SU2 here. I’ve recently tried the moving maps on the MSFS EFB (via the Navigraph charts app) and after several flights and tests I’ve come to the conclusion that the Moving Map - once I zoom in to the airport/taxiways level already at the departure airport - leads to a 2,5 GB extra usage of VRAM over time (about 3 hours of flight), which cannot be undone neither by disabling the pink moving arrow nor by entirely signing out of the charts app.
Now we know MSFS 2024 has some VRAM issues, so I could attribute some of that to it, but I have no idea why a moving airport map could ever end up using 2,5GB of VRAM.
I’ve double and triple checked this, once I uninstall the charts app from MSFS 2024 VRAM usage under the same conditions is 2,5 GB less after 3 hours of flight. Also the same happened when I used the in-game charts panel (instead of the EFB app) and even while using the moving map from within a 3rd party aircraft’s EFB (i.e. PMDG 777 or Fenix).
I hadn’t used the moving map before on MSFS 2024 so I can’t tell if that’s only since SU2 was released or had always been the case.
