Nick Cooper Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Hello, I am fairly sure that this happens when FSX has not been updated to Service Pack 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainut123 Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 nick thanks I had a look for the service pack two Microsoft have not issued any new ones or will they. they want everyone to use win 10 do you think it may help if I find an old pack 2 ( ffs0469300) adding England today as well . I suppose I could migrate to 10 but don't want to if I can help it but I cant live with these ghost shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Helloo, I think you misunderstand. When FSX was released, it was the RTM version. After that, there were two updates (to FSX) issued which you can still find and download. Service Pack 1 here and Service Pack 2 here. I believe that it is the lack of FSX Service Pack 2 that is causing what you are seeing, I have seen this twice before in customer's screen shots and it was the correct answer in both cases.

trainut123 Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 thanks nick that did it not a ghost in site . I do have another question you maybe able to help with, I think this is down to settings to high / see photo / my system is about on par with yours 16gb ddr4 2133 6700k stock at 4.2 at present as per photo would I be any better of ie>more memory or running it faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Hobson Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 The dreaded OOM error, not related to how much memory you have installed or how fast your CPU is. Lots of references on-line about this, but I'm sure Nick will have some good advice for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethro VH-JET Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Hi Trainut123, Nick will probably say something similar, I agree with Stew, that looks like a VAS OOM (Out Of Memory ) error message. Where were you flying at the time the message appeared. Looks like you just hit the 32bit 4Gb VAS limit of the Simulators Virtual Address Space. You could reduce your Autogen slider and reduce AI traffic, boats, ships & cars , along with selecting a less heavy weather scheme, to compensate in heavier areas which may keep you under the 4Gb limit. Adding Physical RAM will not help unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Hello, Yes, that message is telling you that you have run out of Virtual Address Space which will happen regardless of the computer specs if the settings are too high. FSX and P3D can access only 4096 mb of VAS in a 64 bit operating system and when this runs out, it is at just the same moment whether there are 4GB of RAM or 32 GB of RAM installed. The only solution is to identify the setting(s) that is (are) too high and turn them down a little. Sometimes too much autogen will bring this on, sometimes it is a complex aircraft, sometimes too much scenery loaded at once, sometimes the LOD radius set too high, sometimes too many clouds, sometimes it can be a poor model, whether in the scenery or the aircraft or a combination of some or all of these things. It is usually the last thing that was added that receives the blame for an OOM error but there is not a single cause and it will always be the last thing that was added that tips the computer from just enough VAS to not quite enough. This is why there is so much discussion whenever a 64 bit flight simulator is proposed, 64 bit software can access up to 8TB of VAS. Depending on what sort of scenery you have, the Scenery Config Editor can be a very useful means of limiting the amount of scenery loaded, though if you have only FTX products installed, FTX Central does much the same job. Otherwise, just reduce your settings, autogen first until you can fly without running out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
