Please fix the Vram In EHAM v2 it is unusable at this stage

[Jasperr]

one month when this topic is created and still not a single reply of any of the Flytampa devs. This is unbelievable

[Mikealpha2]

My EHAM V2 runs fine with 2k*2K resolution on a Laptop with 8GB VRAM. It stays below the usable 7.1GB.

It's a huge airport. What can developers do other than significantly reducing the visual appearance ?

There are airports out there with much higher VRAM usage, e.g. Latin VFRs KMIA, KFLL or LEMD. They made non-PBR versions, but VRAM is still above EHAM. Or take Pilots Alicante (LEAL), similar VRAM usage as EHAM , but it's a much smaller airport, and no one complains about that.

The VRAM requirement for AMSv2 is higher than previous versions, as expected, but was heavily optimised. The RAM load is not excessive, and during testing with multiple harware and software setups (including FSL, PMDG, -/+ ORBX products) has not shown issues we need to look at. Proper optimisation/management of all 3rd party add-ons is not often easy, i understand, but there is no further optimisation to do at AMS v2.

if however, it is still un-playable for you, please email support@flytampa.com for a refund request.

OK!

Hello,

same issue here. What helps here was reducing all parameters, switching off everything what can be switched off in the configurator. reducing the resolution within the sim to 1024 x 1024.

Flying the FSL airbus A321 with HiFi weather, AIG traffic to 50% ( lower settings don't really help) and GSX I don't come below 6.1 of 6.9 to 7.1. GSX needs about 0.3 GB VRAM itself.

Reducing more rises the question if it makes really sence due to fun using the simulator just to be able flying to Amsterdam. Even Las Vegas use to be better on my system. I don't know why.

If refunding is the only possibilty then ok, but is this the only solution?

King regards
Michael

I had FT Amsterdam EHAM version 2.0 installed in P3Dv5.3 getting 18fps or lower. With the version 2.1 I am getting 20fps and sometimes higher up to 23fps. By changing the P3D graphics of 4K resolution to 2K the fps increased greatly. I was testing with CS-767 plane. I returned the Resolution from 2K back to 4K and I am OK with 20 to 23 fps.
I didn't test the Arrival to EHAM yet.

Just emailed support asking for a refund on Amsterdam V2. I have sceneries for about a dozen other airports with not nearly as much of a frame drop/random crash rate. Love all of your other sceneries but this one won't work for me

[trisho0]

I have the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti OC with 11GB GDDR6. Any FlyTampa scenery works fine in my system with DELL Monitor AW2721D and I have over than 400 sceneries installed. Almost all the airports of this Planet (lol). The only side effect is the SIM loading time of about 4 minutes.
So, maybe your video card needs more VRAM to enjoy graphics as well.

I turned down most of the settings in the Configurator, but I'm not sure if all makes sense.
Could somebody point out which of the settings will affect VRAM usage or are recommended in order to save VRAM?
I usually have good framerates (around 40fps) at Amsterdam, but the VRAM is just running full until it crashes.

Thanks.

Might be worth spending a bit more time on the complaints about VRAM aswell.
Many friends who I fly with, with some mega computers have the VRAM issue.
Just turned down all the settings and still running out of VRAM.
Maybe the fix of a LITEX pack like the old V1 would be a solution?

Try P3D settings graphics resolution 4K changing to 2K, restart the sim.

Guys, don't expect to run all the shit you run in memory, complex aeroplanes, weather, Ai, Orbx landscapes and still be able to fit a complex scenery ontop of it.

Limit the textures to 512 for your shitty videocards or get a card with sensible amount of VRAM for 2022.

The ESP engine has had CTD problems for 20 years. I doubt theres much Flytamp can do other than downgrade the airport to look like shit and upset those of us with good hardware.

A LITE installer could resolve Video RAM problems.

I have about 50 add-on airports. And I run them with a professional aircraft (Prosim B738), 115 AIG airlines, Active Sky weather, GSX ground services, P3D, ORBX landscapes, VoxATC. I have NO problem with 49 of them, using my 8 GB VRAM graphic card (nVidia 1080 GTX). They require about 3 GB VRAM when parked at the gate. EHAM v.2 requires 5.1 GB when parked at the gate. During flight it reaches my maximum of 7.3 GB VRAM and CDT as a result. I appreciate that FlyTampa made an awesome EHAM scenery, but even with all or a lot of options checked out, it is unflyable for many simmers. A new graphic card with 16, 32 or more GB VRAM is VERY expensive and it is questionable if it can be installed in my PC. A new sim PC costs me € 3.500, so that is not an option. A refund may be an option, but I support the wishes for a Lite pack.
