Thanks to both. Still working on it. But no solution.

Hi gb, Sorry, my error. Actual Samsung model is u28d590d monitor. Current resolution in FSX is 2560x1440x32 - there are no 16s available. Checking again today and noticed that when landing lights on in my aircraft and other taxying aircraft the runway "colour" appeared to be normal. Whether or not that is relevant I have no idea. The only common denominator in all my testing was the PC and FSX. Colf

Hi gb, It looks the same not matter what resolution. I have tried different cards, monitors, completely new reinstall, every setting I can think of but the result remains the same. Photos and films are fine so it must be something within FSX I would think. Colf

Hi, Current Rig is: Samsung 4K 29" Monitor, Zotac GTX980 Video Card, Intel i7-4770K @ 3.50Hz, 16.00GB RAM, MS Windows 8.1, FSX with Acceleration Pack, Current Resolution is 25630 x 1440 59Hz. Recently installed the GTX980 and initially everything was fine. After a few days I noticed that night textures and gone downhill; terrain was beginning to look a bit like blotting paper soaking up and generating patches of mainly purple and green. Clouds had a purple tinge to them. Daytime appears fine. I connected monitor to card using Display Port but am now using HDMI but it doesn't make any difference. I have tried every setting I can think of on the monitor and card including default to no avail. I even tried a virgin installation of FSX but still got the same problem. I recently did a flight over Manhattan X and noticed that the shadows or dark areas in between some skyscrapers appeared darker than usual and with a purple tinge - this was a daytime flight. In all other respects the detail was incredible with FPS around 30. I would appreciate any help/advise. Many Tks Colf

Hi, Went with Samsung 4K 28" Monitor. Installed yesterday and still very much in the learning process but very pleased. Can fly with 3840 x 2160 and detail is incredible. Text very, very small thought but still learning. Manhattan X was incredible before but now it is really special. Managed to do a quick flight from Newark to JFK without OOM but suspect it was pretty close to it but then all my settings are Max'd. Use the VAS monitor but can have that running at the side of FSX because of the Widescreen which means I can easily change setting in flight should the need arise. Colfmedion

Many thanks for response. Might just go with that one - have been looking at it for long time. If I do will post results. Colfmedion

Hi, Have been searching all over for answer but all I get is Confusion. My question is: What will be the result of pairing a Zotac GeForce GTX 760 2GB GDDR5 with a 28inch 4k monitor. Other specs are i7 4770k at 3.9ghz, 2 x 8gb Kingston Hyperbeast Ram, OS and FSX run on separate SSDs. Generally run all settings at max and get FPS from 25 to well over 100, depending on scenery, height, etc. Looking for a bigger screen monitor, currently on 25", but want to go 4k if possible or at least 2560 x 1440 resolution. Grateful for any advice Colfmedion

Hi, Have just done 3 test flights from Philadelphia to KJFK using same aircraft, etc. 1st flight had Autogen Off and Manhattan X Off. All other airports for New York were on as normal. VAS started at 2192584 and ended at 895776 and no OOM. All scenery behaved as expected with airports showing full details. 2nd flight was with Manhattan X on and Autogen Off. VAS started at 2289336 and ended at 304004 and no OOM. Again, scenery was as expected with Manhattan X in all its glory. 3rd flight was with Manhattan X on and Autogen Normal. VAS started at 2240464 and ended at 116800 with OOM but no Crash. I then set Autogen to Sparse and VAS went to 439292 with no OOM. All flights ended at Gate. So, exactly as you said, Autogen is the killer but at least I have found my level and around New York there is enough detail generated by the airports so lack of a few "trees" is not too upsetting!!. Elsewhere I have full Autogen and Full everything else with no problems. Many thanks for help. Colf

Hi, Thanks for response. Have just printed off your response and the link you referred to. I will study them. To be honest I think the problem lies in my expectations. I have a high end system but this apparently counts for nothing in FSX. I know my problems lies in the "paid for" add ons I have for the New York area - Manhattan X, New York City Airports for FSDream Teams KJFK V2. All are excellent but their requirements seem to be just too much for FSX unless I tone down my settings. But what is the point of expensive equipment and excellent add ons if everything has to be toned down. Just saying. Colf

Hi, System Basics: Win 8.1. FSX Gold. Intel 4990K at 3900Mhz. 2 X 8GB Kingston Hyperx Beast DDR3 AT 2330Mhz. MOBO is Maximu VI Hero. This rig is 4 months old. OS ON SSD. FSX on its own SSD. Lots of spare capacity on both SSDs. Have Drzewiecki Design New York City Airports installed. Previously had FSDream Team KJFK V2. Aerosoft Manhattan X. Up to about 2 months ago I was able to use all sceneries with no problems whatsoever. Then out of the blue I started to get OOM when using any of the New York Airports. Since then I have tried everything that I can think of to cure this. Tried every variation of Paging File. Settings have been changed many times. Tried Direct X 10 Preview. Tired with just one of the New York City Airports installed. Max Memory used, according to Resource Monitor was 38% but still get OOM. I say again that I have changed nothing but one thing, in the past 2 months prior to which I did not get OOM. The one thing that has changed is the MOBO. PC had to go back to manufacturer because of a fault which was determined to be MOBO. A new MOBO was installed. Grateful for any advice/help. Colf

Will do. Currently backing up all other PC stuff before "ripping" it apart.

Brain is getting a bit befuddled but over the past 2 weeks I am convinced I have tried a completely fresh installation of Win 8 and FSX with same results. I was about to pull FSX and equipment and wait for a while and then try again but I will try again a new installation of Win 8 and et al. Watch this space. Tks Colf

Have tried both options to the FULL and sad to say, neither work. I have been careful in the extreme when uninstalling, installing, loading and reloading. I have installed on different discs (after formatting and checking discs|ssd). I seem to end up at the same point. Everything looks good and aircraft on runway ready to go but the moment I hit any of the menu lists I get a fatal error. Also, now FSX will not hold any of my settings, i.e. default flight, throttle settings, etc. I am at a total loss with this.

Tks for responses. Will try reinstall to Win 8 first and if that doesn't work I'll try Win 7

Have spent last 2 weeks trying to reinstall FSX which had been working perfectly well for several years apart from usual minor hiccups. Everytime I try to install FS Acceleration Expansion Pack I get the message "could not open Key" and installation rolls back and terminates. I have tried reinstalling a drive image of FSX which includes the Acceleration pack and which worked up to 2 weeks ago but then I get "fatal error". I have tried completely wiping FSX from PC and reinstalling from scratch but with same result. I have tried a completely fresh installation of Windows 8 but still get same result. As far as I can tell all equipment works okay and I have done virus and malware scans and disk scans to the nth degree with no adverse results. I have tried new installations of FSX on different discs and also different partitions with same result. I am now at a total loss and would appreciate any help and advise. Tks.
