Hello everyone,

 

With the new ORBX England installed I get OOM's when approaching an airport. For airports I use the Uk2000 sceneries. Beside of that i always fly a PMDG 737 and my weather is controlled by AS2012. When i'm about 10,000 feet from the ground i will receive a OOM message. I have very good hardware (as described below) so i think that is not the reason. Are there any suggestions to prevent the OOM's so i am capable of flying the PMDG on a UK2000 airport with FTX England without reveiving a OOM? Thanks in advance.

 

My specs:

- Intel 3770k @ 3,5 Ghz

- Nvidea GTX 670 2 GB videocard

- 500 GB satall drive

- Asus P8h77v-LE motherboard (with will be replaced next week for the ASrock z77 extreme 4)

- 8 GB Corsair Venegance RAM

Hiya, first off, what OS are you running 7 or XP, 32 or 64bit?

I'm running Windows 7 64-bit

I had my first 2 last night on approach to EGKK with ORBX EU.

Hello

 

Try this site:

You may receive an "Out of Memory" error message because of the desktop heap limitation in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

 

Worked for me, hope it works for you too.

 

Cheers.

I also have OOM's when approaching EGKK. When I run Process Explorer I can see FSX is using the limit of 3,2 GB of VAS when I receive the OOM.

Check the Windows Event Viewer to see what crashed, then we can start to offer suggestions on how to fix the problem.

It's not a CTD but out of memory so i can't see a error in event viewer

This is a long shot fellas and I'm happy to be corrected, but it may be worth removing the duplicate airport .bgl files from the Orbx scenery folder. Some guys on the Orbx forum were having issues with UK2000 scenery airports where duplicate buildings were being displayed. It may be, with having duplicate files in the 'system' that issues could arise with memory. I know this is different, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to remove the files anyway. I have done so and have not run into any issue similar to what is being reported.

Thanks Howard, will give that a go and report back.

How can I find these files? I've looked in the ORBX scenery folder but can't find any duplicate files. Or must i take a look at the ORBX AND Uk2000 folder for duplicate files? Can you please give me that topic?

Search the AVSIM file library for FSX Airport Scanner 1.00.03, a freeware utility that will locate duplicate .bgl and AFCAD files. Very handy and easy to use.

When I fly at 3000 feet the ORBX England scenery is very blurry now and all the buildings on the UK2000 airport are all white. Whats the reason for that?

Well, it really depends on your settings in FSX and the cfg file. Blurries are simply a symptom of not enough resources being handed to scenery loading. A common problem is when flying with unlimited frames, and IMO there is never any reason to do this. You need to lock your frames at 25 or 30 in FSX. Other reasons will simply be expecting too much from your system. Too high an autogen setting, High AI, cloud coverage, AI traffic etc etc. As for finding the duplicate airports, you need to go to FSX / Orbx / FTX_EU / then the 05scenery folder. In there go to the scenery folder and simply switch off any duplicate file by adding '_OFF' TO THE FILE NAME, THAT WAY YOU CAN ALWAYS TURN IT BACK ON SHOULD YOU EVER NEED TO DO SO IN THE FUTURE. A typical file will be ADE_FTX_ENG_EGCC which is Manchester, just add _OFF to the file name. Can you also reply with your system specs...
