Which texture resolution you chose when installing CYVR ? If you chose sizes smaller than 4096, it's fairly normal you won't see much difference on the scenery, your CYVR texture were *already* running at a lower resolution.

So, what the 4096 switch in this case did, is to disable support for 4096 textures ELSEWHERE in the sim, not on CYVR! For example, in the VC, in the airplane livery (if you used an HD livery), in clouds (if you used HD clouds).

Of course, if you turn off the Addon Manager switch, there wouldn't be any point installing CYVR to anything other than 1024 for every kind of textures, since you won't see textures higher than 1024 anyway, if the switch is Off.

The whole point of having that switch, is that you can SEPARATELY control the texture resolution at CYVR using the installer, but keep using HD textures for all the rest, if you want to.

Not exactly, some objects in the scenery, such as the hotels at LAX, won't be HD anymore. And in the VC, cockpit textures are still HD, such as the PMDG 737NGX.

My clouds were 1024 anyways.

Yes, but the bulk of what consume most of the memory is the ground.

If the HD option in the Addon Manager is set to Off, the VC will be at 1024x1024, regardless how you installed it.

It's not an "Addon Manager" option (so it's relevant to FSDT products only), it's the same global switch that any other utility out there sets up in the FSX.CFG, the only difference is the Addon Manager doesn't require an FSX restart to see the changes, so it's just more convenient to use. So, with that switch Off, every texture in the sim will display no higher than 1024x1024.

No, there is NO difference in the textures of the PMDG 737NGX when I switch it to off, vs 4096.

And, the textures in the NGX are higher than 1024.

According to Ryan, he writes in tutorial 2 that the VC was not optimized for 4096 after all, that is why you see no difference. If they were HD textures, the cockpit text would be blurry.
