August 23, 20205 yr My internet is capable of 11 mb/s (not bits, but bytes). Yet, flying over the mountains in PNG looking at very drab, lowres scenery that keeps popping in, I notice that MSFS is only dipping its toes in the water when it comes to downloading stuff as I go: Why isn't it putting the pedal to the metal and getting the job done quickly? I have set no bandwith limitation, so in theory it should download at near 100% of my bandwith and I would get much prettier scenery as I'm flying. I had to disable the rolling cache because it kept giving me stutter episodes of 10-20 seconds from time to time which I absolutely hate.

August 23, 20205 yr Rolling cache is a no go for now. What are your PC specs anyway? 81% CPU occupation is pretty high and could be the culprit rather than Internet speed: the sim does not need too much bandwidth. 7800X3D | 2x32 GB DDR5-6000 CL32 | RTX 5080 | Alienware OLED 34" | 1 Gbps fiber

August 23, 20205 yr I think you overestimate the data stream during regular (slow) flight. If you want to stress test, use the drone (drone speed 100%) and fly into a large city. At SFO, the sim uses up to 80Mbps (the limit of my Wifi, maybe even more) to keep up and load all of the building details. During cruise however, it look much like your graph. Maybe the Bing data in the area you flew in just isn't any better / sharper. Bottom line it's pretty amazing, the data loads so fast, I never notice any streaming lag - nothing, as if the scenery was on my HD. - Currently giving X-Plane 12.10 a spin on Shadow PC. 10 years with X-Plane now, since 10.20

August 23, 20205 yr does anyone know if the local storage works? I try to download specific scenery areas but nothing happens
