Tornado Script - Gta 5 Mod - Optimized Low Settings

How to set up TornadoScript.ini File Settings for Entry level Pc's. This gives better performance and makes this awesome mod playable on lower end hardware. [Detailed Description]



MaxEntityDistance = 37.0
This will give the most performance gain. It will shorten the distance that the tornado grabs objects and pulls them in. The lower you put this, the closer the tornado needs to be to pick up objects and cars. The performance gain is big with this setting. It won't throw much debris if you go too low with this setting, and it won't pull cars all the way to the top, but you will run smoother, this setting is a happy/medium for performance and destruction.

VortexRadius = 6.4
This will tighten up the twister and make it look smoother, doing this because we will be using less particles per layer in advanced settings, so this will help with visuals mainly.

MaxParticleLayers = 27
This shortens the height of the tornado by about half, the tornado is already super tall, and with the cloudtop enabled you can only see so far up anyways. You can run this as low as 1 with or without cloudtop if needed. Cloudtop has a default height and will have the same height funnel no matter what the setting. With cloudtop off this setting with determine how tall you want the funnel. So running this lower with cloudtop enabled won't bog down performance as much.

ParticlesPerLayer = 2
Using less particles will perform better, but will look less full. This is why we lower the Vortex size and LayerSeparation, to make these less particles blend together better and look smoother. While gaining more performance.

LayerSeperationAmount = 16.0
Lowering this brings the layers of the tornado closer together. Remember we are using less particles so this will blend the clouds of the vortex closer making it look more full.

Everything else is on its default setting. These settings are used on version 1.3.1
( things may change and possibly run different if there are any future updates to the mod )

Game Settings used in this video:
Mix between high and normal settings. The tornado ran at the same fps regardless of my in game settings(compared high/normal in-game). The Tornado.ini file is where you will see most noticeable improvements. Time was set to around 6pm (latest time before city lights turn on) and weather set to Thunder. Vehicle density on 25%, Peds turned off in menyoo. Different time and weather settings will change the appearance, color, and transparency level of the tornado.

These settings make a big difference without sacrificing too much of the visuals of this fantastic mod, and you can go even lower and run this with ease. This was a mix balance between performance and looks on an entry-level machine. This was recorded using an Amd FX6300 processor with a 1050ti graphics card with all stock clock speeds.
