P3D V3.4 Worse for VAS?

Recommended Posts

Please make sure you are informed about the functionality of SimStarter before making assumptions what it does. It does not throw in unwanted settings, only what the user told it to change.

I did not make an assumption and did a Google on it to see what it does.  I'm not saying it automatically does this (although I agree you might read that into my comments).  I did look at the Interface and read the information about the product.  Your comments are not appreciated as you made a wrong assumption.

Back onto topic, I'm flying with all my scenery on (on purpose, I know how stupid this really is but I wanted to see if it would work) and that's a lot.. EHAM to KLAX in the PMDG 777-300ER (KLM livery from EHAM of course).. so far 9 hours in and no OOM on P3D v3.3.5.. the Project Fly tool VAS monitor is hovering around 83%..

Glad to hear things are getting better.  Hopefully it will stay like that but long flights (over 3 hours) will be difficult to avoid an OOM especially during the landing phase.  Your system can only take so much.

 

Best regards,

Jim

So.. OOM was close at the end.. I did have 1 crash close to landing, then another on the ground both annoying.. the one on landing was the Menu.dll crash (I think caused by the fact my camera.cfg had stuff in it for v3.4, I've since rebuilt camera.cfg and hoping that goes away, dml.xml, no duplicates in both copies, I realise there are two..) the next was because I was trying to use GSX at the Gate and couatl crashed the sim (I was being a bit click happy with the menus)..

 

 

On approach, even with the re-load I was getting warnings with the chime that OOM was imminent while I was on final...  Difficult to be sure since I had to reset the sim on descent, but I didn't ever get as far with P3D v3.4 (even with a lot of scenery disabled) so I am inclined to think performance with P3D v3.3.5 is better than v3.4 as far as VAS is concerned for my setup.. even with the hotfix.. I will try again later on.. I'm hoping a new release comes out soon and that is a smoother transition.. it's a shame because I like my long hauls!

 

Cheers
