Ladies and Gentleman, I am on a OOM mission...

Time to try multiple  scenery.cfg files. I am going to be using the wonderful tool Scenery Config Editor. Absolutely a must have. Click and drag your layers around with ease, assign groups and even colors! Get it here:

I also highly recommend Texture Optimizer which was found on the SKYRIM boards. Use of this tool on MyTraffic aircraft alone helped me gain 375MB of disk space.

Flying in the USA, I'm only going to load the airports I am flying to and from along with only the basic add-ons. For example, a flight from Bangor, Maine to Boston to Dulles

ORBX Global
ORBX Freeware Airports
UTX
FlyTampa Boston
Flightbeam KIAD

 

I'm not talking about just unchecking the box, I'm talking a new scenery.cfg for every flight...here is what It looks like as of now.

I am going to use REX4 Texture direct with the highest settings, MyTraffic6 and the PMDG 737 NGX with high settings and see how far I can make it. I will also be using CleanMem for the process.

Like stated earlier, I will REMOVE areas from the config file, not just uncheck them. Supposedly if they are only unchecked they still get thrown into VSA usage territory.

Let's see what happens!!

Well, rather impressive. I made it from KBGR to about 500FT AGL on ILS 22L in KBOS before I hit OOM. I believe it would have been much, much sooner had I not changed my scenery.cfg file. Mind you this is with all sliders to right, REX with all textures at 4096 and Texture_Max_load at 4096. I had overcast skies for the final 15 minutes and I'm guessing thats what did me in.

I shall continue testing. Next phase:
Same .cfg file
REX textures down to 1024 for clouds, 4096 for Runway and Taxiways
Texture Optimizer on both the Texture Folder and the World/Texture folder to make every texture down that is above 1024.

KBOS to KIAD here I come

Sidenote, this is the smoothest I've ever had the sim run. It was a pleasure. Even when it crashed I was like "Wow you made it so far!! Way to go P3d!!"
