I have found many causes for dll and out of memory errors. Duplicate afcad files

Thanks for that pointer, and to Peter Dowson for his "024c" monitoring and "ping" in FSUIC. For me that has solved my OOM problem.

 

In hindsight, it all started when I installed MyTraffic X (which I now still prefer to UT, even though it did give me this problem). I didn't immediately blame it, because there were a number of other potential changes I made around the same time, including flying the PMDG NGX a lot, which does exarcerbate rather than cause the problem. I was finding the system slowing, and FSUIPC "pinging", whenever I was in major city areas such as London, Amsterdam, Paris and even Venice with the Aerosoft Venice X scenery. They had been slower than other areas in the past, but never fatal. Now I found I couldn't fly into Paris in the NGX without the system dying from OOM. Paris had become a "no-go area".

 

I put 2 and 2 together when editing some AFCAD's, and noticing that there always appeared to be a duplicate (or triplicate if you include the MS default) AFCAD in the MyTraffic X folder. I shunted them all off to the recycle bin, and the free memory in Paris went up from around 200Mb to around 800Mb - no more OOM's. :yahoo:

 

Obviously this won't answer everybody's problem - there are lots of other add-ons out there waiting to guzzle our storage, but for anyone with MyTraffic X, it's definitely worth doing. There's no point in having all those AFCAD's with airline gate assignments for obscure airports in Bongo-Bongo Land if they are stopping you getting into your favourite airports.

To check how much of virtual adress space is using FSX in your case, you need to get Process Explorer, ( http://technet.micro...ernals/bb896653 )

 

Thank you thank you.

 

The only tool I have seen where it displays the virtual memory used.
