Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 needs 64GB of RAM for ideal performance — oddly, the game install size is only 30GB (www.tomshardware.com)

30GB plus unlimited data streaming while using it…

That said, I suppose one plus is that this hopefully wont need as many 10+GiB updates literally right when I finally have an hour free and want to play it.

30GB to install then 100+ after you open the game and it downloads updates and scenery. Same deal as 2020.

I'm thinking 30 before opening the game and then 100+ after.
