Running out of memory and crashing back to decktop?
Well, after my experience en missions in Korea with a lot of planes, explosions and AAA and several crashes to Windows decktop(run out of memory resources)I have finded finally the main responsable : SOUND.
Sound can be very hungry in machine PC memory resources. To test, before to do any modification to the settings in display or others , test the same mision without SOUND.
If the mission run OK and not crashes to Windows, you have there the answer of your problem.
Change the sound of your MiG-15, F-86,F-84, etc with a default one, the sound of the Lear for example is OK and gentle with the memory resources. Configure and aliase with the sound, take a liquid cooled sound for piston engine and utilise this one for F-51D, Yak-9, Il-10, etc, the sound of Corsair for radials like AD Skyraider and a twin engine sound, like P-38 for the big ones, B-29, B-26, Tu-2, etc. If you have three or four sound for your Korea hangar is enough and you reduce the risk of unexpected "surprises". Go for safe with well known sounds.
