    Is there a way to reduce the RAM overhead on Gas Giants...

    I'm guessing that the Bump Mapped Virtual Texturing for gas giants is what is eating up ram,

    The other planets only have a minor amount of bump/normal mapping, but the gas giants are obviously using the bump mapping a lot more as you can see the bump mapping effect at far zoom as well as up close.

    Can the bump/normal mapping be removed / disabled, it appears that it is optimized enough to have very little performance impact on the cpu/gpu but seems to use a lot of RAM instead.
