I have 6 Gb of Ram and I don't have that issue. My last computer had 4 Gb
of Ram. Sounds like you might want to do a complete reinstall of FSX. That
is really the only suggestion I can give you. I have had occasions where I
have run out of memory, but it has never been to the point where my computer
shuts down.

Subject: [bvipilots] Memory Leak in FSX?
I am running Win 7, 32-bit, FSX+acceleration, FSUIPC 4.8, and latest version
of IYP. I am wondering if there is a memory leak in FSX? I seem to have
poor performance with FSX and IYP, delayed responses between the time I
issue a command, and the click to let me know Michelle received it, then
further delay in the execution and results of that command, as well as
stuttering of JFW, Michelle, and other sounds, i.e., FSX sounds, or merely
system sounds. Sometimes my speech recognition completely shuts down. I
haven't been able to complete a flight because of this crap. So today I got
fed up, and I ran a test. Keep in mind I have 2 GB ram, which should be
sufficient to avoid this issue, especially in light of the fact that I had
no other programs running with the exception of Jaws. I opened my resource
monitor prior to loading IYP and FSX, and I had over 1 GB free memory. I
loaded FSX and IYP, then went to my resource monitor.
I expected the number to go down. After loading FSX and IYP, it dropped me
to like 800k free memory; apparently FSX eats RAM. But to my amazement, the
numbers kept dropping...FSX kept increasing it's use of RAM (I seriously
doubt this was IYP; I suspect Robert addressed that early on in
development). I did nothing, simply stayed on the resource monitor page.
FSX is still minimized, and Michelle has told me that we're ready to go.
But I am just watching what happens. Down and down it went, slowly but
surely, free memory dropped to 340k, at which point my system simply shut
down. I don't mean froze, I mean shut down as if someone had pressed and
held the power key. I understand that FSX may eat RAM, but it shouldn't
deplete my system to that extent..the numbers shouldn't continue to go down
after all is loaded. If that's the case, then it wouldn't matter whether I
had 100 GB of RAM, because at some point it would drop to the point of
shutting my system down regardless. I have considered adding some RAM, had
actually planned on doing that later today, but if there's a leak of some
kind, or if FSX is never pleased with the amount of RAM it has, if it will
consume it no matter what, then this won't help either. Any suggestions?
