OOM over England in P3D V3

[carlito777 712]

My REX Settings:

 

Is there any technical reason you don't use the sky textures from the AVSIM library anymore? I like those textures much more than the REX4 ones and just want to make sure they don't make any problems with Prepar3d v3.

The AVSIM library textures look great at dusk/dawn but as soon as any reduce visibility is introduced it starts to look odd.  Also during day time hours that sky texture seemed to produce a dark grayish cast on everything.  So in V3, I'm back to the REX sky textures.

Guess I have been lucky then as I have flown from Dubai (FT) to EGLL (Aerosoft) a few times in v3 and never had an OOM so far and yes I have FTX England as well. I used 2048 textures. I dont have all the other setting maxed out but they are in the high parts of the sliders.

I just had my very first OOM using the IFLY 747 V2 in v3. No Orbx England Or Vector. I was at Aerosoft Heathrow, about to start my engines then i got an OOM. So it's definitely the IFLY for me. Any other aircraft on high settings, im fine.

Well, at least you know what caused the OOM and you can adjust your settings accordingly when flying the iFly 747.  I know version 1a was just released for P3Dv2 users so that it is compatible in v3.

 

I personally would suspect Aerosoft Heathrow as I think that is heavy on FPS.  IFly aircraft have a lot of eye-candy too and coupled with an airport with a lot of eye-candy, that's a prescription for major issues.  Since I own the iFly737 for P3D, think I'll get the 747.  Have been looking at that for some time now.  I have my settings for P3Dv3 really low and use GEP3D/UTX instead of Orbx.  I'm enjoying my flights so far.  If I have any problems with the iFly747, I'll let you know (if I decide to buy it).

I have to agree something is eating up VAS when the iFly747 is loaded.  I just did a short takeoff/landing at FlightBeams KIAD (Wash Dulles) and it lost a lot of VAS fast.  Problem is, I cannot prove it was the iFly747.  Here's the VAS report from FSUIPC:

I had an OOM with P3Dv3 and the PMDG 777-300 on a flight from Toronto to London. Fortunately it crashed after I was on the ground at Heathrow and taxiing to the gate.

Are you using Orbx England & Orbx Vector? If so those are whats causing the OOMS. If i don't have those two running, i am absolutely fine

[mwilk 1,106]

I am running ORBX Vector.

[Olmba 27]

Why using ORBX region when flying heavy aircraft that fly at least 34000 ft above the ground? I only use ORBX when flying low with small aircraft.

I don't think that 64 bit is going to happen for P3d.

What is complex about implementing 64-bit? Is it more than using a modern compiler?

Yes it's more ... biggest drawback is that it will break compatibility with many existing 3rd party products.

 

As for 64bit P3D, I "think" it will happen, just not a V3.x series.  There are A LOT of other changes to the SDK that would need to happen also including "possible" conversion tools.  But as we've seen from DTG, some sceneries provided by Orbx seem to be able to work well in a 64bit DTG ... so some elements of 64bit will require less work than other elements.

 

Cheers, Rob.

That's interesting, I hope LM is working in this direction already.

Microsoft Flight Simulator transitioned from 16 to 32-bit, anyone remember when? Was it FS 5.1 (DOS) to FS For Windows95? I remember having to use some converters regarding aircraft only, but my memory is really not much good on this.

Thanks!

The best thing to do is turn off all....ALL scenery of lower United Kingdom....UK2000 and Orbx alike.  I suffered ill-ingly for hours struggling to get out of Heathrow in either UK2000 or AS_LHR Extended.  I was only able to achieve success when deactivating those scenery like Southampton and UK2000 EGKK/EGLC
