Good Morning,

I'm having this issue of FSX running good for a while and after 30 min the game freezes and a window pops up saying "System ran out of memory and game is shutting down"

I tweaked a few things in the CGF file and after these tweaks this started.

 

My computer can handle FSX no problem but this is a pain in the butt lol

 

HELP! :Nerd:

Only time I had an out of memory error was if I set my LOD radius too high. I set it to 10.5 just for fun one day and FSX ate up all my RAM and it crashed. I have 16 GB of RAM, BTW. For now, I fly with 4.5 or 6.5.

My guess is that you are not running out of RAM memory, but virtual address space.

 

FSX is a 32 bit application and cannot access more than 4 GB VAS.

 

You must have increased the VAS demand, did you possibly increase the LOD radius?

Yes i have LOD turned up to 10.5

I will turn it down

Well my problem is not going away and i turned down to LOD to 8. I noticed this after installing GEX North America,could this have something to do with it?

Ya know Sly, I have the same problem since installing GEX NA as well. Id be interested to see whst everyone sahs!

Kind of a let down because i really like GEX.Not sure on what to do :(

Yes i have LOD turned up to 10.5

I will turn it down

 

Cripes! I run 6.5 at the very max and that's usually without addons.... When I run resource hungry addons like NGX/Orbx I go to 5.5 or default 4.5. 10.5 will do it.... that's crazy-high and nothing you buy will fix it.

Ok,awesome,thanks for that tip,I will turn it down much more lol

Default max is 4.5. Max possible with many addons is 6.5. Not a number more. That is going to drive the usage up to 3.8, while at 4 it crashes. Some addons might even push it over 4 at 6.5. So, beware.

 

But another thing: do not set tweaks to some numbers while not understanding what they do.

Thanks Word Not Allowed! I know you're a man that knows FSX and tweaks by the posts you write.I'm fairly new to the world of " Tweaking",so i read a lot and try to educate myself.Thanks for all the help folks.

I do notice that the lower i set LOD the worse the land looks (blurry),so do you know something i can boost to get rid of that.

 

 

LOD @ 4.5

LOD @ 10.5

Set it to 5.5 and forget it!

 

Nothing you can do to make it sharp in the distance - and frankly in real life it rarely is that sharp either!

Good point Bert :)

Is this the LOD in the fsx config file were talking about? Need to check mine. ;/ Does the auto tweaking tool do this as well?

Oh yes you can - actually, you can cheat ^_^ Set zoom in all views to 60%. Going to be way sharper than on 100%.
