I am wondering as FSX SE has a better VAS management and OOM are way less, if this can't be done for P3D...

Prepar3d right now cannot be compared to FSX or FSX SE. LM has changed much of how the sim operates coding wise and utilizes different technologies in regards to rendering. P3D can OOM but, I have yet to see the majority of its user base have this issue. The ones which do are pushing the software over their hardware's limits.

Not apples with apples. Add shadows, DX11, tessellation, volumetric fog, etc etc etc and then see how fsx manages vas. If it could only be compared it would be interesting.

You've got that right!

P3D isnt the same as FSX thats right, including because LM started optimising memory use from early 2.x versions... So the simple answer is P3D already does it...

 

I can make P3D OOM, interestingly enough the easiest way is simply to start a flight and look straight up into the sky, that seems to bring it on really quickly . Any other scenario at all I bet my bottom pound FSX will OOM and P3D wont given a similar add-on load..

That's a pretty safe bet Kevin, considering :

The beauty of forums is how we can all make claims and statements about the software/hardware that we aren't using,

Yes, I don't have SE but I can guarantee that it is much better than FSX and P3D (which I do have)

That's a tongue in cheek comment, right?  There isn't anything fundamentally different in SE over regular FSX is there?

P3D works for me.   I am able to do 4 hour flights without sweating at all.   I was lucky to get 2 hours in on FSX.    You can OOM P3D really quick to if you go on to the aircraft loading page and rapidly click on every single plane in your list if you have a lot.    The ding of death starts.  It loads all those airplanes in fully and doesn't let it go.

Dave, I do use FSX, I do use P3D, I do use the same addons in each. My comments about OOMs in each are based on practical extensive experience. Note I never claimed or stated anything about FSX SE. Pray enlighten us as to the relevance of your previous post, other than to highlight the fact you failed to properly read or understand mine?

Kevin,

 

The title of this thread is FSX SE has .............

 

Pray enlighten us what is the point of YOUR post if you are extolling the virtues of P3D over tMicrosoft FSX boxed  ...... silly me for thinking you were talking about the product that was the subject of the O.P.

This is SO true!      Seen so much of this, this week.

Me too thought the Steam version actually had better VAS management, as the title said. Microsoft probably haven't done anything to this product. 

P3d offers more  eye candy , for the pilots that wants  to  fly outside the window , its really a beautiful sim ,(.but at a cost )

the  new fsx se  offers to   the hard core flyer  that  fly on Vatsim and with virtual airline the only choice for long distance ,(multipule leg )

Sure  you can  fly  with p3d  but  you need to monitor VAS  save and  reload  , (not good on Vatsim )

FSX-SE  went  with stability instead of super  high eye candy , it gives us a choice ...

I didn't fly SE on a long-haul flight when I had it installed, but I haven't hit OOMs on 4+ hour flights in P3D 2.4; MS:FSX would give me issues on the same legs (one thing that seems painfully obvious is how much better the new ORBX sceneries are optimized in comparison to the UK and Ireland).
