V2.0 update,
There are add-on aircraft data that rewrites the MSFS default effects, so the method has been changed to take priority over those add-ons.
-----------------------------------------------------------
For Low to Middle - spec PC.
This mod is a Simple File improves Jet fighters' framerate drops due to " Vapor Effects ".
( Default F/A-18 and Addon F-15, F-16, M-346 etc ... )
Frame rate will not be improved for aircraft data that does not have the FS2020 default vapor effects.
However, many add-on fighter aircraft use default vapor effects.
If the add-on Aircraft has the original Vapor Effects, I think you need to rewrite model.xml or stop loading the spb file.
Depending on the graphics board and graphics settings, there may not be much improvement.
< Installation >
You will need to copy the files yourself because I cannot redistribute the MSFS default files.
There are reports that Vapor Effects cannot be disabled on some Marketplace versions of fighters.
1: Copy the "zz-disable-vapor-effect" folder to the Community folder.
At this stage, all MSFS default effects will be disabled.
2: Reactivate all effects except the vapor effect.
Search for the "fs-base-effects" folder on the drive where MSFS is installed. (Use the search function of Windows Explorer, NOT fs-base-effects-legacy folder )
* If you have installed MSFS on the D drive, a mirroring folder may also be created in C/Appdata.
3: Open the default fs-base-effets/VisualEffectLibs/Asobo/Base folder.
4: Copy all spb/xml files in the "Base" folder.
(If you cannot copy, zip the files and extract them on the spot)
5: Copy the spb/xml files to the " Base folder of THIS MOD ".
Copy to:
zz-disable-vapor-effect\VisualEffectLibs\Asobo\Base folder
6: Rename the following files in the zz-disable-vapor-effect folder.
PressTrail.spb
WingVapour.spb
Example) disable-PresTrail.spb
Or you can delete the above two files.
The above steps will enable zz-disable-vapor-effect in the Community folder instead of the default effects folder ( fs-base-effets/VisualEffectLibs/Asobo/Base ).
Fly the default F/A-18E and check if the vapor clouds above the wings are disabled.
It has been reported that the vapor clouds do not get disabled on some fighter planes in the Marketplace version.
< If the Vapor effect does not disappear >
Linear vapor generated from the wingtip is not disabled. Because it has no effect on FPS.
Only cloud-like vapor above the wing is disabled. This will drop FPS by Half.
Some add-on aircraft data such as AN225 (freeware version) overwrites and replaces the MSFS default effect. (These aircraft have the Asobo/Base folder)
Therefore, this mod " zz-disable-vapor-effect " folder must be prioritized over those add-on aircraft.
The priority is reversed from the alphabetical order.
In other words, folder names starting with Z rather than A are prioritized and enabled in MSFS.
If you set the AN225 folder name to an alphabetic character after this mod (e.g. zzz-AN225 ), the AN225 Effects will be enabled and you will not be able to disable the Vapor Effects.
Also, full-width characters such as Japanese characters will come after Z and take priority in MSFS.
If you change the folder name, make sure that this mod " zz-disable-vapor-effect " folder has the highest priority.
Sorting folders by name lets you know their priority.
If you want to get more Frame rate,
MFD, LCD gauges drop FPS significantly.
Disable cockpit MFD and MAP display.
If you leave only the HUD, it may be much improved.
Open Panel.cfg located in the Panel folder in text editor.
eg:
[VCockpit03]
size_mm= 1024,1024
pixel_size= 1024,1024
texture=MFD
;;;htmlgauge00=xxx/xx/DDI/FA18ACC_DDI.html?Index=1, 0,0,1024,1024
Prefixing with ;;; ( semicolon ) disables it.
