I have experienced an "Out Of Memory" error and subsequent Crash-To-Desktop in FSX while flying around dense scenery areas like Los Angeles and Manhattan. I have "only" 2GB on board, which I will soon be at least doubling.
But, in the meantime I am monitoring the RAM usage during flight, using DriveGleam (http://drivegleam.en.softonic.com/), which also monitors CPU usage for Core 0 and Core 1, and shows hard-dsk activity - but it does all that in the System Tray, so to see it I have to fly in Windowed Mode. :-(
(I am also occasionally FREEING UP RAM using Free Ram Optimizer - http://www.yourwaresolutions.com/software.html - it sees to help!)
I would much prefer to fly in Full-Screen Mode, so I was wondering if there was a Flight Simulator add-on or gauge that would pop-up on demand to monitor critical parameters like Physical and Virtual memory, without pausing the sim or leaving Full-Screen Mode?
