Ok well I'll start turning some sliders down and also try and get you guys an fsuipc log, plus several of the other pieces of advice given on this forum, thanks for all the help it just really confused me how it would simply always OOM at Toronto even without approaching the 4GB limit, but the spiking makes sense i guess. Signed Jon

So from what I understand you are saying even though my VAS indication is clearly showing that it is a full GB away from being at the 4GB limit, that during the approach and taxi in the VAS is spiking which won't be measured by process explorer? And that spike is causing the OOM? Signed Jon.

I could understand pulling the settings back if the VAS had approached the 4GB limit(I will do that with some settings anyways to give it a try like scenery radius), but I still don't understand how you can get a an OOM without the memory approaching the VAS limit of 4GB. Jon

Well I've turned the global texture resoltution to high instead of very high everything else apart from water is on max, including ultimate traffic 2. In response to the suggestion of P4D, I simply at the moment can't afford a 400 odd dollar upgrade for my simulator. Signed Jon

32 Bit means it can access all the way to 4GB, which is what many people report OOMs occurring at, my question is why is the OOM occurring at 3GB of Vas, I know the 4GB limit. Im just confused as to why it is OOMing at 3GB when it still has plenty to access even for a 32bit program. Signed Jon Alxander

So to start off this thread I have tried multiple times from various long haul flights to try and fly the pmdg 777 into toronto pearson with only the Ray smiths Addon airport installed, I have a VAS monitor and look at it each time I try and go in, sometimes I am even looking at it when the OOM error occurs, the max the VAS monitor ever said it got to was 3.5 gb of vas usage, and the one this morning was at 3GB of VAS usage when the OOM occurred, so I've got to ask what is going on(I have a 64 bit windows and 16GB of RAM by the way). the VAS monitor I use is Process Explorer 64. This really doesn't make much sense to me, the addons I've got are the PMDG 777-300er, Activeskynext, and GSX. Those are the main ones with no scenery addons besides Ray smith's airports. So why am I getting an OOM even when my memory or VAS isn't fully used seeing as the memory used in this OOM was 7GB out of 16 GB, is there any reason why FSX is now not even taking 4GB of memory. Or is my VAS monitor getting it wrong? Signed Jon Alexander

Thanks will do. Signed Jon

Well seems like if I keep am=116 and putting asn off core 0,1 the freeze appears to occur only every 16 hours. If i put affinity mask to anything else or get rid of it at all the freezes come immediately back. Signed Jon.

Yeah I'll try that since he has a very good way of designing the airports. Signed Jon.

Thank you so much I did what you said, to leave fsx on all 8 cores, and unchecked asn on cores 0 and 1, leaving it on 2 and 3. And it flew like a breeze 13 hours flying plus 2 hours getting ready from toronto to delhi in the pmdg 777( with Ultimate traffic 2), not one freeze at all. Hopefully that's the end of it. Signed Jon.

Seem to have found a sort of manual fix, via windows task manager I tell fsx to use cores 1-3 only and tell asn to use cores 0 only worked on 1 flight, the other flight told it to use 1-4 and froze after about 4 hours but much less often, so starting to make progress. Thanks for the help so far everyone. Signed Jon.

Your right it is affinity mask, got asn and it tried to put an affinity mask setting that unfortunately didn't work, I'm trying to set affinity mask so that only 3 cores are used, you wouldn't by chance know how to do that? Signed Jon.

ASN recommends using 3 cores top, I looked up the affinity mask calculator and it said an affinity mask of 16. so would 16 only make me use 3 cores and only physical cores? Also does AM=116 just mean core 0 is being used for apps and everything else is on for simulator. Signed Jon.

How can I move my exe apps unto the last 2 cores? By just manual input? Signed Jon

Thanks I've tried 244 it failed as I mentioned, I also tried 84 so that didn't do much either although the freezes were less frequent, I'll try the other numbers. There doesn't seem to be overheating although I'll check I also haven't overclocked it in any way. What do you mean by rename the dll.xml and exe.xml, I've already tried other methods, basically all I could find and the only thing that increased or decreased the frequency of the freezes was affinity mask, for default aircraft it doesn't come on, but as soon as I use something like pmdg 747 they come., There also seems to be no connection with my weather program, while the freezes did stop on some flights with the weather program I've tried 2 different weather programs and they both have had freezing occur, it also doesn't appear to relate as whether the weather program could find a station since the freezes occurred several times in area where the stations were bountiful in number. I mostly came to affinity mask because everything else that had worked for anyone else apart from affinity mask had done nothing for me. By the way thanks everyone for all the responses. Signed Jon.
