Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 Texture Mapping vs MSFS 2020

[@guitarcafeguy]

Pay special attention to the US Bank building how the texture isnt there and then comes and goes in the 24' version, this is also true for mountains and other buildings where 2020 outperforms everytime it seems. Look at the other buildings too.

Someone said its because they are streaming the data and its not being read from the hard drive. Idk if thats accurate but it would make sense to me. The person also said that MS did this to make the game smaller as opposed to making everyone download high definition Earth models. I would agree that not having the entire globe on your hard drive would be ideal but not streaming it fast enough to users isnt ideal either. So why not have regions able to be downloaded? People could pick to download their city or state if they wanted. Maybe you can do that or maybe you will be able to soon. Idk cause I don't own the game. I'm just going off of what I've heard.

There's mods available that make areas more HD, but even then still you got to be careful with which ones you do as some will crash your game/stream

Gotta set your cache to 64gb.

@@tomnape28 When I get freetime I will try and do that with the Cache and let you know if I see a difference. Im not sure what its set to currently but I wanna say both are default setting. So in default the 2020 does better. Thanks!

@@tomnape28 Update: I went to online options and set it to 64GB for rolling cache and it still had the texture mapping go in and out just like in this video. Im glad I had game pass because Id be crying if I lost $70 to something not as good as the older one. Thanks for suggestion though, I wish it had worked!
