February 16, 201511 yr Hi, Does anyone know the priority to start lowering settings ? 1. Autogen Slider 2. TML=1024 (just a guess) 3. XX etc etc Would be nice to have a list Thanks Michael Moe Michael Moe
February 16, 201511 yr Would be an interesting list to have, if only to make recommendations to folks who struggle with OOMs. Would be quite easy to compile too, just a little time intensive (too time intensive for me sadly). Formally screen name was Alex_YSSY until the forum software ate my account ^_^
February 16, 201511 yr Add the fsuipc offset thing so you can see the VAS remaining in your title bar. Then it gets easier to figure out which addons are bad.
February 16, 201511 yr LOD is the big one When flying from A to B turn off any addon airports that you do not need. TML helps a lot when set to 1024 if you have hi res airports that are 4096 David Murden.

February 16, 201511 yr autogen and clouds kill it for me. My graphics card struggles when the weather is overcast, and I get stuttering. If I look at the load when the stutters occur, it is when the load of my graphics card goes well and truly beyond the 100%. Will Reynolds Flight Sim Addict
February 16, 201511 yr Author Hi, So far then 0. LOD (?) 1. Autogen Slider 2. TML=reduce from 2048- to 1024 (just a guess) 3. Clouds distance/covering ? 4. Traffic density 100%-0%? Thanks Michael Moe autogen and clouds kill it for me. My graphics card struggles when the weather is overcast, and I get stuttering. If I look at the load when the stutters occur, it is when the load of my graphics card goes well and truly beyond the 100%. Sorry but i am not sure its related to VAS only. Might be just a slow card . No offense :-) What i want with the list is to see which part of P3D eats most memory Michael Moe Michael Moe
February 16, 201511 yr Here's a little comparision I've done in P3D 2.4 (PMDG 737 NGX, AS Heathrow Extended, FTX Global, ASN) LOD 4.5 3.18LOD 2.5 3.04 Difference ~140 MB VAS High res cockpit 2.97 Low res 2.77 Difference ~200 (!) MB VASScen. complexity sparse 3.11Scen. complexity normal 3.18 Difference ~ 70 MB VAS Road traffic 30 2.71 Road traffic 0 2.66 Difference ~50 MB VAS Summarized: Turn down LOD and TML, use 512/1024 clouds. Building density sparse and (as a compensation) vegetation density max is also helpful. Use low res cockpit textures if possible. (Would be very helpful for the 777, PMDG :rolleyes:) Lowering scenery complexity might also help, especially on huge airports, but lowering it below normal can induce scenery problems.

February 16, 201511 yr I am yet to turn down Autogen slider below Extremely dense. TML - 1024 and LOD will help a lot in VAS if you have AI traffic down to 10-15% .. Is there any tool like SceneryConfig Editor in FSX for P3D... That would be very handy to turn off any addon airports Regards, Suvo A firm landing in the TDZ is a good one, a smooth landing outside the TDZ is bad. A smooth touchdown is NOT the criterion for a safe landing
February 16, 201511 yr @suvo Scenery Config Editor is working in P3D, using it every day. Regards, Sebastian

February 16, 201511 yr @suvo Scenery Config Editor is working in P3D, using it every day. So, instead of FSX.exe path, you are pointing it to the P3D path?

February 16, 201511 yr Yeah, it's that easy (C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2\scenery.cfg) Regards, Sebastian
February 16, 201511 yr I will just share my system...P3D 2.5 and PMDG 777 With TML 1024 (from 2048), LOD High (4.5), 4x MSAA, Normal Autogen, Extremely Dense Scenery Complexity, and 20% AI UT2, my results: KSFO (vanilla) to VHHH (T2G) = Long flight and no OOM and more than 700 mb free VAS. KDEN to KIAD (both Flightbeam) = no OOM KDEN just parked (more than 1 GB free VAS) Waiting for FTX Global and ASN, but I don´t think it will have a huge impact. I would say that for me TML for 1024 and LOD 4.5 did a HUGE difference with the 777 PMDG. And the best part is... smooth! Loving the 777!
February 16, 201511 yr Author I would say that for me TML for 1024 and LOD 4.5 did a HUGE difference with the 777 PMDG. And the best part is... smooth! Loving the 777! Thanks , So far part of Top 3 sliders to adjust . Also love the PMDG777. What about loading specific saved graphic options? I think i saw in version 2.4 that you would have to quit P3D and start again. Hopefully we can just save profiles and load via the P3Dmenu without having to restart. Thanks Michael Moe Michael Moe
February 16, 201511 yr Nobody mentioned photoreal scenery? I'm not convinced that TML is a major factor yet, I've only had a few hours with P3D2.5 and PMDG77X but I did make it KATL:to FSDT KLAX with 4096 TML and plenty of VAS remaining. LOD is a major factor. Dan Downs KCRP
