Awesome! MS/Asobo could improve on this concept and resolve tons of their realtime bandwidth issues. I fly on pilotedge and that is LAARTC or atc ZLA. One could give an ATC zone, quality of resolution, time of scheduled download, and just let servers allocate resources and bandwidth to download that zone etc Then just authenticate via cellphone piggyback if sim is outdoors/toy hauler/rv etc and use sim all offline. One could even bypass mandatory updates this way. Maybe 2024 will improve. Been simming for 25 years, rw pilot blah blah and I can really tell this is Asobos first attempt. (The text box data entry for example. Lol) I can't believe it is 45 years since DOS and they do data entry boxes like this. Whatever! Best video on this important concept. Thanks

Qu'est-ce que c'est long après avoir créé un cache 2:31 Parce que autre question 1 GB Prendra moins de temps de chargement 2:35 ?????

My question is say that you cached a large area in low quality will MSFS STILL fill in the higher quality imagery, still lowering your bandwidth because MSFS has to download less data?

I presume so, you'd essentially just be downloading any available imagery as you go. But that might tend to cause performance lags, or degraded resolution - depending on machine-related factors. But certainly using a manual cache of any kind will reduce your bandwidth usage. I don't really have statistics to say one approach is better than another. For our purposes, if I'm going to be testing over somewhere like San Francisco for example, where there is likely to be a massive amount of data it's worth it to create a manual cache. Which I'd then zip up, then pull it back out later if I want to fly San Francisco again. Although in theory, if you're flying the same area repeatedly over a short period of time, the Rolling Cache should take care of it (assuming it's large enough), but at some point is is going to get "pushed out" of the Rolling Cache. All of this is really my subjective opinion, we have about 1.25TB of High Quality cache files and when we use them our bandwidth usage is virtually 0. The cache functionality is not well documented by MSFS so it's a guessing game. Thanks for watching!
