It streams in world data in real time as well as real time weather and plane locations. That being said the 'recommended' specs for this game are pretty generous and include a gtx 970. The preferred specs however include a 2080.
I wonder if it is something like Flight Aware, where it's digging into their database of flights real time, including the plane models.

I think they said that Gamepass will only get you the standard, which isn't great, but at least we can try it out. There's a lot of good planes only in Premium.

Then get premium, don't be a cheap bastard! Open up that wallet you filthy whore.

Honestly if this runs at any kind of reasonable framerate, I'll buy the deluxe version. I have a feeling it is going to crush my gaming PC and look like a slideshow.

The eye candy is amazing, but if the framerate is in the 20s, it isn't fun to fly for long.

I could probably live without the premium airports, but I have to try that SR22. Those are so cool looking.

30-40 airports that are in the standard/deluxe are hand crafted with many man hours on each of those main airports. The game ships with every airport in the world. 37000 altogether but obviously not as detailed as the hand crafted airports.
