For the past couple of weeks I have noticed when flying my Ram usage increases at a slow and steady pace while flying. Saturday in the NGX I left PHNL en-route to KPDX and while running AS2012, Aivlasoft EFB on VATSIM and on VAFS5. About 4 hrs into the flight, my ram was up to 96% and things started to get ugly. I shut everything down and my ram continued to stay hung there. The only way I could get it to come down to normal was to restart. Again I have had this issue for the past couple of weeks and have tried everything I can think of to figure it out but nothing is showing anything abnormal. The system does not crash but stutters really badly. Recently I have done a complete and fresh re install of FSX and addons. I did a test flight from KLAS to KLAX in the NGX running VAFS5 and on VATSIM, ram started at 48% and by the time I landed, it was up to 62%. After closing down all programs, the ram did settle down to normal.

 

I have ran RAMMAP at the time of issue and FSX shows to be the highest user at 600,00ish K. I have checked and all 8GB of ram is being seen. I use the Bojote's tweaking tool and HIGHMEMFIX=1.

 

Any Ideas?

Hi Jeff,

 

First of all, you will need to remove those specs from your signature. Sorry! It's company policy. I think you should have posted this down in the Hardware forum where the memory experts mainly reside (unless you're getting an OOM). I don't have the capability to move it there so you might want to ask the 'experts' down there. It appears you have some sort of memory leak. The best I can do for you on that is to provide a troubleshooting link - http://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23551. You have Windows 7 64 bit which is the best OS for managing memory. Microsoft.net manages memory for installed software programs too but you have to use the proper version. FSX developers install the version of Microsoft.net required to properly manage their FSX software. Most used version 3.5. You can look in Windows\Microsoft.net\Framework\ and see the versions installed on your system.

 

I read a link just yesterday about the freeway slider (cars) causes memory leaks. This only happens though if the slider is set high and you run FSX for a long length of time. It was the first time I had heard this and I have been around FSX since day one. I think it's more likely a poorly managed FSX addon.

 

Best regards,

Jim

Jim,

I have removed that from signature and made a new topic in the hardware section. I will look into what you have provided as well.

Thanks

Thanks Jeff. Appreciate your cooperation.

 

Best regards,

Jim
