Cause of giant ND issue in P3D v5

[LRW 1]

tldr; If you get the error shown below and click "Retry", P3D v5 will change COCKPIT_HIGH_LOD from the default of 1 to 0 and there is no UI option to change it back.

 

This might help others with the same issue.  I had the problem of the giant image in the ND on the A320.  I found the solution here of changing COCKPIT_HIGH_LOD=0 back to COCKPIT_HIGH_LOD=1.  I discovered how the default of 1 had been changed 0 in my case.  I tried out the TFDi beta of the 717 and got the VRAM OOM error shown below.  I selected Retry to see what it would do and it lowered lots of settings.  I didn't know that one of those was to change COCKPIT_HIGH_LOD from 1 to 0.  I did notice that the displays had all become blurry.  After installing the 31x and 32x Pro packages I had the ND problem.  Once I found the solution in one of the forums here I went back to the 717, duplicated the error and verified that it had changed COCKPIT_HIGH_LOD from 1 to 0.

 

I'd recommend that if you get the below error don't click "Retry".  Click "Abort" and change any graphics settings yourself when you restart.
