Tarik Pasic Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Hey guys, I have a weird and frankly frustrating problem when I switch views (side windows, nearest airport tower) and then go back to my main view, see the pictures below: Sometimes my game freezes and I am sent back to Windows, other times it takes up to a minute to go back to a normal sky, a fully textured plane etc. I tried lowering my settings like scenery density but to no avail. What can I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 As a quick test when that happens, try going into "windowed" mode to see if it looks normal right away. Mine did that on occasion and it was because of a slow CPU and 2 ghz of memory. I would hit pause for a minute and then switch back to full screen mode.

Tarik Pasic Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 I'm not sure what windowed mode is, I don't think it's a graphic card problem but I don't know which settings this is. I tried pausing for a minute and go back but I had the same issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 To toggle between full-screen mode and windowed mode, press ALT+ENTER. Or, on the Views menu, select Full Screen. To display a menu in full-screen mode, press ALT. Do the pause in windowed mode. Windowed mode looks like this: Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

Tarik Pasic Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) I see and so in your case you played with windowed mode and didn't have that issue at all anymore? I will try it with that mode and keep you updated. If needed I will post my computer specs here also. Edited April 30, 2021 by Tarik Pasic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Doing what I did was a temporary fix so I could finish my flight. It would still happen occasionally on other flights. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarik Pasic Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 So you never found a permanent solution and you know for sure that it's because your computer isn't strong enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 So you never found a permanent solution and you know for sure that it's because your computer isn't strong enough? That was it, pretty much! I had a 2 GHZ CPU and 2 GB memory on Win XP computer. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarik Pasic Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 Windows 10 Ultra Gamer AMD 5 3600X-2060 Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3600x (6 x 3,8 GHz) CPU Cooler: AMD Boxed RAM: 16 GB DD4R 2666 MHz/ Max. 64 GB GPU: NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 2060/ 6 GB GDDR6 SSD: 1 TB Intel/ NVMe M.2 Adaptor: Cooler Master 600 Watt (80 PLUS) These are my computer specs, I'm by no means an expert but I highly doubt they are what's causing this issue. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andiroto Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Maybe this entry could help (If you dont already have it!) https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?286326-HIGHMEMFIX-1-How-do-I-install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarik Pasic Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 I had never heard of it but if I don't know what's causing this issue then I won't know how to fix it. Also this: "HIMEMFIX does not speed up FSX nor does it keep it from crashing. It does not fix OOM problems caused by other than your graphics card."
