August 15, 20205 yr just wondering if anyone here has tried it in Alpha or Beta and what it looks like and what settings you used.

August 15, 20205 yr Excellent question, still the big unknown. Another question would be how the cache exactly works : how it was announced a year ago or how it actually worked in the alpha.

I dinked around with the cache, but still do not know how it works...very good point.

August 15, 20205 yr I haven't messed with the cache, but I had to fly offline once. I couldn't see a lot of difference, at least flying from Trinidad to the mouth of the Orinoco river and a little ways up the river to a small airstrip, which was more detailed than I would have expected.

Like the offline mode, not an unimportant point for the bandwidth challenged folks. It is not clear whether one can download a route/region without playing the game to use it at a later time as I understood it would be the case in Lionel's video. The alpha cache worked only when flying, filling the cache FIFO-like (hearsay, not a tester myself) meaning it was useless for me. 10 minutes ago, LHookins said: I haven't messed with the cache, but I had to fly offline once.

Hook They said that autogen and vectors (roads, RR, rivers etc) would be the same, only the terrain sharpness would be degraded. If you fly over a densely forested area you shouldn't see the difference.

August 15, 20205 yr I am not expert but for they said, if you not load online render image yo will see all ( mesh, autogen, etc) but cant see any image rendered form the server and of course less definition but you can fly in VFR at all. My Twitch Channel
August 15, 20205 yr During the alpha/beta testing, you needed a constant internet connection to be authorized to use the alpha/beta moment by moment. So no one outside Asobo has yet used offline mode.

Tried just recently and at it started up, but I discovered my Internet which had been down came up about the same time. Hook Larry Hookins Oh!

August 15, 20205 yr Will be interesting to see how this works. If I remember correctly offline mode is how you will be able to use historical weather. I remember hearing that somewhere lol, can't remember where though.
August 15, 20205 yr It’s generic textures with the same buildings/tress and placement as online mode. I don’t like it, but it’s not bad compared to other sims. Edited August 15, 20205 yr by bonchie

I fly all over the place so imagine my cache would fill up pretty quickly. Once it's full, do you need to buy another SSD or is there a way to clear it? Sorry, I'm not very clued-up on computers...

August 15, 20205 yr Moderator The cache is FIFO* and is limited to however much space you allocate for it. Once 'full' it will simply overwrite from the beginning of the cache space. You also have the option to "permanently" archive specific scenery for future use. One decent example of this would be the scenery around your personal choice of a "home airport". *NB: First In First Out Fr.
