John Venema Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Hello all, Another comparison, unlimited FPS, no ENB, no other addons, virgin FSX install of FTX Global with trike. >http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rvtgwSJ37A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibidut Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Hey John. Hong Kong isent so crowed after all Great to se another "Global". Henrik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetstream1 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Just what I have been waiting for. John, that's one more unit you've sold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orbxtreme Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I just can't imagine the potential market if you gain interest from asian people with a high quality platform like FTX Global. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

domfliss Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Will FTX Global take memory from the video card or main memory? Considering that FSX is still 32bit and has a limited amount of memory (video memory eats into that allocated amount); will there be an impact on performance by using memory intensive aircraft? Would be really interesting to see how much memory was actually being used during these flights with the microlight. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Hamilton Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Check how much is used when you fly an ORBX region, since Global is the same textures, should be similar results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domfliss Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 So; is that video memory or main system memory Bruce? My installation of FSX on a 64bit operating system (Windoze 7) bounces along with about 2GB of main system memory being used. If you couple that with video memory, it's not leaving a great deal left as FSX is 32bit. Flying over places where OSM data is being used extensively; for example Berlin, then more memory will be used. Would be interesting to know if OSM data is being used by system memory or Video memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Hamilton Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Flying over places where OSM data is being used extensively; for example Berlin, then more memory will be used. Shouldn't make much difference, because FSX loads and unloads objects and textures on the fly. If you're strapped for memory, use something like Game Booster to unload all unessential programs and processes before you launch FSX. I gain upwards of 40% performance increase with it, which helps a lot when you have 16 gigs of RAM and FSX only sees 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a 16GB 64 bit system I'm hoping that FSX will be able to see as much memory as it can handle, LOL. FSX can only handle at most 4GB being 32bit. In terms of loading and unloading; some objects will go to main memory for processing; whilst other parts of FSX will go to the video card. If you have 1/2GB of video memory being utilised by FSX for textures and numerous other graphical add-ons, then it doesn't leave much memory for OSM objects. In X-Plane 64bit for example I can use as much as 6GB in total with OSM data (buildings and trees), high res mesh and textures installed. When X-Plane was 32bit, this wasn't possible because I'd run out of memory. It will be interesting to see how Global works with some heavy duty add-ons installed.

cloudbase Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Great textures, obviously an unusually clear day to be flying around Hong Kong, its normally stuck under a cloud of smog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
