mjmiller Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Everything has been working great until the last update. After the update when I startup the program and it goes to the first screen with the plane, then it goes to a black screen and remains that way for several minutes, sometimes it will continue to start and sometimes it will just sit there on the black screen and never starts up. Any ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiger1962 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Navigate to your LocalCache folder and delete the ROLLINGCACHE.CCC file. The sim will create a new one when your re-launch it. I have the MS Store version and my LocalCache folder is in: AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache The ROLLINGCACHE.CCC file contains data which can become corrupted over time and especially after a screen freeze or CTD. Deleting it and allowing the sim to create a fresh, clean one every now and then is a good habit to get into. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

mjmiller Posted December 8, 2022 Author Share Posted December 8, 2022 Tim I appreciate the Info, I followed your path which was the same on mine, the local cache folder does not contain a rolling cache file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) Try opening your Community folder, then look at the folder path in the file explorer window and click on LocalCache there - the RollingCache file should be in that folder, note that you must have 'show hidden files' selected in the file explorer Views options.

He can't launch the sim so we're trying other methods to get him up and running again without to re-install. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

mjmiller Posted December 9, 2022 Author Share Posted December 9, 2022 Found out why I couldn't find the rolling cache file in the folder, it was turned off in the sim settings. I turned it back on and went back to the folder and found it and deleted it. Restarted with same problem, what size should the rolling cache be set to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
