Well,I made it in 18.26 hours(real time),From OR Tambo Int'l (Johannesburg SA) landing at Imagine Sim Atlanta (gate F3). My memory usage was 3.92 GB at the gate.I switched back and forth between windows and full screen about 6 or 7 times during the flight,and used the menu countless times,a real torture test!

Thank's PMDG,a real winner!

Welcome to the miles long club

Just when I thought my two 14 hour flights and one 15 hour flight was a lot!

 

18 hours, nice!

That flight should take less than 16 hours, at least it would in real-life!

I think FSX logs your total time at the gate taxi etc and would account for the 18 vs 16 I'm guessing.

2 hours of taxying? lol.

 

2 things I'd be thinking:

Logging "on the ground" time from sim start, that'd then be 1h30m for the long turn+refuel to run in the Ground Ops + 20 mins taxi (15 at origin, 5 at destination) plus an extra 10 min at the end opening doors/shutting down stuff.

 

Either that or the wind injection/weather program wasn't working and the flight took 1h30min longer due to missing tail winds or something.

Read it again, I said, time at the gate. Not just taxi time!  Plus the etc, witch would be prefilght, pax loading, whatever.

Tail winds would be on the eastbound flight. Raven's flight was westbound.

Nice flight. im doing TJSJ to KLAX not a long flight but im keeping my fingers crossed. ..

That's a long one. I did Brisbane to Houston a few days ago so I feel the pain of long hauls. After that one, I'm done with them for a little while. 

3.92GB of VAS used? What was your starting memory usage if I ask?

 

I usually start at 2.3GB of VAS when all is said and done, leaving me 1.7GB of memory left to burn before an OOM event.

 

I'm asking because I want to know if FSX has a memory/VAS leak issue, where the longer the sim runs, the higher your memory usage goes. [For instance, if you made a 19 hour sim run, would you OOM?]

I highly recommend NMG Trading, they have a good scenery for FAOR.

After buying you have to register to download the general scenery package and there is an update to change the name in FSX to FAOR

I'd rather save the money and wait for the ASDG scenery. https://www.facebook.com/AfricanSceneryDevelopmentGroup?ref=stream&hc_location=stream

Hello!

A very long haul indeed, congratulations.

Interested to your VAS usage, because I am on testing phase after the purchase.

Could you tell me about your settings?

1. REX Y/N and clouds size (4096, 2048...);

2. cloud distance;

3. FTX Global Y/N;

4. UTX Y/N;

5. Lod radius;

6. TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD in the FSX.cfg

Do you know the VAS usage during cruise? For evalutating the VAS usage increase got by arrival airport load.

Thanks. Bye.

Flew out of FSDT'S KLAX, into ImagineSim's KATL. Back out of there to FSDT'S JFK. No errors, ctd or OOM. Good frames as well. Autogen slider at dense. Everything else max right. 4y/o i7 975 machine with Nvidia 680gtx 4gb card. Also using fsinn, linda, FSGRW in background. FTXG for ground cover with UTX and FSG mesh. Nary an issue.
