Upcoming ORBX TreesHD will also boost performance

[OmniAtlas 93]

The addon will be $20

 

Lets see how it pans out.

It says right on the first line of the thread "Eugene, our resident autogen wizard, has optimized the autogen models for max efficiency" so it's beyond just a texture replacement.

The latest update posted 6 minutes ago on the ORBX forum indicates that VAS will now be lower with the HD trees.

 

 

You've all been informed that the upcoming HD trees will boost performance with regard to FPS, which is a welcome boost! 

 

However a lot of you (and myself included) are wondering what this means for the "other side" of flight sim performance, Virtual Address Space (VAS) usage. After all, if HD trees are 4x as detailed and the standard trees they replace, they must use more VAS, right?

 

Well, logically you might think so, but the good news is this is NOT the case with the optimized HD trees... Indeed it is slightly reversed and you should see a slight reduction in VAS usage!

Not the 10 fps but better than loosing fps

I'll believe this when I see it too. The cheerleaders at the ORBX forum will lap up anything JV shovels at them

Yeah but he does shovel some good sh#t

A bit like a "Sale". Up to 80% OFF, but only one item is 80 off, the other 25000 items are 2% off. Will see once it has been released to market. We shall see then if it is 2 FPS or 10.

No, that's Walmart

More interested in vas usage than fps. More fps is always good but let's face it, vas is what is limiting the amount of detail you can have displayed on a higher end system with complex aircraft.

I'd buy it if vas reduction is reasonable.

Was this subsequent to the sceenshots in one of their posts? I saw VAS increases in those shots. Not trying to be disruptive here. Just curious. Can you give us a link?

 

Thanks

Yea, Yea, Yea............for ORBX!!!!!

 

Sign me up as a new cheerleader!   Never used Orbx until this year. Been flight simming since it's invention, with a brief pause for a computer upgrade.  These Orbx products are fantastic. They revive the whole mountain west, into recognizable airports, to which I flew to so many in real life.  Between some excellent third party airplanes, and the replacement textures, lighting, buildings, etc.....................it's so much like flying the real thing again. Note: I am a GA fan. Don't much care about modern airliners, just the classics. Never been on the Orbx forums either.

I just know when a product is very much worthwhile.

Well, the trees look great and any perf boost is welcome.

 

Don't get the negativity to be honest.....

I will buy everything JV shovels at me long as my sim runs smooth and looks beautiful. Support is fantastic. Products are updated regularly - even ones purchased years ago. Furthermore, they offer airports and scenery that compliment my flying preferences. I have no complaints.

 

It is certainly wise to be skeptical and research every single addon before purchasing, but your hostility towards the joy and excitement Orbx creates for it's customers isn't necessary or productive. The developers of Opus and X-Plane rub me the the wrong way, but I would never extend my rancor to their customers.

Im actually excited for OpenLC NA, hopefully soon...

Same here ;-)

I'm a little confused.  Is this a program that replaces default P3d trees and in so doing increases P3d performance, or is it an optimized upgrade for the tress in FTX global and/or other ORBX sceneries?
