I wanted to add a picture of what PBR looks like for me. I have no other sceneries with this issue.
hi, this is very strange, can we see a screenshot of your display settings? all of them, lighting included?

thanks but I still have an issue with the non-pbr version having pbr jetbridges. I have disabled the city and surroundings and I am a loyal customer but find myself not able to fly out of KMIA. Any way we get non-pbr jetways for the non-pbr version?
hi, please reduce the texture size to 2048x2048 or 1024x1024. it should help with VRAM

Its not acceptable that having a 10GB video card I need to reduce my sim experience to 1024x1024 textures when 4k works fine in all other sceneries.

I have attached screenshots of my video settings.

@ricardo when do you plan to optimize the textures for the new platform? It doesn't make sense to disable new features in order to use these 2 airports....
I own a 1080Ti as well

Thanks

Hi, did you install the non-pbr version? because it shouldn't look like that.

Hi, when we created KMIA with PBR it was initially on P3dv4. We never had these issues, the new platform with its limiations made it more difficult to run at high settings and PBR. Even I with a very high end system I can't run at high settings KMIA.

We did PBR textures extensively using P3dv4, we never expected these problems. That's why we have provided you the non-PBR version of KMIA. It should help.

but the non-pbr has pbr gates. KMIA and LEMD are poorly optimized and there seems no intent to change this. I have options with LEMD and if no intention is to further optimize KMIA this is the end of the road for me.

Yep it's a shame if these won't be optimized...
The PBR is the best looking thing I don't see how we can give it up in v5 it's like going back to v3...
Btw why does the PBR version have s separate installation? Why can't it be done via the configuration tool? It's a headache switching since in the current state some aircraft (the less complex ones) can be flown into the PBR version...

Yes the non-PBR has jetways that have PBR but that's all.

We want to provide the best support and customer service here, but we need your cooperation.

If you don't want to bring down your settings to 2048x2048 which is acceptable in all cases, and still expect the sim to behave great, its not up to us. Its about choices. Unfortunately P3dv5 is not optimized entirely, so its not only in our end, its on the sim. We have already offered you an optimized version which is the non-PBR version, there isn't much for us to do, but to wait and see if Lockheed fixes the VRAM issues that happen, not only with our scenery but with many addons.

All I ask for is a true non-prb version with jetbridges. there are almost 100 gates.
