    Fuck most of Microsoft’s shit, but this is the only way you can realistically do the real world at any recognizable level of detail at all. You might be able to cache an area with an obscene amount of storage, but it would have to be a pretty constrained flight path at pretty low detail to really work.

        For the whole planet? More than your computer can hold, most likely.

        It’s 80GB/hour at high quality and that’s a very small area of the planet.

          Okay fair enough 😅!

          Edit: bad calculations were made by me, it’s only 180Mb/s needed.

          Maybe at low you can store it off …
