OMSI - The Omnibus Simulator
• Use Material Channels: Some older graphics cards can cause
graphical problems like false textures, “chromed” buses, etc.
With this option, individual graphical effects can be deactivated,
like night, reflections, textures, etc. In general, though, this
should not be necessary and all channels should be active.
• Manual Aspect Ratio: If the physical (in cm) aspect ratio
differs from the graphical (in pixels) aspect ratio, you can
manually configure them here.
Ex.: If a 16:9 display is used in 1280 x 1024 (5:4 aspect ratio),
then the aspect ratio 16:9 (=1.666) should be used here – otherwise,
the onscreen image will be too wide.
• Textures: There are several settings that you can configure that
determine how textures will be handled.
o If you activate Only Low-Res Textures, loading time and
memory usage will be drastically reduced. At the same
time, low-res textures must be available, which is not
always the case.
o You can also conserve memory by activating Limit All
Textures to 256 Pixels, which will prevent OMSI from
loading textures that are larger than 256 x 256 pixels
(except for your own bus).
o Low-Res Textures for Distant Objects represents an additional
variation – the low-res textures will only be used for
objects that are located a certain distance away from the
camera. The maximum texture size will also be limited 256
pixels.
o If Low-Res for Distant Textures is activated, the value
(MB) will serve as the limit for loading high-res textures.
Once the total memory usage for active textures reaches
the limit, low-res textures will be used for all objects,
including those that are near the camera. We recommend
setting the limit at approx. 80% of your graphics card’s RAM.
o You can use Real-time Texture Size to control the
resolution of textures in the rearview mirrors.
