PatrickM 49 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 That's an OOM! @Emil: it can eat up nicely 500mb when the user change to the outside view Check your fsx.cfg if 1024 or 2048 is still applied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmilG 239 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Hi Emil, FSX Shuts down and I get the following message. Cheers, Paul That's indeed an OOM, I do not understand how you can reach it though just sitting at the apron, since you have still quite a lot available memory space. Could you please right-click on 'My Computer-->properties' and send me screen? After you do that, please have a look at the manual and try to 'gear-down' of a few FSX display settings and scenery manager settings as suggested.

Paul 3 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Ok will do That tomorrow if that's ok. Just going to bed now for an early start in the morning.:-) Many thanks for your help. Paul. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driver101 8 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Hi, I have the same problem. W7 64 / PMDG NGX / ASN / REX 1024 TML With the NGX on the apron the VAS goes down to 400 - 600 MB at the beginning and starts to drop to 150 - 200 MB after 15 - 20 Minutes. I reduced the settings as shown in the manual. But it makes no difference. Cheers Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Barbas 7 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 Good day I have some time and make some tests, the results are pretty much the same as by @Paul with the VAS reader, I don't have a problem, today and yesterday also, when leaving FSX running for a long time, same configuration as by OOM. The only thing I have noticed today by playing around with the FSX setting, is that only the Load Radius make sense, reducing to medium I am getting a better memory value and that's it, nothing else make any difference. I am thinking to reduce at first the AS2012 texture size, leave everything as it is except Load Radius(set to medium) and see what happens. Think also reducing clod draw distance from 90 to 80. Later on I'll let you know but for sure I will reproduce the flight later this evening/night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAPTEJNLN 237 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 well now i made some sceenshots to compare and it makes no sence that you reach 3500k. In the test here i run max settings + NGX + 2 weather programs as seen, but I can´t reach 3500K now I tested in 2 locations of the airport by just starting the sim and se the proformance where some say oom after a bit... I max got 3000K by rotating the view inside the plane, as that gives the highest stress number. 2500K and lower whit out weather program.. I know the Weather program can hit harder over several hours but just to compair.. As side note: I used fully loaded version for some areas.. and that would give even a bigger load then you would see in the released version so I should have had a bigger load then you by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Brouwer 8 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Simple solution: Switch to DX10. OOM will disappear ;-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAPTEJNLN 237 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 well DX10 is good at some points, but the scenary does not fully support it.. as MS never finished it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyprianos Biris 40 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Christopher and rest of friends who face OOM issues. I have set up my hardware & FSX following meticulously this guide. http://kostasfsworld.wordpress.com/fsx-software-and-hardware-guide/ While beta testing Thessaloniki X I never ran in to an OOM by using NGX and ASN for weather with the graphics settings as recommended in the guide. See my report here post #236 of http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/67114-thessaloniki-x-preview/page-6 Something else must be consuming this VAS in your PC.

Christopher Barbas 7 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 OK I have already see the Kosta's post many times, the only tweaks I am using are the, WideViewAspect=True DisablePreload=1 HIGHMEMFIX=1 [JOBSCHEDULER] AffinityMask=14 uiautomationcore.dll the [GRAPHICS] TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=1024 is and was always like this A while ago I have try those too, FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.1 [bUFFERPOOLS] Poolsize=0 STALE_BUFFER_THRESHOLD=2147483647, but I had small hanging problems and have delete them. I'll those last again to see if it make any difference. Another thing I also forgot is that I am using nvidia inspector with the the Antialiasing setting at "16xS [Combined: 2x2 SS + 4x MS]", if this has a role I don't know! About VAS, the 4GB are consumed only by FSX right? I mean the FSX uses the 4 and till it make it full you have no problems. If you mean about by whole available RAM, then yes maybe I can close some running applications at the background for example but would it make any difference? I was about to try it anyway! Whats very strange is that at Germany for example with many addon sceneries and the AIRBUS X, heavy weather, very much online traffic ans soon never had problems so far! Maybe was one time fail! We'll see! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCLK 24 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I seen big impact yesterday on FPS by ASN. It was overcast and foggy today few clouds and steady 30FPS in the Q400 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafal Haczek 1612 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Christopher Barbas, Think of switching off the shadows options (shadow on itself, aircraft shadows, ground objects shadows). While they do add some immersion and look good in screenshots and videos, they also eat up a lot of memory. Tamas, I seen big impact yesterday on FPS by ASN Agreed. It killed my approach to Thessaloniki last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Barbas 7 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 @Rafal Haczek Yeah you are right, for example yesterday when this was happened, was night and very foggy as @LCLK mentioned and what do someone need the shadows at night, it is a question!

Kyprianos Biris 40 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 For ASN I limit Max Cloud Layers to 3 just for performance reasons. With the enhanced overcast feature (with which is the first time I see actual overcast in FSX!) you can get quite a performance hit if you leave it to the default setting of max 5 (?) layers. For Shadows I have only the aircraft casts shadow on ground activated. I find it extremely unrealistic to disable them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCLK 24 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 i did some testing.. when ever i look towards the city my FPS goes from 30-20 and back its jumping back and forth.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Barbas 7 Posted January 23, 2014 Author Share Posted January 23, 2014 I have just finished the same flight as yesterday LGAV-LGTS, with the same addons and other application running without any problems. Changes by the settings was, Load Radius to medium and the addition to fsx.cfg the, [bUFFERPOOLS] Poolsize=0 [Main] FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.25 As I said the last both are making a small problem, FSX hangs just a little sometimes, it is quite noticeable but still! I'll probably delete those. The memory was at start, LGAV - 2.600-2400 after leaving the LGAV was down to 2.200-2.100 at cruise alt was increased to, 2.400-2.850 and finally about 35NM inbound was stable to 3.100. My ASN settings are default. So everything went OK, I hope that was only about yesterday, maybe because the weather was foggy and sky layers was to much at that time, today was not! EDIT - Values are fsx.exe VAS, example, LGAV - 2.600-2400, 2.600.000K to 2.400.000K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafal Haczek 1612 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 One more thing that might be a nice idea is to deactivate unused sceneries in the scenery library. Especially those with photorealistic surroundings. I keep a sharp eye on it and usually get acceptable VAS levels. Plus frequent view switching. I know most simmers, including myself, cannot help watching their great plane/livery. Enjoying the external view, wing view (which is also forcing extra clouds and ground textures in sight), airport services, etc. However if it is done more than just occasionally the memory use (extra texture load) noticeably grows.

LCLK 24 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I think the problem is somewhere in the city am trying to check with different settings.. Edit: Ok stupid me... did some more testing and i noticed i had water animation 2x high... well obviously looks worst but i get better performance..

Edit: Ok stupid me... did some more testing and i noticed i had water animation 2x high... well obviously looks worst but i get better performance.. Indeed. You can always check the manual for FSX display settings advice. We spent quite some time testing every possible combination of settings and wrote it based on that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCLK 24 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Yes feeling embarrassed I used to have it lower that setting then sometimes ago I must have changed it for some reason Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleD 1027 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Yes feeling embarrassed I used to have it lower that setting then sometimes ago I must have changed it for some reason Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Try setting water to Low 2x. In my opinion it is the best compromise for both looks and performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted January 23, 2014 Aerosoft Share Posted January 23, 2014 Try setting water to Low 2x. In my opinion it is the best compromise for both looks and performance. And unless you are in the Caribs it is also the most realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
