December 22, 200916 yr I have just re-installed FS2004 clean installation,updated it,then re-installed various Add-Ons such as PMDG,Level-D,Just Flight,Capt Sim,and a variety of sceneries.Prior to re-installing FS2004 from scratch,the last scenery I installed was the Helsinki airport scenery.After the FS2004 re-install I have re-loaded the Aerosoft sceneries for the Canaries,London,Frankfurt,Fly!Tampa sceneries,Imagine sceneries,UK2000 sceneries,and the Helsinki scenery,and FS2Crew.Yet,flying a non-complex aircraft like the CS707 out of Helsinki airport,I soon reached a critical point just before take-off where FS2004 gave up saying I had ruin out of memory.I have a 2.4GHz AMD CPU,3Gb RAM,2x256Mb video cards,etc so the hardware is not an issue,and I have been running FS2004 for months without any issues.All of a sudden,now the Page File Usage goes remarkably high up to 1.8Gb,and I'm running virtually nothing in the backgroound that uses up RAM.Any ideas anyone.Thanks.RICK Rick Almeida
December 22, 200916 yr Hello,If not .. be sure to have your FS9 patched with FS9.1Also:Disable all your addon's sceneries.Enable again one by one (test between each new scenery enabled) for find the culpritUsually a lack of memory come from bad install scenery or a file in a scenery (memory leak)Make also a search about in this forum .. many posts already there about your problem.Regards.Gus.
December 22, 200916 yr If you are using Avast! for your anti-virus, make sure you update to the latest version.There was a "memory leak" associated with a recent version that would eventually consume the page file.This issue was fixed with an update.regards,Joe The best gift you can give your children is your time.
December 22, 200916 yr Remember also to check for and delete any empty texture directories anywhere in the directory tree under FS2004...they will cause memory leaks. I believe there are several utility programs in the library that will do this. Lots of folks rebuild Rome and forget about all the roadwork they had to do the last time they built it...RegardsBob ScottColonel, USAF (ret)ATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VColorado Springs, CO Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
December 22, 200916 yr Author Thanks to all you guys.That was a fantastic response.These AVSIM Forums are by far the very best for the very helpful FS community within it. Have already patched FS9 to FS9.1.Without it the PMDG MD-11 will not run. Don't run Avast AV program. The bad memory leak for an empty scenery seems more the culprit coz that flags up when I fire FS2004.Same thing happened immediately on previous FS2004 just after installing the MD-11 before the complete clean re-install. CPU usage is very low,less than 16%,so the suggestions you guys have given me points me where to look. Thanks once moreRICK Rick Almeida
