Has anyone ever had this problem? I flew from KSLC to KDEN..... 20 miles out my FPS suddenly dove to 2 to 3 fps. My system isn't that high powered and 7 to 10 is normal for an approach to a busy airport. ( I use PAI with many airlines and traffic at 100%) A few seconds later I got a windows XP message that my virtual memory minimum was to low and Windows XP would correct it. My fps jumped up to 11 and settled at 7 after the message and stayed there until I landed. I have a 1.3 ghz machine, 512m Ram, GeForce TI 200 video card.Is anyone familiar with this? Is there a way I can keep from getting this message and just have the virtual memory set properly?Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thanks.

It's the worst to be using memory from your hard drive for FS usage. FS is using more than the system memory and VM so Windows made more availible, in other words you were bogging down your system with all that you have running. Go for 1 gig of Ram and get rid of the problem. Ram is soooooooooo much more faster than any hard drive could perform at and in your case it looks like you need it..[h4]Best Wishes,Randy J.

But, on the other hand, I'm running FS2004 and WinXP in 512MB of RAM and seldom use any virtual memory. This begs the question -- What is running on your machine besides FS? I always reboot before I start fs and I have most unnecessary XP "services" disabled. R-

I had used the program End It All before flying and had rebooted before that. I guess I'll have to see if it happens again.
