Run out RAM

[harpsi 8]

Hi all

 

Suddenly my FSX decided to crash. All the time I sse the message that FSX run out the available memory. Anyone knows the cause of it? It never happened and I didn´t change anything in my system...

This error has nothing to do with RAM or even virtual memory, despite how the on screen message is worded.
 
See this for an explanation of the Out Of Memory (OOM) condition and how to mitigate it:

The cause of it hehe....

 

Increased demands by customers on developers.

 

But the root of the issue is NOT fixable - 32bit code making the virtual address space limit 4 GB. When your FSX crashes to the desktop and you revive this out of memory error it's because FSX ran out of VAS.

The AVSIM CTD Guide provides excellent information about running out of VAS and suggestions to fix it too.  The AVSIM CTD Guide can be found under Hot Spots just to the right of this forum.
