FSX Out of memory error

[Mike]

Basically I've come back to FSX Steam Edition wanting to fly some of these virtual routes, but I keep getting a message telling me I've run out of memory and that I should adjust some of the settings, but it comes up before the main menu even loads, any help?

Had the same issue twice now. Landing at KLAS. Autogen density was high but I have 16 gigs of RAM. I hope dovetails can do something about it.

It has nothing to do with physical RAM. If you Google "FSX VAS" you will find many topics regarding the virtual address space limits within FSX. This will not be fixed as it would require a major re-write.

To avoid it you have to start adjusting your detail levels and/or the number of addons you have installed.

The out of memory problem is caused by the anisotropic filter. Set the filter to 4x and you will no longer have problems with it. The standart value force the sim to reserve to much virtual memory . I hope the new developer team can fix this issue soon.

Where do I find the 4x option? Mine only shows Anisotropic, Trilinear, and Bilinear.

Thank you.

@svatem1: check also that in the AMD Catalyst Control Center, FSX is to be run on the HD 7750.

For the millionth time:

As Kabacus said,
Out of Memory errors have NOTHING to do with the amount of RAM you have or another other specification of your PC.
OOM (Out of Memory) errors are to do with VAS (Virtual Addressing Space).
FSX is a 32bit application which means it is naturally limited to 4GB of VAS. If you exceed that 4GB limit, then you will get an OOM (Out of Memory).
For every addon or notch you put your detail sliders up, the more VAS you use. The only way to decrease your overall VAS usage is to reduce your detail sliders or to uninstall some addons.

Or stop trying to run it on a laptop with integrated graphics. Desktop or nothing.
