4GB Patch Utility - solution for OOM/Skeletons?

Featured Replies

Hey guys;Looking for some input from computer-smart guys on this utility I found online: http://www.ntcore.com/4gb_patch.phpI backed up my original fsx.exe and ran this utiliy on the executable and everything works fine. Wondering if this might be a solution to "out of memory" and skeleton issues people have been having?I hadn't been having them, but don't want to! Running Windows7 and FSX/AccelHappy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

The versions of FSX.exe that come with SP2 and Acceleration are already "4GB aware" I believe. I expect no harm will be done running the patch utility on them, just don't expect to see any difference afterwards!Andy Lawton

Andy's right - FSX SP2 or Acceleration is already large address aware. I think RSR may be thinking of something else.If you're getting the skeleton stuff, put HIGHMEMFIX=1 in your FSX.cfg [GRAPHICS] section. That was the presumed fix for this, found by ******* Altuve earlier this year.

Thanks Ryan - yes I have that one in there too.I recently got a new i7 computer and haven't had any problems, but I figured a pre-emptive strike was in order!It seems like computer technology is finally catching up with FSX, I find I've had to do little or no tweaking to get decent performance with my new rig. I'm intrigued by this new "Microsoft Flight" coming out, but if it can't run your 744X I probably won't get it :)Thanks for your input gents -
