smx55 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Hello all, I hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I have this computer a while now about 2-3 years. I does a fair job of running FSX. I get some where in the mid 20 FPS in cockpit view and about high 30-40 external view, but out of the blue I'm getting OOM crashes. I have not changed and graphic setting everything has been the same for months. The problem always happens when airport is in sight and I'm a few minutes from landing. It happens with Default airport or add-on airports. The only thing that is new is a nvidia drivers update and I just install FS2 Crew. I'm lost as to why all of a sudden Im getting the error. I have disable FS2 Crew to see if that fixes the problem but it didn't. Any ideas? I have attached computer spec Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Maybe crank your airliner AI slider down a bit! Like you say, getting close to the airport causes it. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smx55 Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Maybe crank your airliner AI slider down a bit! Like you say, getting close to the airport causes it. I tried that did make a difference. Also lowered the graphic setting a bit and that didn't help. All flight where flight that I have taken many times and never saw that error.

Luke Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I've heard of VAS issues with nvidia drivers post 376.33 - but that may have been with P3D only. Given that you just updated the drivers, it may be worth going back. Cheers! Luke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jorgen.s.andersen Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Has the FSX.CFG been tweaked here? Maybe turn back the LOD radius a bit. I had that setting at 7.5, and got my only OOM with that setting. Turned it back to 6.5, and all was well. Jorgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jorgen I will try that.......but I have messed with my CFG file in months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaashaas Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Decreasing LOD will sort you out probably. Lot's of tweaks on Google concern OOM's. Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smx55 Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Here is what I don't understand, I have not had a problem in FSX or had there been any tweaks or changes to the graphic setting in month......so why is it all of a sudden running out of memory now? Could FS2 Crew have change my CFG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaashaas Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Well, you were probably just below your memory limits before without FS2Crew and this júst tipped the scale. FSX is a 32-bits piece of software so it will never be able to use all of your 16G of RAM. It will max out at 4GB's LOD is one of the biggest memory-eaters in the sim. Decreasing it will definately make a difference. You can also leave the LOD as is, but you need to sacrifice elsewhere then. Do you have any weather add-ons installed? Or added textures? For example: when running Rex4 textures you can choose different resolutions. I keep them moderate and never have OOM's. So, yes FS2Crew can be just the factor that maxes out your memory. And yes it's irritating. But nothing else to do about it but decrease some graph settings to free some memory. Also, in between flights I reboot the computer to start with a fresh and empty memory. If you don't and keep flying eventually every system will have an OOM in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaashaas Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Just thinking of another option: when you plan a flight, apart from the default scenery only tick the arrival and departure sceneries. This prevents scenery loading up when overflying it enroute. Just make sure to reboot the simulator after this ticking/unticking process so an new scenery config file can be built up. It's only a workaround but might give you just enough room to keep your settings the way you like.

If you don't and keep flying eventually every system will have an OOM in the end. Makes sense.....I had a feeling that FS2 Crew had something to do with it. But yes I have Activesky, Rex Textures, Rex soft clouds and FTX Global. I also ran FSX with FS2 Crew disable and I still got the OOM, should I have still got the error with it turned off? Or is it still patch in CFG file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaashaas Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Well it's not an FS2Crew problem. It's a result of the way FSX is coded. OOM means your memory is full. The only way to prevent this error from happening it is to lower your settings so less memory is used. Wether or not you open FS2Crew is not a factor; it will load up with FSX anyway. There are loads of .cfg tweaks available on forums that decrease memory load. It's worth a try and will probably fix your issue. But by all means start with the LOD setting, reduce is by .2 at a time and have a testrun. This will impact your experience the least in my opinion (but that's very personal). ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smx55 Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 I hate it when I do a search on forums and they never come back to say if the advice worked for them or not. Lol well I any pleased to say I took a 1:45 Minute flight with out any OOM error. Thanks to everyone for the advice !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smx55 Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 So what exactly did you do? LOL Decrease LOD or what? Yea that would have help if I said what fix the problem..for some reason the LOD and Mesh was maxed out, now the crazy thing is I don't mess with it, I haven't messed with the graphic setting in months. So what maxed it out is beside me, Another problem I had was no matter how many times I set it....it wouldn't stay. What I had to learned was I have to take a 5 minute flight for the setting to stay put. So far all has been back to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napamule2 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 You have a fairly fast PC. So other than doing a complete defrag (try 'defraggler' - Google it) you might want to try Process Lasso 64 bit (Google that too). Process Lasso 'tames' your processes where it won't allow processes to hog your CPU or your Ram (has 'gaming mode'). You need all the help you can get to make FSX 'get by' the Windoze 'mentality' (ie: it's: 'For BUSINESS USE.... NOT INTENDED... FOR FLIGHT SIMMING').

CRJ_simpilot Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 If he has an SSD, you don't defrag, and I highly doubt that will fix the issue. It was LOD and mesh as indicated. OOM errors? Read this.
