Then I made a comparison: Fenix, iniBuilds EGLL, FSHud with max AI traffic settings. The difference is not huge. Avg FPS is pretty much the same (with my hardware) - but VRAM usage is about 0.5GB less with 2K. 

Having a closer look at the AI models - I think the difference is not huge, visually. 2K models look good enough IMO. 

To me, the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

It's great if you're HDD space limited. My traffic base folder went from 45GB to 5GB (roughly).

If you had only 8GB VRAM, you would think differently 🙂

So I used texture optimizer to reduce to 1024 and then applied the layout generator to the layout.json in the "optimized" folder and renamed the folder all per instructions.  The FSLTL injector works perfectly fine in 2024; however, I get an error message when trying to inject FSLTL models using BATC saying something like there are no liveries available. 

Anyone experience this issue and found a fix?

I am not sure it's a FSLTL problem, I am flying with default traffic now and I saw one at the departure airport.

P.S. Contrails are finally fixed. 

Nope, contrails are not fixed. Not that I expected them to be, since the FSLTL devs already said they need to be fixed by Asobo, not them.

No problem here when using BATC.

Would you mind DM'ing me a copy of your FSLTL layout.json file from the fsltl-traffic-base folder?  You did run the layout generator right?

trying the update base models again. just keeps decompressing 293 files and then failing....

I did, but I resized the textures to 2k.

Strange, I spotted contrails of distant aircraft during a flight some days ago... Hit and miss as many other things I guess.

Has anyone resized to 1024 and then attempted to get the FSLTL models loaded in 2024 with BATC?

3rd time a charm... finally worked

Yes, I have. But I used the DDS Converter. Much much easier to use, quick and after that I updated the layout.json as well, tested with BATC and FSLTL, works both. 

With the DDS Converter you are able to set some standards and fire and forget after. 

I also reduced ally airports....

I saw some airports using up to 8k textures ....insane...that's why they are performance heavy...and eat VRAM like cookies in MSFS2024. 

I reduced them to maximum 2048. Looks still great, for VR users a great opportunity to gain some FPS at heavy airports like KLGA or KMIA, LEBL, LEMD, ENBR, ENTC....all used high texture resolution.

It looks different. I will post a screenshot. I don't remember where I downloaded it
