June 14, 20169 yr I fly mostly the PMDG 777-300ER and the default planes. I also have REX Soft Clouds. Should I set my texture_Max_load= 1024 ?. Does the 777 have any 2048 or 4096 textures ?.

June 14, 20169 yr Don't quote me on this, but I think that the 777 uses 1024, 2048 & 4096 texture sizes. I've been using 2048 with no degradation in performance with P3D v3.2. Using 2048 will (in my case) lower my VAS usage. Safe & smooth flying, Clarke Ramsey
June 14, 20169 yr I use 4096 without any significant impact on VAS or framerate. If there is an impact, it is usually due to how a developer designed their scenery and has nothing to do with PMDG products. Dan Downs KCRP
June 14, 20169 yr Moderator Should I set my texture_Max_load= 1024 ?. Does the 777 have any 2048 or 4096 textures ?. Texture Max Load settings of 1024, 2048 or 4096 only apply to scenery, clouds, and water textures but has no impact on the textures used in the user aircraft. So for example, say you set the TML to 1024 but the T7 or NGX has 4096 sized textures for the exterior or interior, the aircrafts 4096 textures will still be displayed at those resolutions while the other scenery outside the aircraft will be capped at 1024.

June 15, 20169 yr I did not know this! Thanks Jim. I did notice very little difference in VCs between 1024 and 2048 - now I know why :smile: Bill 😎FS2024 • Currently in 'GA mode' : A2A Comanche 2024 & Aerostar • Black Square C208, Bonanzas, Barons, TBM850, Dukes • COWS DA40 & DA42 • FSW Legacy, C24R Sierra & C414 • Echo Falco F8L • FFX HJET, Visionjet and P180 2024 • Got Friends A32 Vixxen • FSReborn Sirius TL3000, Sting S4 and Piper M500 • Flyboy Rans S6S • Skyward DA50RG • SWS Zenith CH701, RV-8, RV-10, RV-14, PC12 • Milviz C310R • Air Foil Labs Bristell B23 TrackIR • BeyondATC • PMS GTN Payware • RealTurb • Axis & Ohs • FS Realistic Pro9800X3D • RTX 3080 • 64GB DDR5-6000NPPL licence holder in the UK
