Ah HA!! Thank you for posting that link, and I believe the pinging noise that is going on there is the "Windows Exclamation" sound. Interesting because I've personally never heard that, but then again, my experiences with OOMs are rather limited. One thing that I noticed in that video, is when he did a brief side by side of the config files. The Steam edition config had a larger value for Shader_Cache_Primed. Since this is the same machine, I would assume same values on both configs, but that is not the case. He showed both configs briefly, and not in their entirety. So, if it's not violating any terms of agreements, I would like to request a Steam Ed. FSX.cfg file from somebody. Somebody who has an i5 running at roughly 4.5GHz, with 16GB of DDR3, and with an Nvidia card with 2GB of DDR5 (GTX670 would be perfect). With that config file, I can do an exact side by side comparison to see what other differences exist between the two. With that information, I may be able to assist Dan on what may be helping to alleviate OOMs on the Steam versions. I don't see why there would be any legalities tied to the FSX.cfg, but if there are, then I apologize for even asking.
