Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 stores various types of cache data on your computer, including scenery indexes, rolling cache, and more. These caches are used to help speed up the loading times and performance of the game. However, in some cases, it may be necessary to delete these caches to troubleshoot issues.
With the HungaryVFR Configurator application, all caches can be deleted except for “Rolling Cache”!

Delete Nvidia Shader Cache:
The Nvidia shader cache is a collection of compiled shader programs that are used to improve the performance of your Nvidia graphics card. This cache is automatically generated and stored on your computer’s hard drive. However, over time, the cache can become corrupted or bloated, which can cause issues with game performance. In these cases, it may be necessary to delete the Nvidia shader cache.
Deleting the shader cache can help to resolve issues with game performance, such as stuttering or freezing. Finally, deleting the cache can force your graphics card to recompile the shaders, which can potentially result in improved performance in some cases. However, it’s worth noting that deleting the shader cache may cause a slight delay the first time you launch a game as the graphics card needs to rebuild the cache.
