Massive Memory Leak when AS2004.5 running...other than DEFAULT

Recommended Posts

...if I use the DEFAULT SETTINGS button, and only that, I seem to be fine, but if I add other options (buttons) particularly the EXTEND THUNDERSTORM LAYER--I get a massive memory leak that uses up my 1GB of physical RAM in 20 minutes of FS9 usage or less!!!Anybody else experienceing this?If so, any suggestions?Thanks,Mitch R.Pentium 4 3.4 Prescott1 GB of 533 MHz dual channel DDR RAMX800XT Radeon 256 MB video cardSoundblaster Audigy2 (D) sound card

Hi Chris!Yes, it turned out to be a LAND CLASS .bgl in my ADDON folder that had a TEXTURE (the no-no) folder also with it.I took that *****land class***.bgl file out of there and placed it in its OWN folder with NO Texture folder created. I then ran FS9 and it stabilized in memory hogging at around 650 MB. Can anyone actually explain WHY a landclass in the ADDON TEXTURE folder acts as a memory timebomb?!?!?I had no idea about that issue!Cheers!Mitch R.
