Hi everyone
I want to share with you this video i made showing the Vector's huge amount of vas usage . I choosed Amsterdam because it has very complex coastlines.
Tell me there is something wrong because I can't believe a product like this is taking me 800 mb of VAS

p.s. sorry for video quality but i just wanted to show the numbers

Pls post it over on orbx forums in vector support thread. There is already a discussion about possible memory leak so it would be nice if you could add this vid to it.

I've already done it.

I just wanted to share it here too

Great thanks I hope orbx will comment on that. Can you try to perform similar test with tertiary roads turned off in config tool?

How did you monitor the VAS in real time - I only know that VMMAp is the most accurate VAS measurement and you usually monitor contiguous space and fragmentation in the log file post running FSX. The display from VMMap is huge and I can't see it being displayed whilst FSX is running, but perhaps I'm wrong?

You talk about virtual memory but I've always thought that was the paging file (yes - I know that even Microsoft use the terms together) which is associated with the Physical RAM, the VAS is Virtual (process) address space nothing to do with virtual memory ie the paging file.

Apologies if I have misinterpreted your results. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-au/sysinternals/dd535533.aspx

Fede,

I suggest show this video to Costa, He is very knowledgeable person regarding VAS . Is this happening only with Vector?

you can monitor the vas usage using this method and while fsx is running.

it shows the free amount of vas.

sorry if i talked about virtual memory, i meant Virtual process.

asanal, I'll write to Word Not Allowed's blog to have an opinion from him. and yes, this is happening only with vectors

UTX took about 400 mb.

 

I need someone to conduct test with tertiary roads shutdown in vector config tool (cannot do it by myself now as I'm leaving on a business trip)

 

But that would be really nice to see which part of vector eats most vas or is there a leak in software itself

I'm pretty astonished by this.  Had no idea Vector was using so much of my VAS (and this would explain why I keep getting issues.)  Any more research on the topic?  Any word from Orbx?

Don't  know  since  the op hasn't  come  back in here over  a year  ago   since he has posted, if you head over to the orbx forum its already being mentioned a few times

The OP not being around shouldn't have kept ORBX from responding!

I believe it's a PILOTS product and they have posted on the Orbx forum recently that they are working on it.....no timeline mentioned?

There a re a few threads on the orbox  forum   discussing  this same topic
