I do the same, but I'm begining to think that doing it afterwards might make more sense.

The application (flightsim) creates the shader program files in the shader cache directory, you may easily observe it by deleting this folder, then starting the sim: it will be recreated. So it doesn't matter if you delete it before or after the driver update or before or after the application update as long as the application (flightsim) isn't started.
