Solutions to reduce VAS OOM FSX
Posted: Tue Nov 08, 2016 2:51 pm
Hi Tony,
First of all, what a mind blowing add on. As an owner of 100s of FSX addons as well as a full scale 737 sim, I can safely say this is the single most impressive add on to date. I can now get a taste of the future!
Anyhow I have been testing the PMDG737 and mine is working great, I can read everything no problem and if something isn't 100% clear you can lean forward a little.
I have been trying to complete a serious flight with the PMDG 737 (approx 30 min hop) and can not complete with out getting an out of memory crash almost completing a flight. I am trying to understand the relationship or how I can control the VAS effect. It would be fair to say after years of tweaking I have a stable system while getting the best out of graphics and OOM issues were a thing of the past for me. So I understand adding the headset is obviously greatly adding to this and I am wondering what I can control to lower the VAS usage before I start going and lowering my set graphic settings in the off chance there are some other settings I can try. It surprises me as I usually power 3 x 55" LCDs from my graphics card with out issues, I disabled all back to 1 monitor to add the head set.
System specs: i7 -4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz
Ram: 16GB
Operating: Windows 7 64 bit
Any advice would be greatly appreciated as there is no need to build home cockpits with a piece of software like this! It is incredible how real it feels when using this software.
