Steve Colbert Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 If it helps matters, I've had zero issues or OOMs so far with very smooth frame rates with Orbx AI and boats set to 16% and autogen at second highest level, using a variety of add-on aircraft by Carenado. And I've been flying between the Anacortes, Orcas and Friday Harbor add ons like crazy. FPS in the high 30s. If I can help by answering questions I'd be glad to do so. FSX - SE specs below...

BoyScout Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Very stable with me as well. I have all NA airports installed in P3D v3.1 along with the AVSIM AI boat traffic, Larry's boat AI traffic and RTMM AI boat traffic as well. I dialed back my Autogen to Normal and my Scenery Complexity is at Dense. Everything else at recommended settings minus the Texture Filtering and I am in the mid to upper 20s for FPS. I am also using Rex 4 textures, all my Rex 4 settings are at medium except the runway and taxiways, which are at 4096. For those that are having issues, it may help to reduce your scenery texture resolution down to 2048 or 1024. Keeping my texture resolution to 2048 in SCA, I haven't had any issues in that area either. I would suggest having different configs for different regions. Seattle area is always rough on frames/OOMs, especially in FSX at least for me it was. I would rather dial my settings back and enjoy some sim time rather than wasting my time, knowing that pushing the sim will result in OOM.

Chunk Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I've been following a thread over at AVSIM, discussing potential VAS savings by using the AffinityMask entry in the P3D.cfg. I tried it just for poops and giggles, and low and behold...I completed my previously OOM-guaranteed nightmare flight of Friday Harbor to Firstair. Using the VAS monitor, the tweak "saved" me approximately 200MB of VAS headspace. Enough to allow me to complete the trip, properly shut down the Comanche, and have a couple fingers of Scotch!

JW Johnson Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 For people with A2A aircraft experiencing OOM with Friday Harbor, try turning off AccuSim. With A2A Piper J3 and AccuSim, I could not approach from any direction to within 60 miles of KFHR without being bounced to desktop, and also had similar probs when departing the area. I switched to RA Citabria without AccuSim, and all worked well. When I then switched off AccuSim, the Piper J3 also worked flawlessly, although without AccuSim features. So far, so good. Wonderful scenery! JW Johnson FSS0435936 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunk Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 That may work, but why even fly an A2A aircraft without Accu-Sim?!? Although, flying non-complicated planes is a trade off, and I happen to really enjoy the RealAir Citabria. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriLa Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 As far as I know the C172 and the Cherokees have AccuSim integrated, so it cannot be switched off. Or did I miss something? Fritz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvj Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Is ORBX ready to provide the much needed update fix to this scenery? Still getting OOM's. I've now disabled it from my scenery list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chunk Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I don't think it's KFJR that's at fault, but a combination of things, DVJ. I think Friday Harbor was just the straw that broke the PNW's OOM back. As such, I don't know if they can "fix" it competely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curt1 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I found that selecting the low resolution textures and default boat traffic in the control panel gave me enough overhead to stop OOM's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvj Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 The fact that I have had to resort to LOD 4.0 and low resolution textures, and zero traffic settings to do any flying around this area to me is unacceptable. I don't have this problem with any other ORBX products. No more purchases from me until this is resolved. As stated before, I've disabled this scenery.

kdfw Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 the oom thread's a little long so just wanted to describe how i'm now getting oom flying into kfhr. never experienced oom on fsx before. oom seems to happen when i start somewhere (khqm in my case), fly north east through the seattle area, head north around bellingham, then west/southwest over kors, then into kfhr. going over kors seems to gobble up memory space and it doesn't seem to free enough of it up to allow kfhr to run without hitting the memory limit. also, coming in over roche harbor field to kfhr seems to affect the amount of free memory at kfhr. if i just do a straight cle elum kfhr via cvv works just fine every time. so when testing the patch, i hope kfhr is being tested with near by orbx airports like kors and 74s in place with those scenery being loaded on its way to kfhr. 2048 texture autogen dense no ai airplanes 7% cars 10% boats lod radius 5.5 or maybe i need to add TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_TREES_PER_CELL=4500 TERRAIN_MAX_AUTOGEN_BUILDINGS_PER_CELL=3000 if kfhr photoreal is just too much.

Chunk Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Russ, Is there any way you can give us a heads up to what this patch is going to try and fix, and since you said that most of the fat had been trimmed from KFHR, will ORBX look at a patch for PNW to address the issues in this area?

It is no super fix but it did let me keep flying about four times as long as any time before. Maybe this plus other fixes mentioned above might just get us bye for now.

Penzoil3 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 I have problems with KORS in both P3D 3.1, and 2.5. Either sim will crash, aproaching KORS. OrbX KORS isn't installed in 3.1, so I think; it's an FSX thing. If I try to start a flight at KORS either sim starts to load, and stops responding at 77%. I have low FPS at KFHR, (12 to 17) but it doesn't crash the sims with settings dialed back a bit. Hope this helps. Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Chunk, The patch for KFHR focuses on fixing all bugs reported by users. In regards to memory issues, after a lot of testing, it's not possible for us to provide a magical fix in this patch that will resolve the issue. This is because the issue is not with the KFHR scenery, it is a legacy issue in FSX or (possibly, but not likely) PNW. This is something me and Greg are investigating in our own time. What can we do in this patch to help people with memory issues in the KFHR area? We've added and changed some features in the control panel to help the user reduce memory load. Using Low Resolution mode will now save more memory than it did before, as it now also affects the Ground Poly. Disabling any other features that you do not use will also help. We have also made a pass of all textures in the KFHR scenery and reduced their size (trimming the fat) where appropriate. This means POIs may be a bit lower resolution, but it's not very noticable. This will reduce memory usage a little. The patch has been completed by me and Greg and we've passed it over to the testers to be thoroughly checked. We're looking at their feedback now and I'll keep you updated. Thanks, Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripcord Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 BoHill, generally it just doesn't snow much on the western side of the mountains. True for Seattle and Vancouver as well. Rains and rains, but snow is pretty rare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgr Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Hiya, Any update on this? Just bought Orca's and Friday habor. Startup at Orca, steady memory usages and normal values Startup at Friday Harbor, memory usages start normal yet start to increase (which points to memory leak in my humble option.

CZZ Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 My settings as of this morning: All Friday Harbor Control Panel settings are set to Disabled. I do get stuttering periodically, but not enough to be concerned. The first pic was taken after landing. The first and last line in the fsx.cfg pic is noteworthy. The plane is the Carenado Bonanza A36. Hope this helps someone. BTW I had constant OOMS errors before these settings were made.
