September 9, 20205 yr P3D v5.HF2 ...along the Flordia Keys...heading towards Miami. 3,500 FT ASL ------------------------------------------------------------- [TERRAIN] TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP=10 What a difference...wow! Some have complained about this title's jagged water masking and shoreline....WHAT? WHERE?!?!?? Perhaps on their system...and a local system issue, but certainly not on mine! ...and until MSFS steps upto the plate on realistic shallow water depth, and coral...algae, TE-Florida and P3D is killing it! This truly looks fabulous, Orbx....great job! Great job! I personally believe that this TE title is the best all-round performing one out there. Absolutely no texture degradation, morphing, or popping, even at over 160 knots. Good job! Edited September 9, 20205 yr by Sesquashtoo
September 12, 20205 yr Author Just an FYI...with this tweak, I can't run P3D v5HF2 full out, and try to start at Miami...for before the sim even plops me at my chosen gate...I get the Video Card Hung BS of D., even with E.A. turned off. This is a first. So...just a warning...it looks great, having an up-tick on textures, but if you have an 8 GB card, such as my GTX1070, AND, you have the graphic sliders max'ed...you ain't gonna get to your airport. Flying as you see here in this mode over the keys..out of Key West...was no problem to load, and fly. Just around TE-Florida's Miami auto-gen load in. Cheers,

Cheers, Those pics look a lot like my TE-FL for XP 11. The primary reason why I stuck with P3D v4.5 is because PTA allows me to change water colors. My pics look more like the tropics. See some pics I posted here: https://orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/199671-te-fl-keys/ I can't understand why this region was released when most of the airports are a "bouncy" mess. They added mesh and it creates bumps all over the region and it affects most airports. FL is mostly flat. Mesh is not really needed throughout the state. Have you landed at any airports? Try KLEE & Tallahassee. Airports are bumpy! Please test and verify. I'm also experiencing poor performance at the two major cities of Tampa & Miami. It's the same issue I have with XP 11. Low & unacceptable fps. Most roads are white. They need to make the roads the right color. Why did they do this? Lastly, night lighting can be improved. Dusk lighting is beautiful, night not so good. Overall, I'm happy with TE-FL. I like the beautiful coastlines, photo textures, autogen, and 3d lighting. I will try the tweak: [TERRAIN]TEXTURE_SIZE_EXP=10 I tried it in the past and did not like the decrease in loading times (the sim took a lot longer to load) and it did not add anything to my visual experience. Heck I even have HD textures unticked and I still see beautiful crisp images. Jose MSFS

It make a difference and all of a sudden loading times are the same as without the tweak. Thank you! Jose MSFS
