entire game in Ram or what? lol

Maybe it's calculating graphics instead of loading textures from a library?

Doing so would need more CPU power and more VRAM, but needs less storage space and the calculated textures are much sharper than what you can achieve with traditional textures.

More likely is however that it can use over 32GB of RAM - but probably also nowhere near 64GB, it' just the next increment with dual-channel RAM
