So people are paying this MSN Direct function for nothing from now ON?

Well, they get it for another ten months and then it will seize to exist. I always delete the MSN stuff from the mod that I have in my system because it is not supported in my area and deleting this makes the DATA.zip file smaller and frees up resources in the system. I had a non-msn version in my earlier 2.0 mod and only about 1/8 people downloaded it so I did not include it afterwards. The majority always rules! For my personal mod though, I am not going to have the system load up stuff that I cannot use. That is just silly!

Yeah but Abb you might just create more works for yourself for nothing (or very little thing), as newer AVIC has lot of RAM in it, so the couple of dozains of additional scripts for the MSN and TMC do really very little in the RAM usage.

You can see that yourself with the Resource Meter included in the TestMode files, and there are lot of memory left after you load up everything.

Just my two cents.

as newer AVIC has lot of RAM in it

What newer Avic? The F series has just as much ram as the X series! Even if it is just a little difference, it is pointless to have something in your system that is incapable of being ever being used. In my mod though, it is a little more resourceful as ther is an entire seperate dropdown menu for MSN, plus a lot of HiRez icons. This is just for myself anyways, and the majority of people want MSN, that is why I post it with MSN included

Not that sure but in some posts they were talking about lower the RAM usage of 14 MB to 2 MB for application to speedup the iGO or something, but with firmware 2.x, so I thought that this is no longer the case because I got plenty of RAM left even with all scripts ON.

Wow, that was from V1 to V2.0. The files have been reduced considerably, especially in the image.res file, which used to have a background image that was customizable, but after V2, a lot of that was hardcoded into the Avic to conserve memory, therefore increasing responsiveness and speeding up boot times. This was further enhanced from V2-V3, but not to the extreme as it was in its prior release. If we were to put our present mods in V1, then the system would probably not even run. That is why it is a good idea to keep the fie sizes down as low as possible. When I first did my V4, I did not reduce any of the bmps and the Data.zip was a whopping 27 mb. During testing, the Avic constantly froze (memory errors) and would run very slow. I had to reduce ALL the files in my V4 in its final release to make it stable. My V5 has been reduced even further despite a lot more data and files that were added. I have been running my final non-msn version of my V5 for several months now, and it has not even hiccupped onced and it is ROCKSOLID !

OK. Thanks abb.

Abb,

Not sure if this is a possibility or not, but I'd love it if there was a way to switch off some of your add-ins. I'm not sure if that's a possibility or not, but since some of us don't use the whole package, it'd be great if we could trade speed for certain functions. Is that something that might be feasable?

Hello all,

if this mod is compatible with my add-on, the MB-3DCars1.2a is available here

Thank you misterblue! I have tried this and it works GREAT! You did an excellent job with this update. I will be adding it to my V5 giving you full credit, and yes, it is compatible with my V4. Just delete the original '3D Car' folder and then add the one that is in 'MB-3DCars1.2a'. You will then have to rescan all the cars in again.

Abb,

I dont know about switching off, this is a feature rich mod and it is not expected that you use everything. If you dont use it, leave it and play with the functions that you do use.

ignore this, cant delete it. Mods, if you can, please delete this post

Well, I have been working steadily on V5, so I am hoping on having this up by tonight! I will have included an MSN version and a NON-MSN version for the time being with a EURO version coming if it is requested (as this still has to be done. This will have an easy install method as it is already placed in the appropriate folders, so all you have to do is open 'MyFlashDisk' and paste everything in there saying 'yes' to overwrite. No more deciding 'what' goes in 'what' folder.

YAHOO!!!! Thanks and can't wait!!

This will certainly help with a lot of your headaches. Can't imagine what install problems people could have now.

Actually I can't believe I just said that. Sorry about that

Oh boy....I'll have to free up my evening.

Well on second thought, i'm 41, married, with two teenage girls......I wasn't doing anything anyway!!

Thanks Abb1
