Essential! 😁

I was able to get away with the following setting, and seemed more than sufficient to eliminate city and airport black textures popping while panning around. And that is with Orbx SoCal in FlyTampa KLAS in the F-22 flying 250 knots at 4500ft and aprox 15 mile distance. Remember the higher the value, you could be wasting Vram unnecessarily.

MAX_TEXTURE_REQUEST_DISTANCE=18000.000000

Is the affinity mask tweak still being used in V5? I haven’t seen anything about FFTF tool being updated for V5 either....

For a vanilla V5 : 

Start_With_No_Tweaks = TRUE

Absolutely! Thank you sir.....

I'll try 18000 and see if works for me.

I habitually fly with my head on a swivel and I use TrackIR. 🤮

And I definitely recall one or twice over the years having a midair collision. What are the odds? 🤣

thank God it was in the sim and not in reality.😁

I assume affinitymask still works, but, I will not be using it right now, at least not until the hotfix drops next week. 

Plus I am seeing some interesting things with v5 core usage in a vanilla v5 install.  Like Core0 getting mirrored by Core2 and Core4.  We will all know more later, once the dust settles and the hotfix goes in.

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

Perhaps both work?

What do they do?

I don't understand why LM did not change this. Default value = 1.000, Tweak value = 320.000, that's an enormous change.

Well, If you not looking behind you you probably won't notice the disappearing textures as you fly way from them. Anyone who uses TrackIR and looks around a lot will definitely see it but with this value the issues is definitely gone. I currently have it set to 180000 so fingers crossed.

I also use LOD_Radius = 11 to deal with scenery morphing close to the aircraft. And I up the resolution of shadows too.

All hardware reliant tweaks.

Oh and I also use FFTF=0.1 and TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULTI = 180

Thanks very much for posting that! I've been plagued with black textures since using P3D

and never knew about this fix. Worked a treat 😆

Greetings all,

Big thanks to everyone who's contributed!
Here's the Config tweaks I've installed and tested to be the most beneficial in my system with P3Dv5:

[GRAPHICS]
MAX_TEXTURE_REQUEST_DISTANCE=32000.000000
DAY_THRESHOLD=48000
NIGHT_THRESHOLD=8000

[DISPLAY]
TEXTURE_BANDWIDTH_MULT=180
RUNWAY_LIGHTS_SURFACE_SCALAR=0.30
RUNWAY_LIGHTS_VASI_SCALAR=0.50
RUNWAY_LIGHTS_APPROACH_SCALAR=0.15
RUNWAY_LIGHTS_STROBE_SCALAR=0.30

[MAIN]
FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.1

[TERRAIN]
TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_TREES_PER_CELL=6000 (FPS increase of 10-12)

Thanks once more!
Cheers,
D-Man

Does this fix the horrible, unrealistic floating runway lights?
