VRAM leaking at Cruise over EU Cities,help!

Featured Replies

Hi,please help me,I’m getting good performance and VRAM managing on the ground on a major airport like aerosoft EDDF,changing views,panning camera in cockpit and taxiing,very nice and smooth but…..

When reaching FL320/380 (cruising)from EDDF to LSZH when overflying LSZH my VRAM goes to red in dev mode and collapses,checking on the ramp in fsdreamteam LSZH or MK LSZH my sim performs very nice…

Ground TLOD 100-150 and passing 5000ft TLOD 300 with msfs autofps.

Flying over Greece islands,Canary Islands or New Zealand even Spain I can set my TLOD +400 airborne without VRAM problems,this only occurs over EU major cities at cruise levels.

Not bad specs;

AMD Ryzer 9 9950X3D

64MB RAM

RTX 5080 using MFG X3 or X4 using nvidia panel and vsync on also capping at my 34” screen (frec 160hz)

I get stables 160fps all the time,the only problem is VRAM leaks to red zone overflying at cruise levels Swiss and other big cities,but NOT when at ground on any big airports…

This is driving me crazy.Any help will be VERY appreciated.

Thanks guys!.

2020? 2024? does it occur with default airports, etc. 

Classic opportunity for old fashioned debugging. Is there any condition in which you don't observe this problem? That's an amazing frame rate, but does the problem persist if you cap fps at 60?

 

Good luck.

Upsss sorry mate,is FS2024 with addon airports EDDF,LKPR,LSZH,EGLL nice fps on ground but when overflying the zone/city at cruise level my VRAM spikes and enter in red zone(dev mode) full gpumem consumption.Sstrange that on the ground at the ramp the VRAM goes into yellow or remains on white zone and all is ok…

Any light?

And for capping FPS the best way is set 60FPS inside fs2024 menu?.

i think in my rig is performing better without fps limiter…

Cap depends on your settings. 

Cap at half of your monitor refresh rate and use frame gen.

I think my problem is overflying the Alps,those mountains totally broke my VRAM comsumption…

Can anybody confirm this checking VRAM over the Alps mountain please?

There is nothing to confirm. I don't have any problems in that area. You probably have an add on that causes this.

Try renaming your community folder to community_bak and create a new community folder.  Try to overfly the alps.

Pretty sure the issue will go away proving it's an add-on

Gradually add your add-ons a few at a time into the new community folder

You get the idea...

Thank you very much,I use addonslinker,and I’d tried with and without FSDT LSZH and MK studios LSZH one at a time and default fs2024 scenery but still the same.

Anyway I will try your suggestion but on my community folder only have navigraph,fenix busses….

You might want to take literally the original suggestion and do a test flight with an empty Community folder. You would need to select a default aircraft that can fly high enough to do the job (there are default Airbuses, of course), but otherwise, it's really useful to start from a stable foundation.

Have fun and please report back so we all learn something.

Europe has always being a performance-hog on my system even at cruize mainly on MSFS2020.

Try disable any world updates related to Europe as well

My FPS /(CPU 90-100%) always tanks over Europe vs USA

This is one issue you could check that there aren't double airports (ASOBO and 3d party) go in to your market place and disable the airports from ASOBO which you have also from 3d party. That could trigger stutters VRAM issue due to conflicts. Noticed also with beta SU4 that those where enabled again, after disabling they stayed disabled.

More testing guys…

I’d checked and climbed from LSZH on a holding pattern over airport up to FL340.

Full Cleaning Community folder

With standard LSZH airport

With MKStudios LSZH

With FSDTeam LSZH

With default airbus

With Fenix A320

Searching and deactivating all entries with “LSZH”,”SWISS”,””ZURICH” and also interesting points on Switzerland inside de marketplace library.

Nothing works,as ever nice and fluid at ground even on addon airport but when climbing to FL340-360 my VRAM leaks to fully red and triggers VRAM message.

This is driving me crazy…!!!

With a “conservative” TLOD on AutoFPS from 100 ‘till 1000ft base on ground and 300 passing 5000ft when airborne…

Checking another Swiss airport like LSGG,can climb in a holding pattern over airport to FL340-360-380 with a little VRAM spiking to a low yellow value on devmode when go to cabin window view but after set to main cockpit view again it stabilizes to a normal-soft high value without problems…

STOP increasing TLOD--leave it at 100 and see how it does all the way up.
