Manual cache really needed?

[ironblader]

Question:
if i own an stable 1GBit/s (~125MBytes/s) i-net connection with an ping of 10ms,
do i really need the manual cache?
thanks
cheers^^

Probably not… But I do recommend rolling cache of at least 64 GB. That way they can dynamically preload the textures into the cache for a smoother loading instead of live streaming them which may introduce stutters. Not because of the bottleneck on your connection of course, but it may due to the bottleneck on their server trying to stream those textures to you.

So by having rolling cache or even manual cache if you want, the sim will load them locally instead of always streaming them.

I use it at big airports, right now my home port is kden. With traffic maxed and streaming scenery it’s a sideshow, but cached the whole Denver area and now when I fly in it’s pretty smooth. Your mileage my vary, I have a 600 Meg connection.

I have 45mbit with a much larger ping and I’ve never needed it.

But rolling cach or manual cach only help in avoiding stutters if you have or flying around the same area a few times, not if you are flying from point A to point B, and went straight for landing into an airport in point B first time. Which is why many in this forum have complaining about stutter issue for so long.
