Pre-cache certain regions

[Vitold69]

In some areas, i.e. Japan, Bing maps (latest) have hi-res quality images. So when you are flying fast (jet liner, 150 knots on approach) and low (1500 ft and below) the Flight Sim became a jerking slideshow. Images download speed at that moment is about 10-12 MB/s, I believe the Bing maps servers have a kind of bottle neck there, So it would be nice if you implement pre-cache feature to choose level and area. So anyone can cache areas around airports to avoid stuttering. Thanks.

I planned to do this in near future.

Yes, this would be great for example i would like to pre-cache my Island (Aruba) airport (TNCA) and its sister islands (Curacao & Bonaire) (TNCC & TNCB) i wish i can pre-cache them with google maps and then leave all other country to bing.

You can't. There is one cache file for every map provider. So if you cache Aruba with Google and if you switch to Bing your Google maps will be re-written to Bing ones.
