Heavy VAS usage east of Seattle

Featured Replies

I posted this over at Orbx but thought I'd post it here as well since there's a lot of Orbx flyers here...looking for some help. 

 

I picked up Harvey, Monroe and Fall City today.  Took a trip around the airports in my C210 and they are beautiful.  I started getting VAS warnings on the return trip. I hardly ever get VAS warnings...got one flying down the Thames in London...I just avoid London.  Also, I had a huge VAS issue at Canberra airport that was completely eliminated by turning off the ground poly.  I just noticed that Harvey and Monroe both have ground poly...wondering if it's related but I have no way to turn that off in their control panel to test.  I can fly out of Seattle International and all over downtown with no issue whatsoever.

 

Can you folks that fly those airports what you do to keep the VAS usage down and also to improve FPS in the area?

 

Thanks,

Gregg

Hey Gregg, don't know whether you are aware, but the Seattle area you are describing, is notorious for it's hit on performance, regardless of the scenery you are using. Even with stock FSX scenery it's the Bermuda triangle of the simming world :wink:

Yeah.  I don't have problems with Seattle International or downtown.  It seems this valley east of the airport is more of an issue.  Monroe seems to be the heaviest of the three.  I'm monkeying with the airport settings trying to discover what helps.  Seems like eliminating 'clutter' and 'animated race cars' has helped.
