Aerosoft HeathrowX vs UK2000 Heathrow Xtreme 3

[WebMaximus 372]

What framerates do you guys get at UK2000 Heathrow Xtreme version 3 (GO Xtreme setting) without any AI planes active?

 

GO Xtreme with ASN running in fair weather, in the NGX cold & dark v/c at gate 305 -> 33 FPS

Normal scenery amount with ASN running in fair weather, in the NGX cold & dark v/c at gate 305 -> 37 FPS

 

However when online on Vatsim with other online traffic and on approach the FPS went down to 20-25 FPS which is why I would be interested to know if the Aerosoft version would be better in that regard.

Yes, I was thinking with something like the 737NGX.

[CFIJose 5,485]

I'm in the teens but smooth.  This is with FTX EU, EGLC, & EGKK enabled. AI 25%. Texture 2048. VAS at just under 3.

 

Here's a quick flight from EGHI-EGLL:

DX9 amd OOM errors?...you poor sods.

 

I'm on DX10...not had an OOM for months and months.

 

Just goes to show, how tetchy FSX can be

In a few minutes (1700z) AirDailyX will compare both versions in a livestream: http://www.airdailyx.net/fsnewsbreaker/2014/9/5/uk2000-simwings-its-heathrow-vs-heathrow-live

For those of you with quite low Frame rates, around 17-20 try disabling the service vehicles in the EGLL Traffic app that comes with the scenery, by doing so it has given me an increase in performance. Before I did so I was getting between 18-22fps in the PMDG 777 cockpit with AI Traffic at 30%, ASN real world weather and FTX Global + Vector. Now I am getting between 22-24fps in the PMDG 777 cockpit with the same settings, just no service vehicles. Try it out and see if it works!

I Still don't know...

SW looks better but i'll need an AES credit pack (right?) which...ya know...I think for me it'd be quite a bit of "hassle" etc

I think I've read at the Aerosoft forum that Thorsten from Sim-Wings is going to release an active jetways version in about two weeks.

 

OK, here's the exact quote: 'I will make a patch for those wanting CTRL-J animated jetways later.'

One more: 'The CRTL-J jetways suitable for FSX or P3D will be available in about 2 weeks after the initial release. You will be able to

download them at the Aerosoft customer download center. The box will contain these allready as an optional install.'

Very nice for me, as I am a GSX user. :smile:

[SpeedBird219 183]

Thanks! I don't know what I have! whatever I needed for FSDT stuff to work, that's it! haha!

[fluffyflops 1,858]

id just be happy to be able to land there without an oom..

That would be GSX, as it is also an FSDT product.

It works at all their airports free of charge (doesn't require a purchase).

Flew CYUL to EGLL, pmdg t7, orbx eu, 2048 textures, asn live weather, ut2 25%. VAS reached 3.2. No problem.

 

This scenery is so much better than the UK2000 version.

 

Very well done, happy.

If you have 4096 texture clouds with REX (if you're using REX) change them to the lowest texture quality to reduce your memory usage, as well as that, tone down your settings and tweak your FSX Config a bit, the more objects and higher quality textures, the closer you will get to OOM territory! 

[Christopher Low 5,354]

Are you guys actually getting better framerates with Aerosoft Heathrow Extended than you are with UK2000 Heathrow Xtreme version 3? If so, that really surprises me.

[Hirdy2013 104]

My frame rates are alot better.

 

Really enjoying this scenery. Great job all round.
