- Automatic cloud saves.

Why the FitGirl Repack for FSX?
- Drastic Size Reduction: The original Steam Edition download is approximately 8–10 GB. The FitGirl repack compresses this to roughly 3–4 GB. For simmers with metered or slow internet connections, this is a game-changer.
- Selective Download: The repack typically allows users to skip downloading unnecessary language packs or the DirectX redistributables (which they likely already have).
- Offline Installation: Once downloaded, the repack can be installed on multiple PCs without re-downloading, perfect for flight sim enthusiasts who maintain multiple rigs (e.g., a home rig and a laptop for portable flying).
- Preserved Steam Features: Note on functionality: While repacks strip Steam DRM, version 10.0.62615.0 in repack form often retains the core game mechanics but sacrifices Steam multiplayer. Most serious simmers using repacks rely on third-party networks (see below) rather than Steam’s native lobby.
