Vista - FSX running out of memory

Hi,

I'm trying to use FSX, but I can not make any flight that are more than
60minutes, after 60minutes FSX crash with a message that it has run out of
memory, and that I should lower my video

I have an Nvidia 8800GTS with 640Mb of RAM, and the computer has 4Gb of RAM,
and when it crashes the memory is barely at 30% utilisation

BTW the Video settings are 1600X1200X16

I checked the link below, and it does not give anything as to how to fix the
problem

Maybe I should've mention that I'm using Vista Ultimate 64Bit, so the 2Gb is
not an issue here

problem some time ago with a Photoshop program that kept giving me out of
mem errors. Turns out I had gone from 1GB to 2GB RAM but XP did not readjust
the virtual memory. Manually bumping it up to max resolved the issue. I don't
know if the same applies to Vista but worth a try. I am on vista now (new
PC) with 3GB RAM( added 1GB recently) and an 8800GTS card but have not tried
FSX yet to see if I have issues.

2) Some report using 16 bit instead of 32 bit in the video settings of FSX
may solve the problem.

3) Majority of the errors seem related to 8800 series cards as well so as
usual make sure you have the latest drivers

Good luck and would love to know when you resolve it

news:ee1rmkVFIHA.1184@xxxxxxI was going to suggest this patch, fixed some issues for me, I hear it's for
system with a lot of ram and stuff. Might just go to microsoft.com and find
the FSX support site, they might have troubleshooting for this problem.

BTW, why are you running the game at 16bit color? Since Quake 3 I can't live
without 32-bit color.

news78DDD98-4382-4F63-A0DC-DCD3848352DF@xxxxxxI run it at 32. I only offered it as a tip which some users said solved
their out of memory problems

I'm running 16bit for the color, because i allows me to play a little
longer, if I use the 32bit color FSX crashes after about 15min

I have been using FSX since last November. I bought a Dell 720 XPS with
a Core 2 QUAD Q6600 2.4 MHrz and 3GB Ram. I have VISTA 32 bit Home
Premium OS and I have a NVIDIAGeForce 8800 GTX Video Card and a 1TB7200
Hard Drive. The FSX has run great in stock mode (no add ons) with good
frame rates. I recently purchased some aircraft add-ons and also
installed Ultimate Terrain X and Ground Environment X. Now I can't make
a flight over 30-40 minutes without the simulator just freezing. It
gives me the out of available memory dialogue box and I've just wasted
my flight time. I've tried finding solutions. Dell sold me a memory
stick to configure in ready boost mode to supposedly increase memory
above the 3GB that came with the computer. I think I got bad advice as
that didn't do anything at all to resolve the memory problem. I'm really
loosing the joy I used to have with this flight sime stuff and am
desperately trying to get some good advice. I'm not a high tech computer
person so I need some advice I can understand. Would appreciate any
recommendations. HELP!!!

The "Out of Memory" dialogue box, is it in the game? or Windows giving you
this error.
