?So now I have to ask why at a big 3rd party airport like KDEN I'm only using 70% vram on my 3060ti with 8gb?  Also no stutters and no beta.

The over exposure is fixed?

This is why it is easy to get confused with respect to how much VRAM is required. I see some (frankly) ridiculous numbers quoted for the amount of VRAM that is being used in flight simulators (presumably 8K resolution on multiple monitors), and then others like yourself suggest otherwise. I know that MSFS 2024 only runs in DX12 mode, but I have never encountered a situation in MSFS 2020 in DX11 mode where the 6GB VRAM on my GTX 980Ti has been overwhelmed at 1920x1080 resolution (and it renders some extremely detailed scenes at complex airports). I also remember my 2GB GTX 770 doing a fine job in P3Dv4 at FlyTampa EHAM Amsterdam Schiphol with ORBx TrueEarth Netherlands rendered at Extremely Dense scenery complexity.

I'm not in the SU2 Beta, but according to the thread at the official MSFS forums, it is: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/latest-su2-beta-exposure-slider-does-not-address-the-issue-with-the-overdone-auto-exposure/713999/127

Is it possible that the sim adjusts the VRAM usage to video card capabilities? I barely see less than 10 GB vram usage with my card. At dense airports I see 15-18 GB being used.

Working very good and very smooth. Noticed that some rocks and some objects seems to be floating 30 cm above ground.

I noticed this too on some taxiway signs. But not 30cm, probably around 10 cm.

You two should go report this in the beta forum, so Asobo can fix it.

Seb said main memory could also be used as VRAM.

Logically, that must be the case, or a 6GB card would not be able to run MSFS at all, bearing in mind that yours uses 10GB.

 

 

I'm reading mixed reports about the VRAM usage, find out for myself shortly. Auto-Exposure seems to be fixed, that's a good one as it was awful before.

VRAM usage appears to be improved in my morning flight, auto-exposure definitely better, performance overall still poor though.

I take it this is in VR?

Flew Keflavik - Ryakjavik the long way round this morning in the Kodiak on my pancake set up.

It was magnificent. The live weather, the crisp scenery and they seem to have got the exposure working correctly now.

There’s definitely something funky going on with the G1000 though. Whatever it was that the EFB loaded into it, it wasn’t the flight plan I made in the planner. No problem with the manually entered plan though.

yeah VR, second flight and absolute stutterfest at Bilbao airport, VRAM 100% then get in the air and 500ft up it returns to near normal, took a few minutes thereafter to become acceptable though. Never had this issue with MSFS2020, sure the FPS was lower at airports/during take off but not as low as this. Asobo claim they've fixed the VRAM issues in SU2 Beta, I'm not so sure and there's others feeling the same way.

What is a flighting build?

I had been running SU2 Beta very well until the latest update.  As soon as I tested the update an old issue returned to my pc, an issue which no longer showed its face since formatting the pc.

Quite often if I go to the menu within a flight, or press end flight the sim either freezes as it attempts to zoom out and unload the scenery or it just suddenly closes. No error message on screen.

Last couple of crashes mention ucrbase.dll in Event Viewer.  Running an AMD 7800x3D, 64 Gb of DDR5 6000mt/s, 3080ti.  Did a lot of tests in the past which left me having no choice but wipe the system, not doing that again.

Ill clear the various cache folders as a test

It's Microsoft's term for a testing build
