Out of RAM....

[fabiane]

From one day to another my FS refuses to start....
I'm running WinXP pro and haven't changed anything on FS exept for installing AES 2.1 from 1.X and a WoAI package. I have 2Gb of RAM and never had any problems when running FS9.

It says FS is out of memory, but the sysmonitor tells me there's a lot of memory available. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help,

Cheers,
Fabian

Since it didn't do it before, I would say it's one of those two things you installed. Remove one at a time and see if the error stops. Process of elemination.

Usually the Out of Ram error is caused by an addon scenery. So if the WOAI pack included no scenery, then I would suspect the AES.

Keep us updated.

Went back to AES 1.99 with no success. I remember I made some Windows updates since last time I fired up FS.

A new installed FS (I have a backup folder) runs very good by the way.......,

So, I'm starting to look after my Addons.....

Fixed now....,

I installed a KBWI Baltimore scenery and that was the scenery that made me run out of RAM  :P.

Cheers, and thanks for the help,

If you don't mind, which one, so I can see if it's a chronic problem for all, or just a case by case issue.  :)


Glad to hear it's all good now. 8-)

FYI - On the page for this scenery is a link to correct the "freeze" problem -

If FS is freezing when trying to load this scenery, please delete all files of size zero (0 KB) from your "Addon Scenery\KBWI\scenery" folder.

Guess you might have missed that.
