But that I see this is probably due to using one wide front view consisting of 2x 43” 4K displays with a zoom of 0.35. This is comparable with 1x 43” display using a zoom of 0.70 or a 32” display using a zoom of 0.95. 5950x3d 5.4-5.7 GHz - Asus ROG 870 Crosshair Apex - GSkill Neo 2x 24 Gb 6000 mhz / cas 26 - MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC - 1x SSD M2 6000 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Corsair 5400 case - Corsair 360 liquid cooling set - 3x 75’ TCL tv. 13600 6 cores @ 5.1 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.0 GHz (hypterthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D - GSkill Trident 4x Gb 3200 MHz cas 15 - Asus TUF RTX 4080 16 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 2x Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Corsair D4000 Airflow case - NXT Krajen Z63 AIO liquide cooling - FOV : 200 degrees My flightsim vids : https://www.youtube.com/user/fswidesim/videos?shelf_id=0&sort=dd&view=0

The sim will only seek to download a radius around your plane and it won't seek the highest LODs for distant objects and that's why you see triangular buildings. I have a much slower internet connection than you do (25MB/s) but I use the rolling cache and once I fly in an area like Orlando or Tampa or San Francisco and the higher resolution data gets into the cache, then I no longer have triangular buildings. I will still have triangles and flat buildings in areas I've never visited and there are cities which suffer from poorer PG like Paris sadly. It has melted buildings but it's still better than nothing imo. You are correct that PC operations are faster if you dont try and cache downloaded data and if you don't mind triangles on the horizon or other possible glitches due to slow data downloads that may occur then by all means don't use the cache. But I think its serves an important purpose and it does it well for people like me. | Dave | I've been around for most of my life.
