It can't be removed. 

Deleting it will rebuild it at 16GB

I deleted the custom folder the cache was installed in and the sim never recreated the folder.  RC has also not been recreated in the default location

  • Yes the change log will be long.. but let me tell you, it’s not just “performance” as in the fps in the flights are much better (which is true).. it’s the whole entire experience using the software. E

Since when does MSFS use user settings?  lol

You should have asked first where I place my cache file instead of being a smart word not allowed.

3, controls bind isssue.

 when you change a custom control setting like "throttle 1" etc it changes all the settings not just the specfic one.

Or you can just rename the folder and the sim won't create a cache file.

I've tested cache on and off and I get better performance with it off. No stutters and from what I read if you have a good connection you can get away with no cache. 

 

MSFS is a strange thing. I deleted the cache as above instructions. Loading time increased with 1/3. Frame rates dropped from 110 to mid 70.

Restarted several times, same result.  cache in original location, 64 gb. problem solved.   Dont know how or why.

I see the same, the sim doesnt profit from a 0.0GB rolling cache on my end, best results I get with 64GB. And I have a 2250Mbit/s connection and a state of the art rig.

Hi Alcides (super trailer on YouTube BTW ;),
That's very interesting. I've got the same small monitor than yours and don't see any change with gsync enabled or not via Nvidia CP.

Thank you!! 
Yes it’s really weird. I actually experimented by turning my resolution to 2560x1440P versus the default 3286x2160P it worked. Leads me to believe that it’s just too much for the HDMI cables to handle and they really pushed the limits. I wish they would have done display port on the 1st gen. But they didn’t.

No. It's just a name Counter Strike to me. I have no clue about what the game is.

I'm absolutely loving the night lighting after being one of the most vocal critics about the sepia mask.

One improvement though would be to get rid of lighting on all the minor roads.  The American midwest is all lit up with a grid pattern, looks like suburbia.  In actual fact there are absolutely no street lights once you move away from the towns.  Even the rural freeways dont have lighting.

Hi Rob 😉
1/ Create a CACHE folder on your desktop.
2/ In FS2024 settings > online > rolling cache settings/path, enter your folder's path (desktop) and close FS.
3/ Delete your CACHE folder and that's it, no more rolling cache, FS will be fooled and you'll be happy 🙂

David,

Thanks a lot for the method to disable the use of Rolling Cache in MSFS 2024.  At least now we can test this option on our respective systems and go from there.  Approximately two years ago, I turned-off Rolling Cache in MSFS 2020 and it PERMANENTLY fixed all performance problems I was having back then.  I had tried doing the same thing with MSFS 2024 but there is no way to do this directly via a setting so thanks again.  One question.

Do you know of any correlation between Rolling Cache and the Offscreen Terrain Pre-caching setting in Global Settings ?

64 gb cache here. Loading times for me go from <2 minutes to >10 without a cache.

Also loading a flight with 2024 cache is 30 seconds.  Without cache forget it.

If I'm in a place (I move around alot) where the internet is bad with no cache the game is unplayable.

In 2020 you can delete the cache.  In 2024 it is a lifesaver as everything is streamed.

Wednesday (today) translates to Wotan's day in English language speaking nations.  So it's now 2 more days before we honor Wotan's wife Fria by releasing another flawed sim update version.

I think your posts are too intelligent for me.  I just don't understand most of them.  Your mind must work on a different level to mine!  :biggrin:
