V3 Readiness and other stuff

(1/5) > >>

Dimon:
Folks,

Will the installers be V3-ready as of tomorrow? Can't wait to test VAS usage at CYVR.

Also, if you were part of beta-team, could you please comment on VAS savings over 2.5? Rob A. is claiming that those savings are close to 800MB-1GB and that's A LOT. We don't even need 64bit version in this case, I guess.

Thanks in advance

Bruce Hamilton:
Yes, we still need a 64 bit version.  May be better on VAS, but still has a 4 gig limit.  I respect Rob A., but I'm skeptical of his 800mb-1gb assessment.

Dimon:
We will be able to make our own conclusions by the end of this week. I will keep both v2 and v3 and make tests with totally identical environment (scenery, planes, ai)

Well, even if Rob's assessment is wrong by double, we'll still be in much, much better shape.

Even if this isn't 100% true, this makes me happy:

"Improved memory management reducing overall VAS usage and spikes"

"Unused terrain detail textures no longer loaded"

This could mean that you can now do longhauls and still be able to land at your destination without running into OOM.
