Question GSX Version2
« on: September 09, 2017, 06:20:19 pm »
Hi

I just installed the newest GSX Full Installer into FSX.
What slider you mean by this text?

But in the upcoming update, we linked the setting between the Addon Manager and Couatl, so this slider will now control the memory management strategy entirely, both for the Addon Manager, and for Couatl. Which means, if you turn it up to the maximum, *everything* will be loaded at once at 15-20 NM out, and nothing will ever be loaded/unloaded again, until you exit the airport area entirely. The setting will work for FSX and earlier P3D version, just to let you experiment with it, but you'll likely see OOMs on 32 bit simulators. But on 64 bit, it will be your best friend, removing any pop-ups and stuttering formerly caused bv the aggressive memory management, which was originally made to prevent OOMs.

The Anti-pop up setting. Before, it controlled only things being drawn by the Addon Manager but, since our most recent sceneries draw objects almost exclusively using Couatl, the setting because less and less useful.

Now, it controls both the Addon Manager and the Couatl objects with a single slider, so you should see its impact very easily.

Increase it, and get better smoothness, less fps and more risk of OOMs, just like any other scenery out there running under a 32 bit sim.

Decrease it, and get better fps, way less risk of OOM-ing, and likely more stutters.

Note that, this doesn't have any effect on GSX itself (which has its entirely separate memory management method, related to your selected parkings), but only the sceneries.
