Rolling Cache Question

Featured Replies

Can someone explain the benefits of rolling cache and how often I should be clearing it out?  Thanks

Hi; @Zimmerbz

Rolling cache is useful if you are mostly  flying at the same area. If that area is already cached, sim will not download it everytime and the performance will be smoother. You do not need to clean it frequemtly. You can just clean it after WU (World Updates) that changes the area and you will not want to fly the older map due to cache, if your area is changed by the WU. This is my experience with rolling cache and I keep it around 32 GB, not more.

Happy Flying.

I second that opinion. I've set mine to 80 GB tough.
