August 19Aug 19 oops my bad for thinking you actually might have been somewhat interested in debugging the issue in addition to pure 100% pointless rant. But here's one last whack before you send it to the glue factory: boot into a live usb distro (e.g. latest ubuntu or endeavourOS) and try it there. And if it still fails there, start the sim in gdb and check the stack trace after it freezes. Where does it fail? Friendly reminder: WHITELIST AVSIM IN YOUR AD-BLOCKER. Especially if you're on a modern CPU that can run a flight simulator well. These web servers aren't free...

August 19Aug 19 Last time I've installed Ubuntu, about a decade ago, the package manager offered 3 nvidia drivers to install. You had to google which one as the other two were broken... On my 5 year old system I have 32GB Ram, which is probably the minimum. Never had problems on Ubuntu.-

XP12 also bumped up the VRAM requirements.I have a 4090 so happy with the VRAM, BUT my 32Gb Ram has become 16Gb as a ram stick developed a fault and crashes the PC - no way I can afford even a 16Gb stick at current prices 😭 CPU Ryzen 7800X 3D RAM 32GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR5 6000MHz GPU GEFORCE RTX 4090 Monitor AOC AGON AG352UCG UltraWide G-Sync @ 3440x1440 Internal Storage 1TB NVMe PCIe SSD External Storage Three 4Tb HDs
September 17Sep 17 Author Well I have concluded I have maybe some memory lag in general with the sim but nothing that is a problem. So my 16GB RAM is coping ok and so is the NVIDIA 2070 Super at 8GB.I can get the sim to load in less than 45secs generally about 35 secs.Once stabilised that is time for textures addons etc to load if selecting a flight - maybe about 1.5 mins max then I see nothing less than 45FPS - regularly 60FPS with all my graphic sliders for everything set on max and no sim system warnings about lack of memory.That may suggest maybe some more RAM would speed things up on loading but that is all I would get. I get no stutters or freezing and can run any model I like from Felix to Tolis and even a said developers models which should have failed all load and run correctly. FWIW it is a Linux box now - seems good to me.
