paulmidd Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 With the new YMML V3, I'm having the same problem that I had with V2 - the extraordinary VAS usage of the 3D grass. I'm measuring about 1Gb used by the grass alone. Sitting on the runway in a PMDG 737, I can OOM right away. With 3D grass switched off, the VAS usage is very reasonable.

John Dow Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Yep, I'm guessing the grass is designed for about two generations of computer processing power down the line. I don't actually miss it when i turn it off, which is the only way i can get smooth performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I'm looking into a 3.1 patch which re-does the grass. I think this is legacy V1 or V2 grass which has not aged well. I just need to find a developer who I can contract to do the work and we'll release it as a v3.1 free patch. Meantime, just disable the grass, it's not worth the pain it causes.

Earlier today I loaded a flight out of YMML v2, so I could take a couple screenshots, before buying v3. It was my first YMML flight since changing to P3D and it quickly resulted in my first P3D OOM. I saw this thread, disabled the grass, and then was able to get around the pattern without any problems. Now that I've got some YMML v2 screenshots for nostalgia, I can go get v3.

Dr Smith Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 I would like to add that using the iFly 747 at YMML V3 is a revelation with far better resource usage, the most I got VAS upto was 3.4 doing circuits which I wasn't able to do in the previous version. I should add I have ORBX YMEN, YMMB and YMAV all active as well so it's probably one of the most detailed and resource hungary settings having 4 ORBX airports active in such close proximity to each other. Obviously 3D grass was turned off in the YMMLv3 settings but I don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
