Running out of VRAM? Try pausing the sim for 30 seconds and watch the drive light flicker as RAM is recovered. When it stops flickering, unpause and continue the flight...

dogdish Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Your on FSX for 8 straight hours? Are you on a x64 operating system? FSX Virtual Address Space (VAS) probably gets close to full. If you got Prepar3D, this would probably not be a concern. Even a real pilot would probably need to use the restroom. Can't you save your flight (restroom break), restart FSX and continue?

dogdish Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 how do i check VAS and what to do if it gets full? If you you have FSUIPC4 installed (Not sure if you need to register for this function to work), it has a built in VAS monitor which can be displayed on screen and will make a 'chime' sound every 10 seconds when VAS falls below 250mb.

Hunonymous Posted July 2, 2019 Author Share Posted July 2, 2019 alright i think i found a solution after searching a bit i found on a post on steam fórum of FSX of a guy who had a similar problem, it seems that if you delete the Shaders folder everytime before starting FSX, at \AppData\Local\Microsoft\FSX\ it will fix, im not sure yet but i did the same flight, Brazil to UK 2 times, one without FSXWX and the other with it and i had no stuttering, later ill try even longer flights that are in range of my 777-200ER and i'll post an update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
