WINDOWS VISTA ONLY:

1. Open a command prompt with Administration rights. You find the command prompt box under "Programs->Accessories->Command prompt"   or somewhere around there

2. Right Click the command prompt and select "run as administrator".

3. Enter in the box at the prompt: (copy/paste if you wish)

bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVA 2560  

and press enter

4. Reboot

TO set that back to default in VISTA just start the command line prompt with Admin right again and type:

bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVA 2048

Hit enter and reboot

The first value will tell VISTA to address more memory. It should be used if you have more than 2GB installed, or in some cases 2GB or less.

the second line was to restore the default Vista value if it does not work.

Make sure you have the updates from Windows Update installed that address out of memory errors too.

ok.....seems to work better thanks........before, in spot view, when i moved around the plane in flight, i was getting a bunch of flashing black vertical lines covering everything...then the out of memory sign popped up....now it seems to be running smoothly...the only reason i say "seems" is because, in this game, i'm always waiting for the floor to fall out from under me
