  • Noel, Sorry for responding late, here are the three important things that are easy to do. You can use photogrammetry off or on. When you use this software always start it before MSFS and lea

    Bing Latest is pretty amazing and much better than Google Maps. It does feel like an MS2024 preview.

Does anybody know if you can run this mod without the cache? I don’t like using the cache in MSFS itself and would prefer to not have this app also using cache…

 

Or indeed where it saves the cache data? In the path option for the cache, I can’t remember what it says exactly, but I remember it doesn’t actually tell you where it is saving the cached data.

 

Many thanks.

It is stored in the program itself in a cache folder. Nothing to do with MSFS.

Should I leave "Load High LOD images only when flying" enabled?

I tried both and saw no difference in performance

Well, not sure what's wrong but this takes forever to initialize a flight.  MSFS opens fine, but when it's time to launch the flight it's taking 15 minutes to load and that is with Load High LOD images only when flying enabled or disabled. I've uninstalled the mod, cleared out all folders associated w/ its install, and reinstalled to no avail.  I clearly have something wrong in the setup, or maybe it's a conflict w/ the PMDG 738 I'm trialing this with.

It's supposed to affect loading times, not "performance" per se

Just updated the app and it appears to have zeroed out my cache.db file.   I specified this path for the cache file.  Maybe I didn't get that specified in time before it updated and wiped it.  Should I insert a cache.db file outside the main program folder tree?

It should load a new cache file when you start a flight, if you set cache on. 

 

 

 

Hmm  Well 17GB is a lot of data to get wiped and reloaded every time you fly. Guess that's the way it works.  I've allotted 30GB for the map app's cache.

does the program require you to be online ( I mean as shown status online with asobo?) or can you keep multiplayer off in the general options data section?

Multiplayer can be on or off - doesn't matter for this mod.

Are we in agreement that PG should be off to get a more seamless flow of the tiles?

Bob, how long does it take to start a flight for you?

Same as it always did, maybe a minute or two.

Solo diré que creo que su forma de pensar está anticuada porque los proveedores de mosaicos QUIEREN que se utilicen sus mosaicos. ¿Por qué si no proporcionarían una URL pública? Básicamente, se trata de publicidad gratuita para ellos.

Han pasado 3 años y todavía no lo han desconectado. Los mosaicos de Google tienen la marca y Apple cobra una tarifa. ARCGis quiere jugar con los grandes. Bing es Bing.

My thinking has nothing to do with reselling unlicensed data, which is what this software does.
