By storing this processed data in fg-optional-mp-files.bin , the simulator avoids redundant parsing. The first time you join a multiplayer session, FlightGear writes to this file. The tenth time you encounter the same Boeing 777 model, the sim reads directly from the binary cache—cutting loading times from seconds to milliseconds.
Low disk space warnings, longer launch times (ironically), or failure to write new cache data due to filesystem limits.
If you decide to download the file, follow these steps to ensure a successful installation:
need to download or install this file if you only plan to play the single-player campaign. Skipping it reduces the download size and saves disk space. Installation
Users with slow internet or data caps can skip downloading multiplayer components if they only intend to play the single-player campaign.
: If you include it in the download, use the QuickSFV.exe tool (often included in the repack) to verify the .bin file's integrity before running the installer. Common Examples
When running setup.exe , make sure the "Multiplayer files" option is checked in the component selection menu if you have the file present. Common Issues and Troubleshooting
