Hi,

 

Since UTX is available so far for USA and Europe only, I'm just wondering whether it would be possible to de-activate Vector for those regions and make it active for areas that aren't covered by UT, Canada and Middle East for example.

 

Thank you

Just have Vector at a lower priority than UTX. Then, UTX will show in areas it covers and Vector will show in areas UTX does not cover.

Don't wanna do this as UTX + Vector together = perfect OOM combo. Either one or another.

Then use a tool like "simstarter" where you can have different scenery sets depending on the area where you want to fly. I use it to fly with PMDGs T7 in airports like Heathrow, Toronto or Dubai. In such cases I have disabled both UTX and FTX Vector and every ORBX entry. No OOM so far. In other airports and/or less demanding aircrafts I use either UTX or FTX Vector. If I fly only within ORBX regions I have disabled both Vector products again.

Harry,

 

Could you please share a link to this simstarter tool? Cannot google it

 

Thanks

Did you test this? I thought if UTX is installed above Vector than only UTX stuff is showing in the sim (when flying in UTX region) and Vector stuff is excluded therefore VAS should not increase because of Vector. Is this assumption wrong?

No Tomasz, you are correct. Having both does not increase OOM chances. Vector alone will do that more than UTX. All in all, I found that I preferred UTX and just disabled Vector. Visually I don't really notice the difference with it gone but I'm not checking anything specifically. I juust get overall better performance with just UTX.

 

But to repeat - having them both does not by itself increase the OOM chances - they are not loaded together.

I have UTX USA and Vector with UTX USA is having higher priority over Vector. I have tested two scenarios

 

1. Default F22 at Langley initial load with UTX USA alone - 2.0GB free VAS.

2. The same set, but with UTX USA and Vector - 1.7/1.8 GB of free VAS

 

Yes, visually Vector does not interfere with UTX, however it's still part of the sim if active at P3D and suck some portion of VAS out.

Well, 300MB of VAS for not even showing up is a lot!
