need to understand which one to use. one turns off when the other is selected. what are they for?
Rolling caches automatically takes data downloaded over the internet and keeps a set amount locally. It should help with performance and keeps the bandwidth down. But don’t go crazy with it 16-32GB is plenty. Manual cache seems only worthwhile if you zoom in and select “HIGH” detailed area. But you’ll only want to do this in select areas and places you fly a lot. I have noticed doing it some areas of NYC/Miami improved performance and detail. but you can also just ignore it, but def have some rolling cache. Least that’s been my experience but until this patch the manual cache UI would become unusable after 6GB of data downloaded so i used it just a little.
You may be using it wrong they are not exclusive… you can have both.
thanks. mine cannot be turned on the same time. one or the other. more of experimentations which one helps fs responsiveness…
You can create and have existing Rolling and Manual Caches at the same time. However Manual Caches are only used when Data = OFF and only if you’re flying in the area mapped by the cache. Not a lot of performance gain, and it will still honor the other non-data reliant graphics settings. Draw distance effects still happen even with Manual Cache.

My understanding is that manual caches only cache photogrammetry data, so unless your pre-cache area has photogrammetry, pre-caching offers no value.
How can we move large manual cache from home computer to work computer?
You could try copying it (Manualcache.CCC file) if it can fit on a portable media like a thumb-drive.
I think the challenge would be that on the work computer, you’d need to build a cache file of the same maximum size first, wait for it to finish, then overwrite it with the file from home. Not sure if any of that will work, but it’s a relatively low-labor effort to try.
