Mr.Torture Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Hi, My FSX keeps running out of memory. I was able to fly one flight after I installed it and now I cannot complete a flight. I have a few reskins but I do not think that would effect it. I have FSX Gold Edition and I am on Windows 10. I have an i7-4790 processor and a GTX 1070 graphics card with 32gb of ram. It is starting to get really disheartening not being able to complete a flight. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdish Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Reskins, AKA Repaints, AKA Liveries CAN EFFECT your memory. I have a QualityWings 787 and I installed a livery that had a total folder size of 401gb! The author was describing it as a 32bit, 4K masterpiece. I kept running out of memory (OOM) every time I loaded that particular livery. Most of the other's were about 1/4 the size. I ran his textures through DXTbmp and converted/reduced them in size and it no longer causes my FSX Gold Edition to OOM.

jorgen.s.andersen Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 To help with OOMs, tune your FSX.CFG, using the tips here: http://kostasfsworld.wordpress.com/fsx-software-and-hardware-guide/ Large, complex sceneries can also cause OOMs as FSX runs out of VAS, which is the 4 GB area that a 32-bit application like FSX can access.

StringBean Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 Hi, try 4gb patch to update fsx.exe http://www.ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php FSX w/sp2 is already LargeAddressAware, that patch is not necessary. peace, the Bean WWOD---What Would Opa Do?

longbreak754 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Are you sure that this is related to a OOM issue and not something else. What actually happens - Is there a 'regularity' to it - i.e. does it happen after a set period of time (say always after 30-40 mins)or it is random (say sometimes only after 10 mins whilst at other times it may be much longer). Does the flight simply 'freeze', either with or without sound, or does it exit to desktop? What errors messages, if any, do you get? Do you make a lot of cockpit switch selections or click on the menu system extensively during the flight - these actions can also cause issues that may not directly cause or be related to an OOM. The more details you give the more likely you will a resolution to the problem...... Regards Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
