Qatsimo

I have not yet installed this myself, but the avatar in hi-vis yellow vest appears to be a free gift from Aerosoft in their updated v.1.31 A318/19/20/21 aircraft packages : ) Nice.

For the smoke Maarten, i would copy: "smoke.0 = 49.000, -1, 5.500, fx_PMDG_NGX_vclight" and paste it in the first [sMOKESYSTEM] and number it "smoke.3" then delete the second [sMOKESYSTEM]. If this gives a desired effect in the sim, ok, if not, I would then delete the "smoke.3" line.

FWIW, "Condor 'flightnr', slow down to 2.. knots". Both, Condor and flightnr. matched with the AI plane that was crossing my path. It then gave away a great show in the early morning sky. I knew about the taxiway instructions, but it seems it also does in the air.

To me it seems ProATC does. During my last flight I saw it twice. The first was a Condor plane on collision course with me. ProATC instructed it to slow down a little when it started to climb like a rocket. I quickly opened up FsMovMap2 on my android to see it had climbed from 38K to 49K where it had apparently stalled because it circled and only 100 knots speed. The second was a plane behind me on short final. Same instruction came to slow down, it then dissapeared. Must have been ProATC, can't think of anything else doing that. Greetz,

Erich, From a post on the P3D forum: AlwaysFullLoad=1 [According to Beau at Lockheed Martin, this edit will force the terrain to unload and reload when resetting flights and changing locations, which can free up some memory. I’ve tried it and it did remove an OOM issue that I was having, when flying into one large urban airport (Heathrow).] Why I have set it to '0', good question, I have no idea. Maybe I was thinking it would prevent P3D to load too much when still in the scenario screen. I have to try '1' Regards,

I am using FTX Global, Vector, EU lc, England. And Ai traffic, WOAI. Maybe it's in the way the sim starts. I always start with default flight (saved with simplest Mooney) to the scenario screen. Then I start ASN weather and choose Airport and gate in the scenario screen. Without the T7 yet I let the sim start to full screen. When everything is settled I choose the T7 from vehicles. Also my cfg contains: [Main] AlwaysFullLoad=0 The rest like Gerard says and both autogen to Normal. To my knowledge AI traffic has only a very small VAS imprint. Sometimes I fly with two traffic add-ons: WOAI and UT2. This because some airports, like Doha have very sparse traffic with only one traffic add-on. I did a flight once with the T7 from T2G Doha with these 2 traffic add-ons, over FT Dubai to T2G Hong Kong. I switched UT2 off before the arrival and all went well. When parked I switched UT2 on again (just for fun) and with every parking position occupied and a roller coaster on the ILS, I still had 600 MB to spare Aerosofts EGLL indeed was money not well spend.

Might be something else here going with this amount of remaining VAS. When I start at UK2K EGLL in the PMDG T7 I have 1.2 Gb free VAS. And it stays about that amount until departure. On the return flight from SEA, although I get the FSUIPC ding I can still park the T7, deboard with GSX and quit the Sim normally. I don't use Fs2Crew, maybe that makes the difference? Otherwise I can only suggest to lower some sliders (autogen), 1024 max. texture, no sound caching and no other add-on scenery in the vicinity actve.

I like Chase's design, the new Avsim logo! I also like Pe11e's version but, too much similarity to the P3D typeface? imho regards,

I tried it! In the benchmarking software everything was like a 1000 times faster than my SSD's speeds. In P3D though everything stayed unchanged. Maybe I missed something.

Lumasharpen!! Another best thing since sliced bread Works in a similar way like unsharp mask in Photoshop, sharpens everything, edges and textures, can read the text "knots" now The difference in the sim is like "Eh, where are my glasses?" "Ah, here they are". Rendered in VSR: 2560x1440 scaled to screen res. of 1080p Lumasharpen setting for this resolution: #define sharp_strength 1.25 #define sharp_clamp 0.040

This one performed an emergency landing. Did I learn something new here? Is a emergency landing a flaps up landing when strong wind? I didn't read anything about flaps being broken or something.

All I would need is the Windows screen keyboard, popping up with the push of a yoke button. I could do a flight session that way without taking the VR device off. However, I will miss it if I cant read charts from my tablet.

Thanks for the tip Gregg, much appreciated. Indeed a very useful tool, Instant Scenery. Not an instant buy but I'm seriously thinking about it. Greetz,

I am just envious about those tanks in Zürich. I have Global/vector/EUlc and the situation in Rotterdam harbour delta is that the tanks, containers and cranes from default scenery are all missing there with this FTX combo. UTX would put them back because of the object repositioning it does, I presume. The fun was about lc's, it appears the FTX solution comes closest to reality for Zürich.

It's not the best solution to have 15 fuel storage tanks in a forest, but always better than 15 fuel storage tanks in the middle of a suburban area. I vote for global/vector/lc
