ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
When I come in to land at an airport I haven’t flown into previously I find the runway completely blurry with no detail. It is still being streamed in as I land. This is the most critical phase of flight and I can’t see any runway lights, lines, or detail, just low res blurry textures. The runway textures seem to load in last, even after the airport buildings. I often find that the runway only comes (streams) into full detail when I’m on an exit ramp.
This doesn’t seem to matter whether it is 3rd party or not.
I realize that many 3rd party airports will eventually be available to store and access locally, but what about the default airports that aren’t? I can see soft runway textures on most airports I fly into that have not been used before / cached already.
Why not give us an option to (or even better have FS2024 do this by default) pre-cache a destination airport during the flight or ahead of a flight or at least well ahead of landing. Why only stream it in as we are on final right when we need it to be fully loaded the most?
This to me is a fundamental issue/flaw with the current FS2024 streaming methodology and needs tweaked to pre cache destination airports ahead of time. {FEATURE REQUEST}
Note: my rolling cache is currently set at 128GB, makes no difference for airports I have yet to fly into so are not pre-cached.
[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue? YES
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)? Every time I fly into an airport that I haven’t streamed before and isn’t pre-cached or stored locally
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
- Fly into any airport that isn’t stored or pre cached locally
- Watch when runway textures are streamed/loaded in (late)

MEDIA
Please add a screenshot or video of the issue occurring.
KMIA(streamed) R30. This is typical, but quite bad. Maybe due to streaming of Miami PG on approach ahead of airport. But why isn’t the airport pre-cached already?
This example was after a 2hr (3hrs including setup) flight with ample time for pre-caching the destination airport had that been a sim option.
LEZL (streamed). Airport buildings all clear and present. Runway (I’ve just exited after landing) all blurry and still loading (streaming) in.
