I don't use any products from Orbx...

oh well... at least I know that it‘s not only a problem for me, thanks!

Hi guys After flying long-haul for a few months now I‘ve noticed the following: Everytime I fly over the north-eastern part of Canada P3D crashes, this with still plenty of free VAS. When I fly from Hong Kong to Toronto for example, crossing the north-western part of Canada everything is fine. Also when I fly from Europe to Houston or Denver for example, crossing over the more southern part of Canada (Nova Scotia, Quebec, Ontario, ...) I also get no problems. However when I fly from Europe to California, having to cross the Hudson Bay area I get a crash of P3D EVERY SINGLE TIME. I get very low frames and within 5 or 10 minutes .exe stops working. I don‘t use any scenery except for airports, so all the other scenery is default. Does anyone experience the same problem or can give me some tips? Thanks in advance.

fantastic, cheers! ;)

Hi guys I presently use p3d v3.4 and would prefer to wait on upgrading to v4 a bit longer. I have the PMDG 777 and would also like to get the 747. Are both products for version 3 and 4 different products, so would I have to pay the full price again when buying them for v4? Thanks in advance

Hi guys, thought I'd open a topic here before going to fsdreamteam regarding something I've noticed with GSX... whenever I save a scenario to load it up again (in order to save VAS) GSX doesn't appear in my addons and shows up as "in trial mode and not activated)... I tried to run the live update by fsdt but that doesn't work. That's a bit frustrating when doing a 10 hour flight and not having ground handling on arrival... Anyone noticed this problem too or may even be able to help me? Thanks in advance!

Thanks guys! Already tried out a few suggestions (autogen, scenery config, scenario saving) and its a lot better now, I need 3 or 4 restarts for a 10 hour flight, but it really helps.

So I just save the scenario and then load it up again?

Hi everyone! My sim keeps crashing after 7-9 hours, I guess because I run out of memory? After weeks of flying the PMDG 777 I wasn't able to do a single flight over 6 hours... I spent hours researching about OOM and VAS and I changed my settings, monitor VAS in flights and try to prevent it. But without success. What is REALLY affective in trying to prevent it from happening? I don't use anything apart from default scenery as far as textures go, only the airports I fly between are addons, and only these two are activated when I fly... Thanks for any help :) Wahoom

Thanks everyone for your replies I saw it on the prepar3d forum that it's a common problem... I did hide the updates but probably too late because it still doesn't work for me. I guess I'll just wait until a fix by MS is released. I'll still try your suggestions in the meantime and hope for the best :) Kerim

Hi everyone I'm back with a problem I had before... When I try to load a scenario at 99% loading state P3D stops working. A Windows update caused that for me before and I had to deinstall that update every time again so P3D works. But now with the newest Windows Update that doesn't help anymore... Loading a default scenario and then switching to my aircraft doesn't work either :( I hope someone can help me out. Thanks in advance!

I have that problem too. I use P3D V3.4 and before the Windows Update KB...788 which came out something like a month ago everything was fine, then I couldn't load any aircraft anymore. I went to my Updates timeline in Windows Settings and deinstalled that Update every time again. Like that it worked again for me. Now however 3 or 4 days ago a new update came out and deinstalling that doesn't help anymore. What I found out now though is that I can load the default scenario and select a new scenario in the sim, that way it works again (for other aircraft to load). But about 30 minutes or 1 hour into a flight the sim crashes all the time now... Hopefully somebody can give a solution here because this is really annoying :(

Thank you so much for your help and work Jim! It's really awesome what you guys are doing to help others :) Best regards

Thank you very much for your reply Jim That explains a lot. I will reduce my settings and is it best if I just disable the addons in the "scenery..." section I don't need in a flight, so not all of them are enabled? Best regards

Hi everyone I'm still very much new to P3D and I'm having quite some issues with it... When I first installed P3D with Aircraft, Sceneries, etc. all worked great and I really enjoyed it. However that only lasted for about 2 months. In the last 3-4 weeks I can't do a single flight without P3D.exe "stopping to work". Also I've been getting out of memory issues now... It's really annoying because I bought a good expensive PC and I can't bring it to work. Can anybody help me out by recommending anything or explaining what is happening to my system? Thanks in advance!
