CaptKornDog 41 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 As I have been flying longer and longer flights with the A32x series of aircraft, I've started to notice that my VAS usage isn't quite normal compared to other aircraft of mine. It appears to consume and never recover VAS, unlike other add-ons. I decided to test this out with some interesting results. (Side note: some of you may recognize me from other forums conducting similar VAS/memory usage tests - I've started doing the same thing here on the A32x). With absolutely no weather, no scenery activated, loading the A320 and A321 in the default panel state and literally letting it sit there for several hours showed a slow but noticeable consumption of VAS, appearing every 20-30 minutes. For reference, compared to another popular B737 add-on on my FSX:SE system, which remained constant in the exact same scenario. the A32x eventually would cause an OOM error. Is there something in the background with the A32x that triggers every 20-30 minutes that consumes VAS and never recovers? I'll be testing out the A318 and A319 in the coming days. Any of the developers have ideas on this? Thanks. Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image.

Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted August 21, 2016 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted August 21, 2016 That's an interesting finding. We will definitely have a closer look on this. Thank you for posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Che. 1601 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 For reference, did you load any panel state or any fpln into the FMGS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjohnsonmn 2 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 It is great to see this issue being looked at. I've heard these VAS issues are particularly nasty given the limitations of FSX and the available address space. I'll keep an eye out. If it can be resolved, I will be looking to Aerosoft for my Airbus Collection for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptKornDog 41 Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 A319 data attached with the same behavior. Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptKornDog 41 Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 For those following this thread, removing the ECAM dll file seemed to reduce the effect, at least on the A320. Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artus407 69 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 you mean AirbusECAMD2D.DLL ? Interesting finding Bro ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptKornDog 41 Posted October 16, 2016 Author Share Posted October 16, 2016 Any chance there's been progress toward a fix, or even a hot fix? Would love to be able to use the Airbus on longer flights again. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS-TMT 11 Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Hello. After trying that step of removing (actually just renamed the file to *.d11 instead of dll and didn't remove it), my center ECAMs don't light up and just keep dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptKornDog 41 Posted December 4, 2016 Author Share Posted December 4, 2016 Yes, because you are essentially removing gauge functionality. Any updates on when we can expect a fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows but the team is in the middle of what I have to assume is active development on all of these sorts of gauges and files, given the A330 and the A318 Research edition. Good job pointing this issue out but we may need to give them some time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottecLEMD 14 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Guys This is very interesting. I was plane spotting in my P3D V3.3.5 at EGPF the other day. I had loaded up a TAP Portugal 319 and had it parked on gate 22, using UK2000 scenery, AS2016, ASCA, GSX. I filled the tanks full and then switched on the APU as well as the two main batteries and then tuned my Com 1 to 121.70 to listen to ground control. I left like this for the good part of 6-8 hours, in and out my home office all day. Bearing in mind the only traffic to and from the airport was UT2 AI. Towards the end of the 8 hour period I started getting the familiar ding of the VAS warning. The only thing I did not do was take a note at the start and at the end. I had never noticed this before and maybe this will help you narrow it down. If you need any further help I can run static tests for you.

Timsierramist 1 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 I knew something was up! I couldn't pinpoint it and have spent the last few weeks troubleshooting VAS problems since I fly almost strictly with the Aerosoft A320. I'll be waiting patiently for updates on this. Until then, my longer flights will just have to remain grounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
