Alan Tyrrell Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I seem to be having trouble with ORBX when I install it for X plane 11. Prior to the installation XP11 works very well. After installation XP11 crashes. I would like to know whether others are having this problem and is there a fix. The support forum at X Plane did after reading a log file, state that the problem was due to a plugin - the only plugin I had installed was ORBX. Any help would be welcome.

Alan Tyrrell Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Hi thanks for getting back These are my spec's. I currently operate X plane 11 (the latest download version) on my D/drive (see below). I have tried other drives including my current C/drive which is an SSD, but to no avail, same problem. X plane works well, but only when ORBX is not loaded. Otherwise I get memory issues and XP11 crashes ( I kept my graphics settings very low, but even this did not help. X plane support refers to Addons and as mentioned, ORBX is the only Addon I had installed. I have deleted X plane for the time being ready to reinstall and try again. The last XP11 log file I read reported the crash during the loading of ORBX. Unfortunately this was lost when I deleted the programme. I hope that this helps.

Nick Cooper Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Hello, for an otherwise reasonable strong system, I think you have, at 8 GB, too little RAM, which almost certainly is the cause of your out of memory errors. This can be remedied using a large swap file but tends to slow everything down to unacceptable performance. To have at least a chance of running X Plane 11 with an acceptable level of detail, you will need at least another 8 GB. Ideally, replace your 2 x 4 GB sticks with 2 x 8 GB sticks, at least. 4 x 8 GB sticks would be ideal if you can find them. I am finding that DDR3 memory is now harder to find and generally more expensive than DDR 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Tyrrell Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share Posted February 12, 2020 Thanks for this, also in my last post I forgot to mention that I have the following addons: Global TerraFlora - Loaded TrueEarth GB Central/North/South - Loaded Manchester Airport – Not loaded I will look at upgrading my memory, but it had been running previously OK. I'll see if it helps though. Regards AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
