LARGE TEXTURE LAUNCHER
FSX defaults to 1024 pixel textures but this scenery uses
higher resolution textures. To make these visible a tweak
to the FSX.cfg needs to be done. Unfortunately, FS
defaults back to 1024 textures with ANY change to that
file and you will have to set it before every start of FS. To
avoid this, we include a small launcher that makes it dead
easy. Just select the texture setting and click to start the
sim. For this scenery 4096x4096 is advised. As there is
not a lot of additional scenery in this region performance
(and memory) problems will not be likely. If you find the scenery slow select 2048x2048.
The side effects of this tweak are minimal if there are no high resolution scenery textures, but you can always
set it back to 1024 when needed.
Preparar3d has an option for this setting in its interface and the launcher is not needed for that sim, we just
included it for simplicity. See below the setting in P3D.
