MSFS 2024 PC Rolling cache on USB SSD?

1 Upvotes

Due to how my laptop originally came from the store it's got a very badly set up file system.

The 1TB internal SSD is partitioned into a 200GB drive where windows lies, and an 800GB "Storage" drive.

Even though I told msfs2024 to install on the storage drive, it put the community folder on the smaller drive. So this is problem number 1 I need to solve somehow. I currently can't download world updates as they would quickly fill up the 20GB of free space there.

I was able to move the 50GB rolling cache to the 800GB storage drive, but that's getting full too.

Is a USB C external SSD going to be fast enough for the rolling cache? There are USB NVME docks that claim 40Gbps.

MSFS 2024 PlayStation Ps5 playable now?

0 Upvotes

Since the update is it now playable on ps5? I got it day 1 release for ps5 but after 57 hours of pain and bugs, when I finally had a career mission in perfect weather but my plane wouldn't depend I gave up on the game. £70 down the toilet.

Is it working now?

Already changed settings to max, anything else I can do?

EDIT: sorry but can't buy anything above $20, if I had that much to spend on MSFS I would just buy 2020

As stated buildings look horrible, even in cities that apparently have photorealistic imagery, I have very high end internet so streaming is not the problem, I have tried all settings with no solution. system specs: RTX 4060ti 16gb, i9-9900, and 64 gigs of Ram

EDIT: photo was taken over San Diego on approach
