FSX-SE Side by side testing FSX vs FSX-SE

When I landed my vas was 3.8gb.

 

My hope is that, when you leave the miami area, that it frees up the VAS from Miami.  That's where it seems FSX was wasting the VAS the most...holding onto scenery you left a half-hour behind you.

I flew from FSDT KIAH to LatinVFR KMIA V2 with Drzwecki Miami City in the 777 on the Miami vatsim event yesterday and made it will no problems using the same settings I posted in the video. When I landed my vas was 3.8gb. Granted I would never fly with such high settings my that was just a test to see how would it do and it did pretty good

 

Flying VATSIM suggests your Ai was at zero. if that was the case then increasing it would surely cause a OOM. 3.8 is dangerously close to the limit and I imagine the FSUIPC klaxon was sounding.

Guys I never paid that much attention to VAS burning off in FSX so I dont know if its normal so heres an example.

 

Taxing to the runway at aerosoft PANC over ORBX in the pmdg777 and high settings all around I climbed out at Vas 3600k. This used to be instant OOM back at the gate so Im happy and now one hour into cruise VAS is 3250k so is the burn off an FSX-SE thing only?

 

still falling..3183k

Acutually quite the opposite. This even was called mega miami. 3 Airports participated flying into Miami. KIAH, MCO and ATL. Over 200 arrivals. Just a few pics of my departure from KIAH

It looks like you had a lot of fun!!

This all sounds very promising and very interesting. Is it worth me jumping over to SE now I wonder? You seem I only got into FSX a year ago and have just now optimized my set up with dozens of add ons, controller settings, a cockpit build, tweaks to aircraft cfg files, etc... And have a reliable smooth running sim in DX10.

 

Should I wait a while and wait for developer to update their add ons for SE?

 

I,d hate to reinstall of of this stuff, only to find a crucial bit of software isn't compatible.....

If you haven't had problems with VAS in the past, then I don't see much reason to switch over now. I've had issues with VAS with the boxed version of FSX, so I've switched over. It's running pretty good, although the terrain.dll/g3d.dll CTD issues are back (may be FTX Global related).

It's encouraging you flew that route without OOMs. I'm in no hurry to switch because 1) ASN is still not compatible and 2) neither is FSLab's Concorde-X.

 

I'm grateful there are pioneers like yourself who are doing such valuable work for the rest of us. :smile:

Thanks Daniel Moser - good advice!

And the level of Ai makes a difference too. Do you use a traffic package?

Ray,

 

I use a large self-compiled package with between 80 and 100 airlines in it - bit of a chore to keep it updated ... Can't remember the FSX %-setting, but Heathrow is packed to the brim when I load up. I haven't installed FSX-SE either, mostly because I'm spending more and more time in X-Plane these days, but that's an entirely different story.

[Ray Proudfoot 8,954]

Thanks Soren. Sounds like you're using World of Ai. I've never tried that so comparison is difficult. But until such time as FSLabs make Concorde-X compatible with SE this is just a learning exercise for me.

[virtualstuff 758]

You will if you use the same CFG files for FSX and FSX-SE  -- both FSX.CFG and Scenery.CFG (using full paths throughout in the latter). Also make all the SimObject paths in the FSX.CFG file full paths, pointing to the same folders. Only thing then left to do to make everything identical, APART from FSX/FSX-SE code, is to make sure the Effects, Sound and Gauges folders all contain the same files. Easy to do by copying.

 

This is exactly how I've been making the comparisons. My DLL.XML and EXE.XML files are also identical, just with any entry for programs not (yet) compatible with FSX-SE (like the Vimacore one for AES, and the ASN module).

 

Yet, even with everything forced to be the same, folks still don't believe me when I say I get better performance with FSX-SE. Folks could come here and see for themselves, but I don't know any other ways of stating this here. And now I'm being accused of promoting FSX-SE for personal gain! :-(

 

I'm on the point of abandoning AVSIM forums forever. they seem to attract very nasty minded people! :-(

Yes, I've recovered from my shock at one person's attack. Thanks.

Here is a more detailed test that I did and I'm very impressed
