I know this is a huge discussion within the FSX and Prepar3d communities but I have a high end PC  and running VAS monitor  with only Aerosoft Airbus x and EGLL installed I have seen many OOM and shut downs with in prepar3d. What I do is save the flight as an fxml file and run this to open the sim and the flight / vehicle I want.

 

This way I do not receive many OOM errors but VAS still runs between 3.5 and 3.9 Gigs leaving the sim skittish :(  Does any one have any use full tips to bring this down? I run on 1 monitor and an old sidewinder pro joystick. I do use REX and this does not change the VAS stats in any which way! I have tried quite a few different cfx tweeks and display setting changes but nothing is really working?

 

My System is an i7 and runs between 4.5 to 4.7Ghz, water cooled, GTX 770 2 Gig Display card, 16Gb Ram with windows on an SSD and the sim on a 2TB Sata drive.

 

FSX runs like a dream barely touching 2.7Gb with quit a bit installed. loving Prepar3d but would also like to understand how I can bring the VAS down to enjoy it even better!

 

Thanks in advance

I never even got close to OOMs in p3dv2 until the 2.3 update now I have watch which airports I over fly. Not sure what they changed but I'm not too happy about it.

Do you get the same VAS with a default airplane?

I agree on this... I never received an OOM with 2.2... yet with the same add ons I regularly get OOMs on my KIAH to KLAX flight with 2.3... pretty frustrating, and something most definitely changed.

Yeah I am getting OOMs now. Never got them before. Usually when I am flying into Fly Tampa's CYUL.

Try leaving KRNT (Seattle) with orbx PNW installed Its really bad FSUPIC dings at me constantly warning of the impending doom.

Oooh, so it is FSUIPC that is dinging me?

If it sounds like the default windows ding then yes it warns when you are 300mb from an oom you can keep flying with it but you may oom if you switch views ect. I don't know what they changed but this is the first time I've ever come close to ooms in pad or FSX so something is broken
