You get an OOM when your RAM is actually isn't enough , not because the simulator can't handle more than ~3.5GB (32bit) although you still have plenty of free memory.

 

Nice theory, but unfortunately, it's wrong.

I was talking about the fact that he got an OOM with Xplane 64BIT , and he said that 64BIT will not help much for avoiding OOMs which is a wrong conclusion...

Sure 64 bits give you more headroom but even that can be abused and you can have memory problems.

Not P3D news, but LM news.  Well, sort of... B)

The commission on those sales must be epic, those girls in the pic are so cheerful.  I bet it has to do with the commissions.  Lol

Thats totally wrong. How can I get an OOM if I have, lets say 32GB RAM, yes that´s because my sim can not address RAM above the limit at about 3,5 GB. The physical RAM-size above about 4GB has nothing to do with OOM:s. 

 

You are confusing RAM with address space and Video RAM.

 

OOM has nothing to do with the amount of available system RAM

OOM has nothing to do with the amount of available video RAM

Address space has little to do with the amount of RAM but everything to do with the OOM

OOM is caused by address space saturation.

Well he is correct to a point, if your system RAM isnt sufficient, you can get an OOM from that as well. I can only see that being the case in systems with 4gb of RAM or less or on a 32 bit Operating System where system processes consume some ram then FSX runs into a hardware barrier before the software barrier is met.

Again , I was talking about Xplane 64BIT which doesn't have the ~3.5GB limitation... Hence if you get an OOM with it you just need more RAM and it's NOT the simulator's problem (Xplane tends to eat A lot of RAM with UHD meshes and world2xp sceneries , also depending on your settings espicially in V10.40 which has a new extended terrain loading in the distance).

 

But then again Im in a P3D forum so I can see where the confusion comes from :-)

NO... whenever you get an OOM, it's because no more VIRTUAL MEMORY could be allocated. Has absolutely nothing to do with PHYSICAL MEMORY. Ever.

Well I would love somebody to correct me if my information is wrong :-)

 

As I know virtual memory comes to compensate when there isn't enough physical one.... Hence adding physical memory will give you more headroom (Note Im still talking about a 64BIT platform).

 

If Im wrong please correct me...

Seems that some of the experts here need to explain in detail what VAS means, as opposed to physical memory. The confusion appears to be  somewhat rampant in FS Fora... :wink:

And the topic is P3D 3.0 NEWS!!!

Or maybe the experts could just explain how to SEARCH for VAS vs physical memory?

 

I'm still dealing with folks who complain that their HDD is running out of memory.

 

@mtaxp - just search and you'll see your misconception.

 

I think you have VAS, physical memory and pagefile confused,

Ah, where's Elaine when you need her to add some new juicy speculation (​and bring us back on topic...)    ​

So many people don't understand what should be a simple concept.
