It wouldn't be as responsive though.

Well if you think it works well there is nothing stopping you for streaming the game with xcloud.

Imo experience the bitrate and latency is pretty poor even with gigabit internet.

Exactly - People don't seem to realize that cloud gaming responsiveness only really matters in competitive games and shooters. Turn based games or more casual games run perfectly fine with fast Internet.

Just fly Boeing in game. It's a more authentic experience that way.

If you have small data caps, it may even be cheaper.

I was thinking more of uninstalling this 81 GB/hour game and enrolling in flight school (if you have data cap overage fees). But I like the way you think!
