Available memory

[Sean Doran]

Whenever I do a long flight say 10 hours or so, I always run our of available memory. This never happened to me with FS9 any ideas.

I have a

Alienware Area 51:
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6700 @ 2.66GHz
4Gb Ram
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT

Check for a double scenery listing in the scenery.cfg. Or ....... a dual listing of a AFCAD. Either will do it. And either will eat up frames.

NO double config stuff, where can I find the AFCADS?

Thanks

I don't know whether ScanAFD would help, but that's what I always used to use in FS9 to find multiple AFCADs.

In FSX 'AFCAD's can be located anywhere as long as that location
has be 'activated' in the FSX scenery menu, so there is
no one definitive answer to your question.

In general, however, most 'AFCAD' files usually wind up in the
folders contained in the 'Addon Scenery' folder.
They would be in the 'scenery' subfolder of 'Addon Scenery'
or of the folders contained in 'Addon Scenery'.

You could do a search of that folder, or your entire FSX
install directory, looking for all files with the names that contain
any of the following character subsets:
AF2, ADE, AFX

Look at the output from those searches, looking for duplicate
airport references....2 'KLAX' or multiple 'EHAM', etc.

Any afcads you have in your addon scenery dir are used in pref to the default, but that isnt the problem. What operating system are you using, There is a known memoery bug and a fix but you will have to search forums, ill post if i stumble across it.

I think there was something in one of Phil Taylor's Blogs about this,
I wish I could remeber when I saw it. If it comes back to me I'll post it.

I adjusted my page file and didnt run out of memory on a 13 hr flight in the Connie, that was great. Then as I turned final on GCLP the sim locked up and shut down. Ime just a short hop away from going back to FS9. There is nothing more aggravating than looking at the damn ocean for 13 hours only to lock up as you turn final.:ernae:

Sean, it could be Vista it's self. If you have XP, try loading FSX in that. I've had no problems with FSX, SP2 for FSX, Acceleration and XP combined.... honest. But I haven't flown 10 hours straight in FSX either. Not enough No Doze in the house.
