So I have a poor internet connection so manual cache is the only viable option for me. I’d like to start a thread to discuss all the in and outs of this mode.
My first question is can you store manual cache in a separate drive to the one where your fs2020 is installed? For example I have a 1t external SSD which I’d like to use as a dedicated drive for manual cache, freeing up my main drive for other tasks. Can you do this?
Even if you can’t, remember you can create a symbolic link to a folder on the drive of your choice and achieve it that way.
Yes, you can…
Great thanks. Just been reading that manually caching only works for photogrammetry areas not just satellite data! That is so disappointing and makes the game unplayable for me as I can’t stream and I don’t want to have to settle for default scenery. I wish Microsoft would tell us these important details in the marketing!
that is why an airport area the same size sometimes needs 1 MB to cache and sometimes 1 GB …
Do you think manual cache was only ever meant for photogrammetry areas and not raw satellite data? I hope not and it’s just a bug
atm manual cache editor is very slow, after i cache a dozen airports it went down to 1-2 fps close to freeze.
if u r going to select a bigger area on high like i tried with greater Berlin area the tool becomes inresponsive
and even if u manage this the download will take hours or simply freezes the game.
imho the manual cache editor tool is a hoax atm 
The bigger issue for me is manual caching only downloads cities with photogrammetry data so for most of the world it’s a useless feature. We need manual caching to download normal satellite data so those of us flying outside of the regions that have photogrammatry data can enjoy the sim
Agree. Not worth to try at this moment. Needed a complete reinstall after used it for munich. 1-2fps, unresponsive (the whole game, as the editior is ingame)
One example of all that things that would have needed a betatest first… Need to wait until the FIXED IT.
The worry is that it will never work for raw satellite data only photogrammetry. Let’s hope it’s a bug that can be fixed
