Charlie McEwan Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hello Everyone, Hope all staying safe in these challenging times. Can anyone advise, if I chose to disable a scenery /airport /region etc in Orbx Central menu des that improve the capacity of the hard disk/memory and improve frame rate a while back somebody told me I should ALWAYS have more than half capacity available on my hard disk which is SS. My computer spec is:- P3D V4.5 / Intel (R)Core TM i7-8700KCPU @3.70GHz3.70GHZ / Installed RAM 16GB 15.9 USEABLE / Graphics Card Nvidia GeForceGTX 1070Ti0.0 (12 Cores) Win 10 Home / 64 bit BR Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hello Charlie, disabling scenery means that the simulator does not use it and therefore has less work to do. It might improve initial loading time, it will have no other effect on the simulator at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie McEwan Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hello Nick, OK any thoughts on the other point I made about how much free space is on my hard disk, the reason I ask if as I do download additional scenery from time to time some like the true earth downloads are memory hungary with large downloads, for example TE GB South is 41.22 GB , is this in general likely to impair performance?. Thanks Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hello, adding scenery to a drive will not add to the workload of the simulator and will have no effect on how it runs. However, the more scenery that is installed and active, the longer it will take to index it all and start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie McEwan Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 Nick, I should clarify uninstalling the scenery in Orbx central menu so that the circle icon normally green is grey out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Hello Charlie, there is no need to do that and you should not do so. All add on scenery can be easily disabled in either the P3D scenery library or the add-ons list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie McEwan Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 OK Nick, Many thanks, I note your recommendation/s, on my point about the capacity on my hard disk do I need to ask Lockheed Martin, as I say someone warned me (not from Orbx) that I must always retain more than half capacity on my hard disk> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 As I understand it, it is only the write function that can slow down and scenery is read, once installed onto the disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
