P3Dv5 Config Tweaks?

Featured Replies

Greetings all,

Hey, just wondering if anyone is using any of the old (or new) Prepar3d.cfg weaks for V5?

Have they all been put to rest or any still of use in V5?

Thanks in advance

I've used none in v5, hardly any that I can think of in v4.

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700F CPU @ 2.90GHz (8 cores) Hyper on, Evga RTX 3060 12 Gig, 32 GB ram, Windows 11, P3D v6, and MSFS 2020 and a couple of SSD's

MAX_TEXTURE_REQUEST_DISTANCE=320000.000000

 

Essential! 😁

I use this tweak to prevent Black textures when looking back at a airports. And the other to turn on lights 20 minutes earlier and off later.

MAX_TEXTURE_REQUEST_DISTANCE=32000.000000

DAY_THRESHOLD=48000

I used that in v4.5 to good effect but I haven't noticed the black textures in v5. Not that I've been looking for them, but if they're there you can't miss 'em!

Unfortunately they exist .... A "good place" to find them is PNW/SeattleX (DD).

I use the one for runway lights:

RUNWAY_LIGHTS_VASI_SCALAR=0.20
RUNWAY_LIGHTS_APPROACH_SCALAR=0.10
RUNWAY_LIGHTS_STROBE_SCALAR=0.30

and other one to resize textures as I'm running on 3gb card at 1080p and that thing saves me 200-300mb VRAM on ngxu and large airports:

TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=2048

For a vanilla V5

Start_With_No_Tweaks = TRUE

Then I must look harder. Work, work, work.

You messed that one up. It's Start_With_Tweaks = 0

Yes, that's the only change I make. Prevents those momentary black textures when panning around.
