Don't Really Understand Cache

Featured Replies

I appreciate Cache is downloading local scenery, question is how and when.

After the latest update I was flying East to West on the South Coast of the UK and noticed initially the scenery was good, then later it seemed to deteriorate and the roads looked like something out of FSX as if they were painted on with a wide paint brush all over fields where they shouldn't be.

So my question, how and when is Rolling Cache downloaded ?  If I sit at my parking spot at a local airfield is the scenery slowly being downloaded around this airfield if Rolling Cache is turned on.  Secondly if I fly East to West across the UK is the scenery being downloaded as I fly.

To be honest, I don't have a clue about the caches. I'm not at this time worried about a "no internet situation" so it doesn't bother me about being word not allowed of how they work. I have no problems related to cache (that I'm aware of). I (after this weeks update) can fly wherever I want. Frames are good and fluid, except for the short stutter every 40 seconds or so, I did set up 50 gig rolling cache at first and haven't looked at it since.

Sort of and Sort of maybe. Hope that helps..

I think there some amount of data and maps on your PC already even if you have data turned of and no rolling cache activated... its just gonna look bad . So I think rolling cache save just the differences between interpretation of satellite data from online and what would be just generic buildings if data was off . Atleast thats the way I interpret it what I have read.

I have both cache system turned off as well and I havent noticed any negative results.

Maybe having Rolling cache on is one of the causes of stuttering when people are approaching large cities.

I am kinda worried about performance impact of flying and downloading new data and at the same time asking my pc to write it too disk. Maybe on a top shelf PC no problem..

If you fly from a home base all the time it may be worth it to turn on rolling cache and fly around your local area or create a cache file like the video above.
