Lots of grumpy gamers have complained about the new Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 experience on launch night — mostly due to server congestion (the game relies heavily on streaming).

I downloaded it last night and am happy to report a smooth experience. This is a wonderfully detailed digital twin of the world, and arguably the best 3D map of our planet in existence today, in which you are free to roam at any height or speed. It's a wonderful achievement and definitely worth your money and time.

The video below does a great job at explaining how the studio behind the game achieved this incredible feat of rendering the whole world with such fidelity. Highly recommended watch. It even turns poetic at around the 39-minute mark.
