November 2, 200520 yr Every slider was to the right at LAX with the DF Baron. I had just landed on 25R,and was holding short of 25L.Iguess I have run out of CPU?http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/131724.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/131725.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/131726.jpg
November 2, 200520 yr Hi anonymous,I can't answer your question because I try to live by the motto "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" and since I haven't encountered any hiccups with my FS, I have never bothered to check my CPU and/or memory usage figures. However, I thought I might as well take this opportunity to ask a question of my own.Intuitively, it would seem that the more (physical) RAM one has, the less virtual memory a system should need. However, I have heard that the ideal page file size (at 1GB of RAM, I've never seen any reason to set a manual page file size; I just let Windows automatically determine the amount of virtual memory required) should be 1.5 times the amount of physical RAM one has in one's system. That would imply the more RAM one has, the more virtual memory to set - seems a bit odd to me. Anyone know why? Or whether the 1.5x rule is appropriate at all?That leads me to your post: at 2GB RAM, it does seem a bit strange that you would have (need?) a 1GB page file. I see nothing wrong with your 100% CPU usage though. Perhaps there is a memory leak in one of your add-ons? Did you lock your frame rates (i.e. set a target frame rate in FS9 Display settings under the Hardware tab)?Edwin
November 2, 200520 yr Yes Edwin,I am locked at 25,and my page file is system managed.I will try the min-max at 4096 next.
November 3, 200520 yr Hi Jim,100% CPU usage is normal when the sim is running. You might want to take a look at this though: http://www.neuber.com/taskmanager/process/~e5d141.tmp.htmlRegards,Greg
