Computer Memory Problem

[falcon409]

Specifically, the message says "Your Computer has run out of available memory, restart the Sim and choose different graphic settings". This only happens in FSX (currently), I'm checking P3D and X-Plane to see if those fail as well. Hoping this isn't a harbinger of worse problems.

This is a bit surprising considering the fact that you already got 16 GB of RAM on your computer...
However, how is your "virtual memory" set ?
If it's set to the default "let windows handle it", then you might run into this kind of problems.
Best is to set the virtual memory to a fix size (minimum = maximum), equal to your amount of RAM (16 GB in your case, but you can start with 8 Gb instead and see how it goes).
Be aware this will create a 16 GB file on one of your hardrives...

Even if Falcon has 16 GB of RAM, FSX will only use 4 Gb of it. Enlarging the pagefile (virtual memory) is indeed a good proposal.

Currently set as follows:
Min. 16MB
Recommended 2943
Currently Allocated 1024

to do a custom setting it requires an "Initial Size" and a "Maximum size"

This was one of key reasons I dropped FSX for P3D 64 bit. OOM's are an inherent unresolved issue with FSX which do not happen ever for me now using P3Dv4.

Seek out Large Address Aware which may/should help.

Set both the "initial" and the "maximum" to 8192, click on the button "define" nearby, and confirm everything.
If that does not solve the problem, then it means it's not related to memory, but rather a bug in the AI traffic or a scenery.

Thanks Daube. I am testing an assumption on what is actually causing the problem. It only seems to occur when one aircraft is in use (a recent payware purchase). I am going to uninstall and then reinstall and test again. I'm hoping there might have been a glitch during the installation and this will fix it.
