FSPS - FFTF DYNAMIC P3D5
MUST HAVE ADD ON! Gain frames on the ground in dense sceneries by running a low FFTF because continuous new scenery loading is not needed and increase the FFTF as you climb to eliminate stutters as you need to load scenery from further away. This program does it automatically!

Update: All The new Latin VFR sceneries look great! However, the PBR could use some optimization. Even this little airport uses 1.5 to 2 GB more VRAM than even FlyTampa KLAS. So anytime I use the LatinVFR KMIA, KFLL or KBDL I have to turn my down textures from 2048 to 1024 or I risk running out of VRAM. This seems to be a problem as I can run most all my other FlyTampa, Flightbeam and Imaginesim sceneries at 4096 with a fps penalty or 2048 for good VRAM headroom and 30fps solid. P3D V5.2 did help significantly as I could only run 1024 textures prior to the update without running out of VRAM.

If you want to run this or KMIA with FSLabs don't even think about it without at least 11GB VRAM and even at 11GB you will need to make big compromises. My machine is I7 9700k@5.0ghz, RTX 2080 8GB VRAM and 64GB Ram@4000hz. To get this to run on my rig with the same settings as all my other sceneries like FB KIAD with Drew Washington, I have to run the non-PBR version, no clutter and bump the textures down to 1024 from 2048. There is no way the PBR version will run except with no AI, no road traffic, True Earth Florida disabled, bone stock Maule and absolute minimum settings at which point you may as well be using the old FSDreamteam. At least with that you can have a good texture size and all your immersion. I resorted to reinstalling the old KMIA V4 instead of V5 so for the same reason. So, that purchase was a big waste of $$. Also as a reference, I can run FlyTampa KLAS in all its PBR glory solid 30fps and 1GB of VRAM to spare. Even the non-PBR version of KFLL and also KMIA V5 brings my computer to its knees. For the 2 seconds I saw this airport in all it's glory it is amazing looking as is the new KMIA so credit where credit is due. However, most of us aren't running the absolute top end rig. And with the great graphics card apocalypse most are unable to upgrade assuming they even have the means. Perhaps a little more optimization and definitely more customization options in the configurator may help. Conclusion: If you have 11GB VRAM or more, do it, you won't be disappointed! However, the rest of us plebes are better off with older sceneries and higher settings. At least until we sell a kidney for that price gouged, black market, RTX3090.

Looks amazing for the 2 minutes it will run before I run out of VRAM. I7 9700k@5.0ghz and RTX 2080 will run this on very minimal settings only. I can run Flightbeam KSFO with Orbx NoCal with very high settings and 100% AI traffic at a steady 30fps and 5.4GB VRAM as a contrast but basically have to turn off shadows, ai traffic and reduce settings to med and low to run KMIA V5 which makes it unusable for me. Perhaps in 10 years when there are graphics cards available again I can upgrade and give it another shot.

Small price for a big improvement. Blends well with Orbx LC and no impact on performance.
REALWORLDSCENERY - ULTRA VFR ARIZONA PART 1
Just installed VFR AZ pts 1 and 2, added them to the scenery library and started my scenario at KPHX. My frame rate was 2, normally 30, and the scenery wasn't showing, just the usual Orbx NA LC. when I deactivate the scenery, frame rate returns to normal. I have these sceneries installed exactly like my PAUN and Talkeetna which work fine. Posted in the forum and emailed support with no response.
