Marco Aurelio Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Hi Guys, I've installed openLC Europe recently and the image became not so good as they would be. No matter how much the FSX scenery settings sliders be moved to the right side....the graphics don't change the image quality.... mainly on dusk time. Please observe the aircraft clock.

Doug Sawatzky Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Hi Marco Have you run the process in the link below? If not, that's what I would try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Aurelio Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 Hi Doogles, As you've suggested I've just ran the process. The result of report was ok, as you can see below. Thanks for replying and any suggestion is always welcome. Marco Aurelio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Hi Marco Putting the sliders all the way to the right would probably be too much for most PCs to deal with and will create what you are seeing, especially with your PMDG aircraft I would start with lower settings and see what happens.

Marco Aurelio Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Hi Doug, You're right...I've just mentioned that to help illustrate the problem. I'm aware about the trade-off (compromise) between performance x graphical quality in a 32 bit platform. Tomorrow I'm going to do another flight during the day taking some photos like the picture attached and put a link for them Thanks once more and you're always welcome.

Voyager Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Hi Marco, Only to complement, bear in mind that this size will double after installation. And if it will installed on drive C,during the installation, the un-wrapping process will require double space that final size and plus 10% .

Marco Aurelio Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 Ok Guys, Let me add some information to this thread. When I was installing the openLC Europe.....I saw into FTX Central 2 a red warning message like that.....not enough space .....some functions might not be installed...... In that moment I had approximately 30GB of free memory......so I didn't understand why the system was alerting me. Because that I asked how many space was required to install FTX openLC Europe. I'm using a SSD (Solid State Device) and REX. Thanks, Marco Aurélio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 I already suspected mate! Now you know. Thanks Cheers, Voyager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Aurelio Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 Hi Voyager, Thanks once more mate for your helpful assistance and attention. Now I need to plan how to deal with this lack of space. Last but not least I'd like to thanks too, Doug and jjaycee1 to be part of this thread. Warmly, Marco Aurelio Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Aurelio Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 Hi Guys, Just a matter of information, here is the final result after a correct installation, I mean, installing FTX Global openLC Europe observing an available space no less then 30GB, in my case, using a SSD / i5-3450 CPU / 16 GB / GeForce GTX 560 Ti ( 1MB ) / Windows 10 Pro - 64 bit / FSX-Steam Edition and Display settings like the picture attached. After installed, FTX Global openLC Europe allocated less then 10 GB. Warmly, Marco Aurelio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voyager Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Hi Marco, Glad you solved your lack of room on drive c. On the other hand I wonder, with the openLCEU installed, how you managed to occupy a space so similar to the compressed add on. Anyway, congrats! Cheers, Voyager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Aurelio Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 Hi Voyager, Yes You are right once more !!....as We can see now through the picture attached. But.....the way a SSD device allocates the space seems different from HD...( I've already read something like "blocks allocations" on SSD ). The fact is, after FTX Global open LC Europe be installed, the system reported less than 10 GB used. I had around 29.6 GB before the instalation and now as you can see on the second picture attached, 23.2 GB......As you already know too, until the space become free around 30 GB.....I had a warning about insufficient space....as I've been reported before. I agree with your polite obervation......" how you managed to occupy a space so similar to the compressed add on ? "......I don't Know. Once more, another guessing like one written above.....

Voyager Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 No worries mate. Cheers, Voyager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Aurelio Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share Posted October 3, 2016 Hi, After my last post on this thread, I've been ran the FTX Central version 2.1 migration tool again and finally I had an outstanding result flying in a dusk time. According to FTX Global Base Pack manual........." FTX Global uses a brand new 3D lighting system that has only a slight FPS impact. However, you should keep in mind that FSX/P3D will always perform worse during dawn and dusk because of the way the simulator applies two layers of textures to simulate lighting hues " ....... so I'm very excited and glad about the way FTX GLOBAL has improved FSX environment. So..... once more...... I leave a link to two new pictures showing a dusk time final approach at EGGP. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B25D4PciFx3NWEkyWm8tcXdFd0E Cheers, Marco Aurélio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
