Hmm, that thread mentioned by jcomm earlier is making it sound like the cache isn't performing too well - caching things that maybe shouldn't be cached, not caching things that should be cached.

In network settings->advanced->data usage you can see how much data the sim has used. I'd set my cache size based upon that.

One improvement at least is at FACT where I used to see parts of the jetways appearing and disappearing randomly depending on how near or far away you were from the jetway. That no longer happens in 2024. Ground markings are better overall.

The way I understood what Seb was saying is that the cache is storing 80% of incoming data but discarding about 20%. It was in response to a user question. I don't have a time stamp to the section of the video unfortunately.

It was mentioned on the last livestream that the cache is storing around 80% of data downloaded at the moment and that the patch due this week is supposed to address this problem.

I suspect that making the cache too large might be counterproductive when it takes the game more time to search through a huge cache compared to simply fetching the required data from the internet.

Not that I've found but the bundled FCR app kind of does. See: FlightControlTools

I've been enjoying the Joby as well. I use the joystick trigger for level mode and my usual trim buttons I've assigned to speed increase/decrease. If you run out of juice, just land anywhere and do a quick recharge at 32 x speed. The manual is worth a read: https://flightsimulator.azureedge.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Microsoft_FlightFX-Joby-S4-Manual-V2.pdf

No. It looks really good inside.

There are a couple of aircraft with this tinted windscreen effect. It doesn't look good at all. What I'm finding more problematic is that on certain aircraft glare from the sun can make instruments impossible to read depending on where the sun is. I haven't found any graphic settings that help with this.

The copilot side does.

You have to look at just the right spot to remove the chocks on the Optica. The 'C' key lets you crouch down. Nice informative video, thanks.

No this is a settings guide. The video shows you the difference between various graphics settings and their impact on FPS. At the end there is a graph showing which settings have the biggest impact on FPS. Of course the results are going to vary from system to system but its nice to see the screenshots side by side.

Brilliant video. Worth a watch to the end.

I've had the impression that 2024 cockpits looked quite dark so started up 2020 and 2024 at the same time, put each one in a window with the same aircraft (Cessna 172), same airport, same clear weather and same time of day. 2024 looks quite a bit darker. Even the text on the panels in 2020 is easier to read.
