February 17, 201412 yr I am one of those folks who has been very lucky with FSX. I have never had an in-flight software crash. It has always been rock stable for me. It has plenty of annoying issues, but stability has never been one of them for me. Today I had the first OOM I have ever had. It was in P3D v2.1, running no add ons. Go figure. - Bill Magann

February 17, 201412 yr Commercial Member FSX hasn't crashed for me in months, even with all those things you named. Same here, even if it crashes I don't feel to bad as FScaptain + FSUIPC autosave allow me to restore the flight completely.
February 17, 201412 yr If your careful with how you handle FSX, it is trouble free imo.

February 17, 201412 yr FSX has been very stable for me. Only real issue is the texture loading when switching views, but that has something to do with my hardware and not FSX. Other programs have similar issues. The PCIe bus isn't fast enough so there's a bit of a lag when loading textures. I don't get any stuttering, OOM, crashes, or anything like that. Jeff Thomson

Didn't know that you can save the FSCaptain flight, seriously! How to do that with FSUIPC?

February 17, 201412 yr Based on some of the comments here I must be the luckiest FSX user in the world! I've got quite an old, very modest system (no overclocking anywhere), FSX Gold Edition but with quite a few new add-ons including recent Realair and Ant's aircraft, FTX scenery and only one tweak in my fsx.cfg (HIGHMEMFIX=1). It's even installed in the default location on my C drive (shock, horror). Admittedly I'm only running it at 1680x1050 (my monitor's native resolution) but I get an average 25-30FPS with no stutters and I've never had a freeze, crash-to-desktop or OOM error - I've tried 1920x1080 on a borrowed monitor with no apparent loss of performance. I use FaceTrackNoIR with PointTracker as a cheap TrackIR replacement (highly recommended) with no FPS hit. Not sure why it all works so well but I'm definitely not complaining! i7-14700k | Asus ROG STRIX Z790-F Gaming WIFI | 32GB DDR5 RAM | MSI RTX 4080 Super | WD Black SN850X 1TB & 2TB | Corsair HX1000i ATX3.0 | MSI MAG401QR 40" monitor | Win 11 Pro 64-bit | Meta Quest 3
