August 16, 20196 yr Hey guys, I am just trying to figure out on what the load times are for the 80gb 2018 Pilot's NG mesh vs 2010 FTX (25gb approx) one. I have the 2010 FTX version. Just debating to update or not. I am assuming that there could be performance update as one is made in 2010 with probably fsx sdk and 2018 is made with prepar3dv4 sdk/tools/encoding etc and well geared for 64bit sim Follow up question will be - is 2018 NG 80 gb vs 2018 FTX version (25gb) better or pretty much the same in terms of performance --- yes I know it is loaded question. Thank you Edited August 16, 20196 yr by Skywolf How I Evaluate Third Party Sim Addon Developers Refined P3Dv5.0 HF2 Settings Part1 (has MaddogX) and older thread Part 2 (has PMDG 747)
August 18, 20196 yr Author Well - Looks like I will give an update. I bought FS Global 2018 NG Ultimate (80gb), and I have a PCIE SSD - let me say - Prepar3d boots it up super fast, but wow wow, I never realized how much difference this is from 2010 mesh. I am able to see land elevation changes in default p3d area is amazing detail. Just blown away. Even tried Orbx Global+Vector+openLC area in KLAX, and it was completely different from FS Global 2010 mesh that I was using. FS Global 2018 does boot faster in Prepar3d 4.5hf1 vs my previous FS Global 2010 How I Evaluate Third Party Sim Addon Developers Refined P3Dv5.0 HF2 Settings Part1 (has MaddogX) and older thread Part 2 (has PMDG 747)
