Soooo, 

 

Last night I am cruising over Nebraska in my Aerosoft Airbus 319 logging a much needed flight for my VA. I step away for dinner and when I return my 30 FPS has dropped to between 5-7 and my VAS is creeping up on a OOM quick. 

 

I quickly noticed that just to the right of the Addon tab in the FSX task bar there are now a series of aircraft names, in this case they were Challengers, stretched across the screen in the task bar. I clicked on them expecting to see separate windows or options or something and nothing. They would highlight but that's it. I tried turning off all traffic but while traffic did cease, these FPS and VAS hogging phenomenons remained.  Nothing  I did would close them out. I tried minimizing and maximizing FSX and going to full screen but that didn't fix anything, neither did trying to open the tabs as a seperate windows.

In the end, I was forced to end my flight prematurely and restart FSX. I have not been able to replicate this strange occurrence again this evening. 

 

At the time I was running:

FSX

Airbus A319

FS2 Crew

ASN for FSX

My Traffic X

 

If anyone has any clue what caused this I would be grateful. I simply don't have the free time to lose a two hour flight for some unexplained reason. 

 

Thanks as always.

Only thing I can think of is you have your AI tags turned on and, as you got nearer to your destination, more and more AI showed up and, when your system started running out of VAS, these artifacts could not be removed.  Since you are flying a VA this could be there problem too.
