Unless it is a subscription service, in which case I'll pass. I will not pay a monthly fee to play a game.

I've heard it has an "offline" Earth map with lower details, so I assume that means something along the lines of FSX.
But really... A 150 GIGABYTE INSTALL?! My 1TB hard drive sweats at the prospect. This new MSFS ought to destroy FSX in every category simply to justify such an excessive size.

Edit:
This review seems to suggest there are much more than just 30 airports. I'm as lost as last year's Easter egg.
Edit2:
So apparently the airports per package are "highly detailed" airports and the rest are more generic, so that's good to know. I had to get the tweezers out of my Swiss Army Knife (hopefully with a screwdriver) to make sense of The Verge's article.
Edit3:
I also found references to a "boxed" version that will contain the game on a series of DVDs and it will work without an internet connection.
