Multiple Airport Issue, P3D v4
« on: June 09, 2017, 01:19:15 am »
Howdy:

Have been testing P3D v4, latest build. I am having graphics problems as shown in the attached files. Am flying KLAS-KLAX. Why do the runways look as they do? I am within 10 miles of the runway. Couatl and Addon Manager are present and I just restarted Couatl and cache before taking these screenshots. I let Addon Manager transfer between P3Dv3 and P3Dv4. I haven't tried the other FSDT airports yet. I don't use ORBX but do use Megascenery Earth photoscenery. This setup worked fine in P3Dv3.4. I think it may be because of scenery ordering but that is only a guess. Could it be I am OOM on my video card which is only 2 GB? My system is shown in my signature below.

Many thanks,

P.

Couatl and Addon Manger don't have anything to do with this, of course. As powerful as they are, they surely cannot expand the limited memory of your video card to allow you to enjoy better settings, and P3D V4 obviously requires more VRAM than V3.

The settings that help to reduce blurred textures are:

- The texture resolution slider. KLAX is designed using few 4K textures instead of many 1K textures so, it requires the texture resolution to set at 4K, otherwise you won't see the scenery at the resolution it was designed for.

- The Anisotropic filter. This should be enable and, possibly, set to 16x to enahance the application setting, in the video card control panel.

But the main issue is, a 2GB card is a bit too low for P3D 4.

Thanks Virtuali. I now have a reason to upgrade cards :) Am waiting for the next generation this summer.
