good information and look forward to many more informal videos on 2024 so when I do get 2024 I will be alll ready after watching alll the videos from SimHanger Thank You
Another very informative video, thanks Mark. I have a new, high-spec custom built PC and am waiting for the sales to grab a 48in LG C4 (after watching your video on the topic). Getting this setting right will make life awesome as although I have reasonable bandwidth I really don’t want to download huge quantities of data on a constant basis.
Excellent informative video Mark. I know you have to earn a crust, but a non-sponsored video once in a while is really nice to see. Keep up the good work.
Wait we will be able to choose to store planes and scenery locally 😮. That’s awesome and nice to know my T705 gen 5 SSD was not for nothing haha hopefully that gets me at least a small improvement in loading times 🤷♂️ probably very minimal but anyway haha 😄.
Before moving your rolling cache to another drive you should disable rolling cache and delete your current rolling cache file. Otherwise you're wasting disk space. I've used 30Gb rolling cache on my primary 2T ssd drive and a good 100mbps network with msfs2020 and this seems to work great. I'm not sure if there is a magic number for its size. I did notice a small improvement (faster loading times and fewer stutters) moving from 20Gb but didn't notice any improvements increasing this to 40Gb. Like everything PCVR, you need to find out what works best for you imho.
@@Aliquis.frigus He won't be better off, he will be worse off as he has less choice and that is an intentional control decision by M$. This M$ control attitude applies to anyone with a crap internet and is becoming all pervasive with software companies telling you more and more, the way you need to use "their" software you bought.
3:08 again, I am shocked that both ways is not implemented. MSFS makes streaming of world onto your PC and then change this to a system that screws over its low bandwidth users without keeping the old way intact and as an option is not good.
Hi Mark, any word on the VR aspect of 2024? Seems every YT video regarding MSFS 2024 says it's a "Alpha" build? It's getting very close to release to be only in "Alpha"? Shouldn't it be in late "Beta" by now being this close to release (21 days). This kind of signals a possible launch delay? Great video on the rolling cache by the way, thank you.
I have one 1 Gbps internet so that won't be an issue. I'm getting ready for the 9800X3D with 64GB 6400MT/s CL28 RAM on a X870 motherboard coming from AM4. I want to go with the latest Intel, but it's not looking promising, so I stick with peasant AMD hardware for now.
I love almost everything on this channel but this is pretty questionable advice around turning on rolling cache. Its known to cause stutters for some and many people with decent systems and internet speeds have turned it off and seen improvement. Unless someone has actually tested this with FS2024 we're completely in the land of speculation. Its good to be aware of rolling cache as an option to experiment with, no doubts
To me, that wouldn't make any sense for msfs 2024. All of the data is supposed to be in rolling cache. Unless you configure manual cache which is not default. The data would already be in the fast access rolling cache, not needing to download from the internet. Personally, I don't like the idea of only a rolling cache. If possible, I plan to configure a large manual cache and hopefully download all the scenery from my favorite areas in which i fly. I have a 4 terabyte nvme, so ssd space is no issue.
So what was the offline mode like in the alfa? Doubt anyone cared to test. With a low bandwidth of about 10-15mbs average, i will no doubt have to use the rolling cache and maybe invest in a bigger m.2 and do manual. Lets hope it works (unlike some of the time in 20200.
I don't know why with my system (7800x3d, 4090, 2tbnvme) whenever I allocate 50GB of space for the rolling cache in less than a couple of hours my performance will take an huge hit going into the single digit fps and it will also stutter like crazy making it unplayable. Disabling rolling cache resolves the problem.
I always used a rolling cache of >=100 GB on an NVME drive without problems on MSFS2020... how do you come to the conclusion to not recommend more > 32 GB? If i remember correctly, the maximum size in MSFS2024 should be 2TB, which would mean that it could be far more useful for people who arent that lucky regarding bandwidth. I have heard this limit in another video, yet i do not remember the creators name. And doing the math, 32 GB would only need 43 minutes for a data stream with only 100mbit/s - not very helpful. THX 💙
In terms of average read/write times (in theory with 32GB memory) anything more than 38GB is not needed to ensure max feed to memory. But if it works for you then great 👍
According the the Ideal FS2024 Spec you should have 64gb of memory. You mentioned the Sim could not access more than 32gb. Has something changed recently?
Was thinking the exact same thing.... depends on usage, but am guessing a quality M.2 should be fine given I doubt the daily download would be in the tens of gigabytes. If mark could provide examples of how much data is streamed would be good. I never migrated to MS2020 because of the Internet requirements and will unlikely jump to 2024 for the same reason.
Smells like an external (to the sim) influence. Net disconnections or a sensitive firewall/ virus setting would be my first investigations. Also check if you have lease times set on your router
