OPAQUE_SHADOW_TEXTURE_SIZE=2048 —> 1024
TRANSLUCENT_SHADOW_TEXTURE_SIZE=512 —> 256

What does this do?

Divides the used textures in 2 = 4x less sizs

There is a very distinct difference between the transparent shadow and the opaque shadow. To begin the transparent shadow by definition lets light pass through the object. This allows for the contour of the object to be revealed. With the shadow producing a contour, the resulting image has a texture and becomes touchable. The opaque shadows stop al light from passing through. Blocking all light, the shadow creates an outline rather than a contour.

Michael, you should install Win 10 2004 on your machine.
It really did change my flying experience with P3Dv5.

No more CTDs or DGXI errors for almost a week now.

Windows 2004 update seemed to also fix a lot of my CTD and BSOD issues as well. And also gave me an additional 1GB of VRAM which is awesome! I will have to do further testing to see if those previous CTD/BSOD issues I had before come back. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hope that the update fixes it once and for good.

Also the Active Sky update seem to have also fixed CTD issues as well. So not sure if its a combination of both Windows 2004 update and Active Sky or one or the other that fixed those issues for me. Either way, as long as I get my sim to run without any of those problems I'm happy!

Thanks, downloaded the little tool to upgrade with, and about 40 minutes later i tried same settings at EHAM without any CTD. 

I noticed VRAM says Max limit /10.1gb vs 9.2GB on 1909.

Did a KDCA-KLGA in the Maddog without any issues. 

Will experiment with scenery draw distance 180000 and terrainview =true
