MSFS Rolling Cache

Quick question if I have rolling cache turned off from the beginning - does deleting rolling cache makes any difference?

From what I can tell, it will be significant if you only fly in and out of a specific location.

If you never had it turned on in the first place then there should be no .ccc file in there anyway, so it would make no difference.

Yeah that makes sense as I never switched it on in first place but there was a option to delete cache so used that, I recently updated my GPU driver so as a habit I delete all of the cache whether be in sim or windows.

Ah, another OCD stricken simmer. 😉

There is no reason to delete any scenery cache after a driver update.

You CAN delete the shaders, but you don't have to.

I have 128 GB of rolling cache on a dedicated NVMe drive.  I fly primarily in the Puget Sound area, 100 miles north and south of Seattle and east about 100-miles into the Cascade mountain range.  After a few sessions I have almost zero network activity.  

The sim loads in 1' 26" with 25-addons including four high resolution ORBX airports and high res scenery for Seattle to Tacoma. 

That does not answer your question but it sure makes me want to keep rolling cache.
