Ran out of memory

[pilotso 0]

Hi all!

Whenever I try to play FSX after about a minute it crashes saying it ran out of memory. I didn't used to do this. Just in the past few weeks.

Computer Specs:

Windows 7 Professional 32-bit.

Intel Core 2 Duo @ 3.00GHz

4096MB of Ram(~4GB)

750 GB HD with 132 GB remaining

 

Any help?

Wow, you are running on the edge. You are really pushing your system with FSX. You are going to probably have to do some creative tweaking. What Video Card do you have?

What have you added to your FSX?

 

Note that it is not physical memory that you are running out of, but continuous VAS.

Right, I do know that I have changed my VAS settings. I have many addon's installed on my fsx.

Your OS is 32bit. So your Virtual Address Space for FSX is limited to something like 2.7 - 3.2 GB. That's about 1 GB less than what is available with a 64bit OS.

 

What makes it worse is, a 32bit OS will only allocate 2 GB of VAS per default. You will have to google for "3 GB switch" and related tweaks.

Agreed.... Most addons take the VAS well above 3 GB these days.

 

I highly recommend a 64 bit windows.
