I don’t have any of the City updates installed - most of the WUs
I have the 737-8, 777f, CRJ, F28, Sh360, BN Trislander all installed. 51 addons as i think as you get to well over 50, loading times start to go downhill..
No third party airports.
Each flight different - if I have time cold and dark, if in a rush from runway. I use Simbrief and Navigraph for flight planning.
Can’t guarantee this will work for you unfortunately but I’m getting consistently good results - so far (!)
What rolling cache do you have? I have always kept it off and I’m having trouble with SU16 latest beta but it seems as though that it’s working fine for people who have at least an 8Gb rolling cache and possibly even 16Gb
I joined the SU16 beta and I have to admit I’m pleasantly surprised.
I was able to complete three flights (on different days) and multiple takeoffs/landings with the A320v2 without a single stutter, even taking off and landing at highly detailed airports like KMCO or KATL.
The render distance is much better; you can see the runway from about 15nm.
And at night, the lights are crystal clear; you can see other aircraft in the distance, both day and night!
After the first flight, if you try to perform a second one without restarting the sim, you’ll notice that the memory is degraded and the render distance isn’t as good anymore.
Photogrammetry is still pretty poor in areas like NY or London, but with PG off it works very well.
I have the cache enabled; I normally set it to 16GB, but yesterday for testing, I increased it to 32GB. I can’t confirm any improvements with the increase, but I also haven’t had any problems.
I didn’t notice any problems regarding "time loss"h, but I also didn’t take any flights longer than 1 or 1.5 hours. I’ll keep an eye on this.
Sounds like you’re having an incredible experience there. Seems like a real chore however to download all the world updates again after resintalling the game.
I actually had moved the game as-is from my internal to the external, in case I ever want to move it back again to play. It was just under 300 gigs when I moved it (included all the updates and my add-ons plus the rolling cache file), but when I moved it back to the internal, it only installed the base content and add-on support. All the WUs and third party content plus rolling cache gone God knows where.
So I’m hesitant to install it again because if I need to move it temporarily to create space, I’ll only get the base game back when moving it to the internal SSD to play.
Honestly, if I hadn’t had constant CTDs with SU15, I would have continued flying there, I was forced to come here on 16, where at now I have never had a CTD, finger crossing . If you don’t have problems with SU15, I recommend staying there.
