David Klain 874106 Posted March 27, 2009 at 12:37 AM Posted March 27, 2009 at 12:37 AM You have a lot of things running on your computer that are using up your available memory....Might want to consider shutting down: Skype Itunes files (Itunes Helper, etc.) jusked.exe CTSched.exe text.exe If that doesn't so it, consider taking down Teamspeak and Servinfo. If that still doesn't do it, looks like your computer can't handle MSFS plus Squawkbox plus Activesky and you need more memory or need to give something up...

Joseph Jaster 932528 Posted March 27, 2009 at 07:44 AM Posted March 27, 2009 at 07:44 AM The dreaded OOM (out of memory) error.. This one used to ruin my flights on final and always left me in a foul mood. As David said, try shutting down extra programs that you don't need. At this point, more RAM wont help you at all because 32bit OSs can only use about 4GB of memory anyways. They will simply ignore the rest. I advise against getting XP 64bit because drivers for it are very hard to find, [Mod - Happy Thoughts]uming they exist at all. Even then, FS would likely not see any improvement because it is a 32 bit program. Try reproducing this error while running just FS and SquawkBox; if you still get an OOM you may want to consider using the /3GB switch, but this can be risky, and can screw up your FS and OS if you do something wrong. For me, the /3GB switch fixed all of my OOMs permanently, but it takes almost as much tweaking as overclocking and, again, is pretty risky. If you want to try it, let me know and I'll write the instructions, its a bit lengthy so I don't want to take the time now if its not going to be used I1 - CZVR Help controllers maintain their sanity; file a correct equipment code http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equipment_codes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Kolin Posted March 27, 2009 at 08:22 PM Posted March 27, 2009 at 08:22 PM As David said, try shutting down extra programs that you don't need. That won't help - if you look at the commit charge, he's nowhere close to using up his virtual memory (or even his physical memory, for that matter). It's a memory leak within FS (probably due to scenery, weather or gauges) and FS is running into Windows' per-process memory limit. Shutting down other processes won't make a difference. Your other suggestion might be workable; changing boot.ini to allow Windows to boot into /3GB mode where each process gets 3GB of userspace instead of 2GB, and then hacking FS9.exe to make it LARGEADDRESSAWARE. But as you point out, there are risks and I'd backup my FS9.EXE instance before I did this. Cheers! Luke ... I spawn hundreds of children a day. They are daemons because they are easier to kill.

Ryan Whitford 995253 Posted March 28, 2009 at 06:10 AM Author Posted March 28, 2009 at 06:10 AM Yea I used the 3GB switch, im going to get it to crash again, this only happens when I use the Coolsky MD80 on landing. http://www.allegiantva.org Join if you have skill!

Jonas Eberle Posted March 28, 2009 at 09:27 AM Posted March 28, 2009 at 09:27 AM The out of memory error has been best addressed in this thread: http://www.forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?showtopic=19147 It is a lengthy thread which comes to the end that land cl[Mod - Happy Thoughts] files are causing the problem. The /3GB solution is described as well. Please head over there to gather more information about it since it is not yet fully clarified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave schunk 996646 Posted June 14, 2009 at 12:32 AM Posted June 14, 2009 at 12:32 AM I'd buy more memory - long term Close applications that are not being used - short term Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Morris 920567 Posted June 14, 2009 at 02:58 PM Posted June 14, 2009 at 02:58 PM David, he already has more memory than XP32 can handle. Luke also identified that he isn't even using all the memory he has right now. The problem is not with a lack of memory. http://www.execjetva.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominic Lipscombe 1105519 Posted July 27, 2009 at 12:42 PM Posted July 27, 2009 at 12:42 PM The second error is generally meaning your RAM is starting to die, although Vista has built-in protection to stop it trying to use dead RAM.

Jim Rish Posted July 27, 2009 at 09:16 PM Posted July 27, 2009 at 09:16 PM If you guys have trouble with this then I'm pretty much out of the game. Perhaps I'll upgrade later, but for now I'm using Fs2002 with 1.4 gig Athlon. I just run basic stuff, on voice or text, but not both on departure. Then, when I see the upcoming lag later, I save the flight to come back later and file the same flight plan to pick up where I left off. I got to do it before it freezes of course. That's all I can do. If it's busy at the airport or server, the more I lag, so it just depends. http://www.ambestsquad.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
