Full Offline Download Option for Global

@Brecht Global is available offline last time I checked so this topic is slighty irrelivant.

You can on solo but have to be online
But you can’t play global Offline

But only in slightly bigger regions than we have now, not full planetary scale

You guys complain for having to pay for an aircraft in Infinite Flight that cost $4.99 and want everything free. I find it extremely difficult to believe that you are willing to pay $929 - $1079 for a iPad with 512gb of storage. Not a well thought out idea if you ask me based on comments that have been made in the past by other members. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Maybe its not about money, but about how much people think things are worth. If people think $4.99 for a plane is a ripoff (I don’t) they won’t buy it, but if they think an iPad is worth $1000 (it’s not) they’ll buy it. Besides, based on previous comments, the download size won’t even be near 500GB (speculation, I know, hang me) so they can easily play on their budget phones or tablets if they want.

They most certainly didn’t

I’ll see if I can find it.

Must be at least 32GB minimum

Yeah, most likely that much I couldn’t find anything on how much storage it would take up.

I think it depends on the region, the French Alps could take up a lot of storage due to the topography.

No, more like fear of losing all my data, I have like thousands of pictures stored in two different hard drives and on the cloud. I’m very protective of my data, ever since one time as a kid I thought I had deleted all our pictures on my mothers’ PC and had a nervous meltdown crying like a river, until she recovered everything.

PS: No I’m not one of those paranoid people about the NSA and privacy, in fact I couldn’t care less, I just dont ever wanna lose my photos

Yes please!!! I really want this!!! Has to have my vote!!!

I know Laura always “haunts” these forums in a way… she sees pretty much every thread but doesn’t comment. I know because I have my sources. 😏

I have my sources too, ketchup and mustard are personal faves.

I’m truly, truly sorry for that


It would be a useful option I guess, but would need to be constantly updated as airports and nav data get updated

Airports and NAV data would have to be updated anyways, regardless of map size. There just would be more of them.

It would be cool if you could download small sections of the globe, which has been mentioned before. But I don’t think downloading the whole globe is possible, not until 2025 at least.

I don’t understand why you have to say this. He may of made a feature request for something that he may not want but others may want. He obviously wants this but he may want a different feature more. And you would say then why would you make this post? And I say that other people may want, and considering that we i it have a small number of votes. It’s unfair for you to say this, because it is not nice or fair to say this, and this is why I flagged it.

I’m sorry that you feel that my response was demeaning however it’s quite the opposite. My request to him was to follow basic forum etiquette, if the OP posts a request then the OP is expected to vote and stand behind their intent. Also, I asked for everyone to have some faith in FDS and the product that we will receive, obviously they won’t be able to appease everyone and there are some obstacles along the way but so is life my friend. Onward & upward, adapt & overcome, safe travels in the skies.

No, because in the current version where we all have the terrain, airports and nav data downloaded and updated whenever major updates release, everyone has the same airports and nav data. In global, where terrain is streamed from a server the server could be updated daily/weekly with new data, people who downloaded the whole globe wouldn’t get these updates so if (for example) a taxiway at KORD was removed and someone with old data used it they would be ghosted for taxiing through grass or if ATC asked them to hold at a certain point their game wouldn’t display it

You’d probably just be required to update your data before playing online
