Microsoft's New Flight Sim Comes on Ten Discs


Microsoft's new flight sim is set to be released in Europe on not one but ten discs! The boxed version will also be close in price to the online download, so perhaps its just worth getting the physical copy instead.

"Our DVDs contains ‘all’ of part 2, apart from the updates Microsoft and Asobo do between the moment the the DVDs are pressed and release. When you install, the sim will updates all files immediately form the servers and you will get the very latest code for the simulator itself and all content is updated. This is very much a simulator that depends on the cloud if you want to use it to its full potential. So the boxed version makes it possible for people on a slower internet connection to get the sim installed without downloading the ‘content’. So the simulator is in every way, 100% the same. 

The boxed retail version just gets you a nice box, printed manual and about 90 Gb you do not have to download. There is no difference between boxed retail and the version MS sells directly." - says Areosoft
