I'm sitting at the gate following the tutorial and the memory jumps well over 4xxxmb (i have a system monitor gadget) and the FPS was 0.01! :huh:  Beat that all you simmers....And it still did not crash...go figure!

Back in the early days of NGX, I once was on final to YPAD on Vatsim during a flyin "Panic Stations" and the system froze for 2 solid minutes. 1 frame... 2 minutes.

 

Turns out that was the first sign that the HDD was dying. It took 2 months to complete it's death.

Some weeks after the panic stations event, Youtube videos started freezing, and a few weeks after that just moving the mouse around the desktop would freeze for up to 5 minutes at a time, so maybe that doesn't count
