A point I meant to make in my last response, is that whilst it is early days in the life of this thread, it is impossible not to notice that it is only people who are largely trouble free who are responding. By that I mean that under normal circumstances, it is the people with problems who consistently start, long and loudly, most MSFS threads. I just find it unusual that in a thread which is obviously intended to help these people, there is no (so far) response from them. 

As I said, it is early days at this stage and I hope we get a better response shortly.

Mmmm, please explain to me why I'm able to run MSFS with 8 gigs of system ram.

maybe  you not  running  msfs  to its  full  capacity

I'm running it on medium settings on an ultrawidescreen 2560 by 1080 p monitor. On a 5 year old pc. Framerates capped at 20 vsync on. To avoid excessive stutters and framerate dips, I fly in and out of small airports only. Having a ton of fun.

Yeah, keep telling me I'm not running MSFS "to its full capacity".

Edited October 2, 20205 yr by Ricardo41

so  your  not   running  msfs  to its  full capacity,  you  can  run  it  on  with  8  gigs  of  ram  but  not  to its  full potential  it  can  offer

Dude, you're not going to spoil my fun with your negativity. In fact, I like MSFS so much, sometimes I just quickly fire it up before going to work to have a quick look at some great scenery. Makes my day.

I think the original post was aimed at those people trying to run 2 or 3  x 4K monitors at Ultra while holding short at O'Hare or JFK in a Thunderstorm in a 747 with AI traffic maxed out with only 16Gb ram.

They were not saying everyone needs 32Gb, Clearly they do not, 8Gb will be fine for many people as your system amply demonstrates.

Also in the last dev talk they said over the next few patches there will be memory management improvements to reduce the need for huge amounts of system ram even further.

Ricardo41,

Regardless of RAM required vs RAM wanted vs RAM used, can you imagine for one minute a screenshot like that from default FSX or P3D. Even P3Dv5 default is not as good in my opinion.

If what you have works for you, ya gotta be laffin. For those people who have not got that, there is some work to do I guess and it is not up to me, nor is it my style, to denigrate their efforts.

 Ricardo41, 

Where  was  the  negativity, all i  said  was  you  can  run it  on  8  gigs  in fact  your  are  and  having  fun  thats  great,  but  if  you  want  to  run it  to it  full capacity obviously  your  going  to need more.   Thx  for  changing  my  name  to  Dude  kind  of  you

So far no issues and everyone has 32 GB RAM or more.

No issues. 16 GB of RAM.

Have already helped a couple of people who use Xbox controllers and report "broken" autopilots" in all airplanes. Setting a 10% deadzone fixed it for them. Not all issues are CTDs.

The biggest problem inSim is that people don,t understand that their settings are too high for their system. Always been that way in all sims. This is by far the most demanding flightsim so far, no system can handle it fully.

It would be nice to have full info, if you get a chance. 

This idea is noble for sure and I support it.... but not to throw cold water on it, there are well documented and known bugs in the code. These have absolutely nothing to do with your system spec. Dare I say that some people that say that they don’t see problems are just oblivious to them. Some don’t see the LOD issue for example, yet in their screen shots it’s pretty obvious that they have the issue.

Another good example is the avionics blackout bug. Too many people here said “I don’t have this problem, it must be your system, or you broke it by doing something.” The fact of it is that everybody has the issue. Some just had their settings set to where the bug is hidden (using generic AI for example). This is the beauty of these forums, people figure stuff out as a community and workarounds can be found. But bugs are bugs and no amount of formatting, reinstalling, changing out CPU, RAM, GPU, PSU etc will melt them away.
