Classic British Flight Sim

This is a first for me folks....I think something about this was posted before but cannot find it...?

In FSX for 1st time in weeks as my pc was playing up then this happened.....!



Vista SP2 with 4 gig showing in Device manager...(not utilised i know)

FSX only thing running....AVG shut down and also shut down steam for COD MW2...?

Any help please guys...?

(if anyone is interested my desktop piccie is me outbound from La Guardia on an EMB170 )

Hi Folks

Tony -
It's unrelated to your physically installed RAM,
it's the available heaps.

i.e.
State of RAM allocation before FSX is launched.

Can be dirty due to -
- Background tasks
- Running apps
- Previously closed apps
- Clipboard items
- Resource utilisation by other items, e.g. high-res desktop piccies

Try running a memory cleanup app
e.g. FreeRAM Pro
before you launch FS.

Hmmm. Tony Madge had a thread about this a couple of months back but I can't remember how he fixed it

I've only had it in FS9 and that was just a matter of increasing the paging file size.

I get this if I have a dodgy traffic BGL file.

Ben the only and I mean only .bgl i have installed is the Js one of yours ?

Might just start again and re-install everything from scratch and wipe my C and useit exclusively for fsx but I say that everytime

Tony

I think I might have had a memory problem I've forgotten about

Ooops Not Tony - it was Rick in a thread about Windows 7.

He fixed it by buying a memory manager. O&O.

Hope I caught you before you wiped your HD, Tony

Hi Guys

Under vista i fixed it with BCDEDIT command from the dos prompt box

Can't remember the exact command but a google search for FSX OOM should get you to the info

Tried it under W7 and it just didn't work as W7 Administrator mode is very limited by the Micro$haft Nanny state system to stop newbys deleting anything important
been through dozens of how to guides and nothing works

bought the memory manager and no more OOM problems apart from more than an hour flying in OZx Tazmania demo area no matter how low i set the graphics sliders (stopped me from buing full package as no point if it OOMs)

To be honest i loved W7 when i first installed it but got my first few BSODs recently and Explorer has stopped responding far too many times lately (All with a clean install too)
windows update has no new drivers (pretty sure NVidia latest drivers are my BSOD cause as they only worry about the latest cards & not the 8800GTX which is still the fastest FSX card)

Regards
Rick

Tony, if you can definately dedicate a drive to FSX.... when I was saying traffic BGL, that was on my system, the same would apply if it was a scenery bgl.
