FS4 Streaming Memory Issues (OneDrive Full)

C:\Users\(user)\OneDrive\Documents\Aerofly FS 4\sd\scenery\cultivation

Is the Aerofly Community aware of streaming creating issues with memory allocation? Taking too much space on OneDrive? I believe my e-mail storage has been affected ("full" error message).

I have a "cultivation" folder above, that may be giving me an issue with giga-bytes of information. Can I delete this data without affecting the game? Cache issue?

Thanks.

We don't recommend to include the Aerofly FS folder in your OneDrive backups. This has created issues for several users in the past.

In the main.mcf file you can specify a different path for the network streaming data location if you don't wish to save the files on the c drive. You can also define another path for the extra use folder so that you can install scenery add-ons on another drive as well.

Thank you so much ... will look into it.

Can I delete FS4 data that is already there?

Yes you can, that data in the subdirectory sd is just the cache for global scenery streaming as far as I know.

FYI: Aerofly Users

As a quick temporary fix, from my Outlook (e-mail) App, upper left (dots) menu, I clicked on OneDrive App, navigated to the below folders and deleted files (for me, about 4GB of data) ... sd == streaming data???

OneDrive\Documents\Aerofly FS 4\sd\scenery\cultivation

OneDrive\Documents\Aerofly FS 4\sd\scenery\images

I will look into moving my game cache outside of OneDrive.

Hope it helps!
