August 12, 201114 yr How does the NGX perform on these systems? What differences you noted? I'm planning to change to "Windows 7 64 bit", as recommended by PMDG. Teo Halfen

August 12, 201114 yr Author I noted that the memory NGX uses in the "windows XP 32 bit" goes at nearly 1500 Mb, while complex addons go to nearly 600 Mb. But is there a good frame rate gain too with 'windows 7 64 bit'?
August 12, 201114 yr out of memory errors can be a serious problem with a 32-bit OS. also with 64b. got 3 OOM yesterdays and today finally a BSD. Does not seem to get any better...

August 13, 201114 yr Hello Teo,I think we would need to see your processor and RAM specs to be any usefull. for my specs, I get anywhere from 16~30 fps in the virtual cockpit,and up to about 55 fps on an external view.

Teo HalfenHi Teo,I asked a similar question a few days ago. Here is the link :http://forum.avsim.n...__fromsearch__1Apparently, some simmers say they have no problem with 32 bit systems.Hope this helps,Bruno
August 13, 201114 yr Sounds like you have a serious memory issue there Phil, you might need to do a memtest.Did this some months ago when I overclocked. Als stable. Passed all Stress tests. Actually just changed some NVIDIAinspector settings and do the Flight again. Will see. Right now enroute to cairns at fl340 and so far all Fine.

Right now enroute to cairns at fl340 and so far all Fine.Edit. All fine. Landed perfectly. Not only reduced some NVIDIA AA settings but also reduced REX textures to 1048. No visual impact and no OOM. Just in yet another flight from cairns to Melbourne.

August 13, 201114 yr Thats, a relief, I had a gd3.dll at epping on approach to rnwy 27 @ymml, so seems Orbx is very sensitive to what settings you have. Flew from YBCS without incident until the approach. Go figure.
August 13, 201114 yr Hi,Upgraded to Win 7 64-bit back in autumn '09 - for me, made a huge difference to FSX.e.g., was getting weird graphics problems and OOM errors after an 8 hour flight - not good - under Win XP 32-bit.Whilst I still like XP for some applications, Win 7 64-bit seems the way forward...Good luck!Carl Beeby Carl Beeby
August 13, 201114 yr Edit. All fine. Landed perfectly. Not only reduced some NVIDIA AA settings but also reduced REX textures to 1048. No visual impact and no OOM.Just in yet another flight from cairns to Melbourne. Hope that goes well too landed at actually at YBBN, all fine though a bit sluggish during approach as YBBN is fps hungry. Now om yet another trip from YBBN to YSCH (i.e. YCFS in the PMDG) and just reached T/D, must get ready now for the visual approach Phil Leaven i5 10600KF, 32 GB 3200 RAM, ASUS 4070 12GB EVO, Asus ROG Z490-H, 2 WD Black NVME for each Win11 (500GB) and MSFS (1TB), Rolling Cache 16GB, Photogrammetry always OFF, Live Weather and Live Traffic always ON, Res 2560x1440 on 27"
