Yes I have drastically reduced or backed down sliders at night. To my surprise, it doesn't do that much in terms of VAS usage (only about 100 MB less setting LOD radius to normal and scenery complexity, autogen etc to normal as well, 1024k textures). FPS of course gets better, but that is also much connected with switching off cloud reflections, shadows, dynamic reflections etc. I don't need that at night!

I can nearly use Aerosofts EDDF v2 at night together with Night Environment in a heavy airplane (NGX, Airbus etc). Sitting at gate with GSX enabled eats up over 3.7 GB

:wink:

Well I tried doing the flight at the evening with Aerosofts NE Germany enabled. Couldnt even takeoff from EDDT because I ran out of available memory (VAS). And this even with conservative settings (normal, 1024 textures, medium LOD etc). Aerosoft products strikes me with absurdly heavy VAS usage every time. Very disappointed!! :mad: Loading up the same settings at Frankfurt v2 (in the NGX + same settings) consumes roughty 3.8 GB VAS. Totally ABSURD :mad: Running P3D 3.2...

Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to test EDDF v2 today :smile:

To bad you encountered problems with routing. In my experience, PFPX will, if you are up to date with latest AIRAC edition, find the correct route (waypoints and airways) between two airports. The only problem I sometime encounter is wrong flight levels, but usually this can be sorted out by selecting "Upper airways" in "Edit route".

Amazing shots! Please share RTH settings! :wink:

I'm curious - can you press all buttons in the 737? Does it behave accordingly like the IXEG 737/PMDG 737? Functional FMC etc...

I have become really fond of X-Plane but there's one thing in particular which I find very annoying - When cruising at say FL360, the ground tiles (coordinates) in front of you does not load up until you almost approach that area. Therefore, it seems as I am flying towards the infamous biblical cliff. I have set the world distance detail - option to very high but it does not seem to influence the outcome. Also, I know I have all Europe tiles (+W2XP) so it seems strange that X-Plane is so slow in loading them in....

I don't understand this. X-Plane is silky smooth but Skymaxx 3.1.2 is showing a negative value for the video ram (-50-200) but GPU load is "only" 50 % (GTX 970 overclocked). This happened after updating to Win 10 in fact. Actually down to -450 now overflying default scenery (+W2XP) between LOWI and EHAM. Before the update I was only just above the limit most of the time.

But in order to have the Real Weather Connector enabled I need to activate "Grab real world weather" from within X-Plane right?

I am mid air between LOWW and LSZH, then bam - FPS is cut in pieces and I have around 6-7. If I turn weather, FPS stays the same. If I turn off/disconnect from VATSIM via squawkbox, everything becomes silky smooth. This has occurred while on ground as well, but at least there I could reconnect to get rid of lag and stutters. Does not work in air. Is it xsquawkbox that is causing this or some other conflict? I have the latest version. Thanks for any input! In addition, my GPU load is only 30 %.

This surely must be something I have missed. That image look way more realistic that the default lightning of the NGX, which I find to bright and white-ish. Is this a product that modifies the VC lightning of the NGX?

Well thats extremely nice. I was just afraid that this sky textures package would remove the blue haze effect obtained with certain REX texture themes+RSP.

Has anyone tried the Navids sky textures together with this package? http://navidh.se/misc_navids_skyset_2016_v3.html

Of X-Plane of Squawkbox? Running XPL 10.45

That's too bad. The lightning of other aircraft is really unrealistic and a real immersion-killer.

I usually have to pan around in the cockpit a bit for the "darkness" to sort of smooth out. For instance, switching between FMC view and Captain view. I think it is a new feature in v3.

I've noticed that the strobe lights of other aircrafts when playing on VATSIM appear very large and "blobby", especially at distance. Are there any ways of reducing this size, or better, convert to a more realistic appearance? Came over Heathrow yesterday at dusk and the whole airport was like a christmas tree due to all the large strobe lights of other aircrafts :wink:

Running the latest Nvidia driver gives me an overall good performance, but I noticed that the stuttering/freezes mostly derive from weather injection. I only use default weather and injection by X-Plane itself, not Skymaxx etc.

I have the same issue. Have a bunch of videos and pictures illustrating the problem, but I have been to lazy to post it. "Glad" someone else did, as it shows a bug in P3D.

Yes my post wasn't exactly very informative, I know. Will try to screenshot the issue next time.

Quick question - why does FlyWithLua suddenly open a huge text box on approach with the IXEG, after disconnecting auto throttle? I haven't had the change to read the text box properly since you know, I have to click that windows away before I crash. But it said something about IXEG, FMC and authrottle. Anyone else experienced this?
