Sam Freeman Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Hi there, i have recently upgraded my laptop to a desktop, and have installed FSX with orbx, and the AI AUS traffic. One thing i am noticing, which could be caused, cause i have high greapphics settings?? is that if i sit around, and dont look at the aircraft around me for a while, when i look at them again, the texture is white, and appears to reload, this seems to happen with some of the payware objects i have too. They will come back, but its allmost as if FSX throws the texure out of the cache. could this be because, the backround applications i may have running, are allready using 50% of my RAM? and fsx flushes it to make room for more?, does this mean i should upgrade to 16GB of RAM, with 4 RAM modules, instead of 2 4GB modules? New machine specs are as follows OC Core I5 4690K devils canyon 8 GB Corsair Vengeance RAM ASUS ROG Ranger VII Motherboard ATI R280x (I did not just buy this PC Soely for FSX) 3GB Saphire Dual Fan FSX installed on Samsung SSD 128 GB (with the OS) 1TB SSHD 650w PSU Addons, AU Sp4 (Latest Update) Holger Mesh AI Traffic REX PMDG 737NGX (Textures are running at 2048 in REX and AU SP4) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Harris Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 Hi Sam, Just checked your FSX.cfg, there are a few non-standard tweaks I can see (bufferpools etc), worth refreshing the FSX.cfg (back it up somewhere and then delete it and FSX will re-build a new one upon next startup On the whole its a fairly common issue with FSX, its due to the system by design dropping textures not in view to save memory/space, not particularly something that an Orbx product will cause (directly), I have experienced it with the PMDG NGX VC, but the HIMEM tweak seems to resolve it for me One thing I always recommend is removing the tower-view from your view cycle, this will prevent your view being taken away from the user aircraft and causing blurrys, more info here: http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/14835-guide-how-to-remove-tower-view/ Not being familiar with Raidon cards there may be a magic tweak I do not know of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Freeman Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 hi there, thanks for the info, the bufferpools have seemed to make fsx more stable, i configured the .cfg file from "the fsx config bible" https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB0QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.simforums.com%2Fforums%2Fthe-fsx-computer-system-the-bible-by-nickn_topic46211.html&ei=Zr4BVPrWEcy3uATXgYLYAw&usg=AFQjCNHTfXgas5DySM5HpG08LXY4vXyRww&sig2=uBbewE7Z_GRvWIK-TG3mPQ&bvm=bv.74115972,d.dGc i will try removeing the towerview, and le you know how that goes. Would it be a viable solution to install more ram? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack the Swede in Spain Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 As FSX (all 32-bit programs) can use only limited RAM, your 8 GB is more than enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 fsX maximum VAS is 4 Gig so if you have 8 G's of RAM installed you should be OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
