May 13, 201610 yr I was lumbering along the Northeast US at FL350 and started getting VAS warnings. o.O VAS? Up hear? I rarely get VAS warnings. Even the 777 at KSFO is fine. On the other hand, I rarely pay attention to things that can cause VAS problems up high. I cut back my clouds and eventually VAS dropped back to 3500MB. So, what can cause it and what are your settings to reduce its use. Here's what I have up there... Active Sky Next Orbx Global Orbx Vector Did I mention the 777? Oh, I did. My graphics settings down low are pretty high but...jeez...that stuff is way down there. Maybe it was being loaded even from that high up? EDIT: I suspect I know what did it. I was flying over NYC and I have Drzewiecki Design scenery. I'm guessing it loads even though you're six miles up. I'll try it again with it disabled.

May 14, 201610 yr Try to also disable Vector, as VAS hog and you can't see road from that high anyway. Vu Pham i7-13700K 5.2 GHz OC, 64 GB RAM, RTX5090, SSD for Sim, SSD for system. MSFS2020, XP-12, DCS
May 14, 201610 yr If I were you, I would only enable the sceneries you need for a specific flight, perventing that not required sceneries will load as you fly over them.Personally I have a base set loaded (FTX, Vector, Mesh etc) and only the 2 add-on airports that I fly from/to. Initially it is a bit of work, restructuring your scenery.cfg but in the end you will benefit from it. Alternatively you also can use a tool like SimStarter NG where you can define multiple scenery configs and load these automatically when P3D starts. I started to use SimStarter recently and I must say it is a great tool. It has some issues but they get ironed out.

It has some issues but they get ironed out. I use SimStarter NG. Yes...great tool. Yeah, disable at least the heavy hitters. I've been pondering the simplest way to do that. What I may do is make some areas their own scenery config area...a dog house where they only get loaded if I specifically ask for them. Pretty sure that's what it was...NYC.
