andy1252 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Stunning. That was easy! Beautifully crisp and sharp, unbelievably fine detail. Gorgeous to look at. Showing about 900mb free VAS when taking these shots, quite high physical memory use on my PC (around 8gb, usually around 6.5gb on most sessions), and am getting some choppiness in the display. Don't know actual frame rate as I don't usually show it. But I do have everything maxed out on a 4k monitor so I may have to dial it back a bit for here. Worth it though! Thank you, Jarrad, for producing this, and thank you to ORBX for the oldies discount so I even get it reduced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDX Flyer Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Your pics are an 11 on a 1 to 10 scale. I will wait and see how others report the FPS on this one. Who knows, maybe even if it is low FPS, it would be worth buying just for screen shoots on this forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy1252 Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 Thanks for looking folks, and all credit belongs with Jarrad. This is an exceptional piece of work. Now if I can just manage to get my settings down to the point I can fly there at night . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrad Marshall Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Thanks Andy, amazing shots, thanks for posting. Looking at your shots, the following changes should give you a considerable change in performance: 1. Disable vegetation shadows (or dial all the way down).. there are literally millions of trees in the LOWI coverage area, and with all these objects casting shadows, this will be one of the heaviest hitters in performance. 2. Dial down your water settings three notches (if maxed out) - for an area like LOWI, the visual loss will be negligible vs the performance gain. 3. If your master shadow settings are maxed out, dial down the quality a notch or two - there is a huge amount of geometry in the scenery (particularly the airport), toning this down will have a big effect. 4. If you haven't already, turn down AI car traffic to 7-10%. This won't effect the immediate vicinity of LOWI, but will impact the approaches noticeably. All of these will have minimal visual changes. If you are still looking for ways to save extra performance beyond that: 1. Dial down the vegetation autogen density a notch or two. The vegetation density around the airport is extreme, this will have a noticable impact (but also with more visual impact too). 2. Ditto autogen buildings - these will possibly have a bit of an impact. Cheers, Jarrad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually ok with the performance I'm getting in daylight, but I do need to dial something back to be in with a chance of some dusk/nighttime views so I'll try your tips first. And once again, congrats on a marvellous job, it really is stunning - really crisp and full of detail and I'm sure we'll all be discovering all sorts of little treats for months to come. This is quality above and beyond anything available elsewhere. For me, this whole sim experience is primarily about seeing an ever improving virtual world. I like the aircraft and the flying bit, but the 'planes are just facilitators to enable me to move around the world. So seeing products like this rolling out is what makes it all work for me. But hey, don't think you can take it easy now. I know you're secretly working on a similarly detailed version of Southend Airport (EGMC) and that entire corner of Essex, and I'm really looking forward to seeing that. Particularly keen on the new time travel options that will allow me to set the entire area back to around 1960. Whoops! I probably shouldn't have let everybody know about that <grin> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
