October 13, 201510 yr Very basic question about v3 : Now that VAS has been optimized do we still only activate the scenery where we fly or doesn't it really matter anymore ? I have 368 entries and if I could let them all Active that would be nice... 5950x3d 5.4-5.7 GHz - Asus ROG 870 Crosshair Apex - GSkill Neo 2x 24 Gb 6000 mhz / cas 26 - MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC - 1x SSD M2 6000 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Corsair 5400 case - Corsair 360 liquid cooling set - 3x 75’ TCL tv. 13600 6 cores @ 5.1 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.0 GHz (hypterthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D - GSkill Trident 4x Gb 3200 MHz cas 15 - Asus TUF RTX 4080 16 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 2x Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Corsair D4000 Airflow case - NXT Krajen Z63 AIO liquide cooling - FOV : 200 degrees My flightsim vids : https://www.youtube.com/user/fswidesim/videos?shelf_id=0&sort=dd&view=0
October 13, 201510 yr Good question. But I thought one of the benefits of the VAS fix is that we don't have to implement that painful workaround, because the sim now discards scenery it doesn't need.
October 13, 201510 yr Without any basis in fact or experimentation, I'd say that no - you probably do not need to micro-manage your scenery library anymore to optimize memory usage. The theory is P3Dv3 is now loading scenery in only when needed, and releasing it from memory as you fly past. Your highly detailed departure airport will be long gone from RAM as you work your way to your destination.... as will any other higher detail scenery you happen to fly over or near along the way. -Greg
October 13, 201510 yr Having watched a lot of VAS tests it seems we no longer have to, But I still will as it takes so little time and I just do it out of habit now. David Murden.

October 13, 201510 yr I also leave them activated but has not tested it so much. I like that i finally can make stints or more flights without even closing the sim. FS2crew has a funtion for that and now its really possible. Michael Moe Michael Moe
October 13, 201510 yr you don't have to for VAS..but for load time its still necessary I believe. Its taking a lot of time to load if you have US, EU Asia with lots of photosceneries.. Manny Beta tester for SIMStarter
October 13, 201510 yr I don't deactivate scenery anymore. This is one of the great advantages of v3, because at least for me this was always annoying... [email protected] ∣ Asus ROG Strix B650E-E ∣ 64Gb@6000MT ∣ NVidia 5090 FE
October 13, 201510 yr I would love to test it, but that damn controller assignment problem is stopping me from flying.

October 13, 201510 yr I’m with Manny there; keep doing what you’ve been doing so far,even with VAS management being greatly improved in v3.x;you’re still looking at much longer loading times with 300+ scenery entries!and inevitably increased VAS regardless of the improved management ability,you will still see a difference in VAS usage when loading 1 vs. 300+ sceneries,have no doubt; in the not too distant future people will start maxing out v3.x as well;richer sceneries more AI; more objects, higher res textures; you can see where this is going;you will find yourself in the same place you were before; how do I cut back on VAS,There’s no overhead with a SimStarter profile (a new and improved build is on its way)Btw; it already started,Earlier I caught ImagineSim ATL for v3 on ADX; I thought I was having blurry vision or seeing double,
