I'm having very few problems with ASA as well. I've been happy with the program. I'm running good old WinXP 32 bit, FS9 and FSUIPC. I've not seen one crash so far. I've only seen the occasional weather weirdness from time to time, but nothing critical. Overall the program has been great on my setup. Flying in the mountains is very interesting now with the varying winds. Hopefully everyone else's issues will get resolved soon enough.

Does anyone know, will Gorund Enviornment Pro connect with ASA like it does with AS6.5?

Yes :)The way it works with ASG or other textures is a little different, but GE Pro works the same way as before.

Another flight success!!!!!!! Notice memory usage, and here's one big thumb up for ASA:

I don't know that there's cause to celebrate there...I see FS9.exe at the top of the list above it with nearly 3GB of process memory...that's definitely not normal.My friends with OOM errors are not seeing ASA bombing, but rather FS itself. I'm wondering if ASA is doing something to cause FS to look for cloud textures that aren't there...that'd trigger the well-known FS9 texture memory leak. At any rate, 3 or 3.5GB of process memory is very likely a stop on the road to OOM-ville. I rarely see above 1.5GB in FS9 with complex acft, wx, and sceneries together.RegardsBob ScottColonel, USAF (ret)ATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VColorado Springs, CO

That is all normal, Bob. As I previously said, I spent last 6 months in various systems, and configurations, testing what might be causing this, if there is a kind of memory leak. True, there are sceneries that leak a bit, examples are EFRO in Finland, FSQuality Croatia, and some more (there is a doc on the aerosoft forums about this), but as I fly into London, where most of airports have their own scenery, which are not light, I believe the usage can top as much as 3GB. It's not like the usage creeps up to the 3GB, but rather it is around 1,7 along the whole flight, then about 1,8 when over England, and then climbs up to 2,9 when near London and Heathrow. I still didn't test other airports since I have the 64bits, but will do.Leaking of the scenery is completely different thing, it can be noticed as you are even sitting at the airport, the memory will creep up at some rate, no matter what you do. That is not the fact at ESSA or EGLL (the flight where the pictures were taken).And I don't believe ASA has anything to do with the memory, compared to ASV, because I used ASV until very recently, and I saw absolutely no change in memory behaviour.Btw. are you measuring your 1,5GB with the process explorer (virtual size)?

ASA SP1 (beta) is out...and among the listed fixes is one for OOM errors.Initial feedback from my trusted circle of friends is positive...so far, post patch, nobody is seeing the time change CTD, cloud popping in FS9 seems to be fixed, and wind behavior is better. And no OOM errors, but nobody's made any long flights with it that I know of yet.Bob ScottColonel, USAF (ret)ATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VColorado Springs, CO

Active Sky Advanced has been released.I know it's very fresh but has anyone tried it?http://www.hifisim.com/asa.phpI've been a longtime user of ASv65 and wonder if it is worth upgrading.It's not an easy decision whether to buy or not since December is a credit card killer, especially with PMDG MD-11 to come next days hopefully.And I've already bought FSDT LSGG and an AES credit pack this month.I will be very grateful to any ASA buyer who shares his impressions here.Thanks in advance!Best regards,Rafal

No issues here.I'm running the original release ASA on stock XP/SP2 (no 3GB setup), FS9patch1/AISmooth/Radar Contact/LDS767/PMDG737 on a dual core with 2GB RAM and have not had any errors. Video card is a stand-in and is not the greatest, original one fizzled out months ago. I'm waiting to build a box. I run about a dozen AI airlines at 75-80%.

Hi Word Not Allowed,Almost 3Gb virtual size! :( You gotta have a lot of addons indeed :( I'm wondering, in addition to your 64bits OS, did you also modified the fs9.exe file to allow it to go over 2Gb VM?Regards,Sylvain

Yes, I have somewhere around 300 lines in the scenery page of FS9. I believe there are some sceneries that "leak" the memory, but I will rather see the 3GB VS, than going through all of that searching for "bad" files. As long as they don't cause a CTD, and memory is growing a bit, but can't OOM, that's fine. I might look out when I fly to some specific area (like London), but beside that... just let it be ;)Funny thing is, FS9 is not working a bit slower with 3GB VS.Yes, of course I modified it. I used some explorer-thingy, don't know the name now, cuz I am away on my skiing vacation.But remind me if you need to know on Sunday.

Thank you Word Not Allowed!That would be great!Sylvain

ASA has not caused me a problem in either FSX or FS9. However, in FS9 I do notice that if I change weather conditions the clouds change but the winds don't. Anyone know why this might be the case?ThanksShez

Man, after seeing these posts regarding ASA, I am rethinking the decision to purchase the upgrade. I sure don't want to start getting OOM errors since I use XP 32bit system. Apparently OOM is the theme of the day :(Well, well...just as I post this, several others have mentioned a beta patch that may have cured the OOM errors. Maybe I should have waited a second or 2 to post this :(

Where is this ASA SP1? If I get this upgrade today, I would like to know where I could pick up the SP as well. I didn't see it on HiFi's website.

At the top of their forum page, first link, here at Avsim. http://forums1.avsim.net/index.php?showtopic=240125 It's a beta, but no one is having any issues because of that, so SP1 will probably be out very soon. I'm really loving ASA so far.Btw, SPs are always posted here in their support forums, so that's where I look, as opposed to the website.
