Real World Weather

[Dash8captain]

Hi people - when I go to do a flight I cant use real world weather when I select this option it comes up with a message saying

''Your computer has run out of available memory, please restart Flight simulator and select different graphics, scenery, or traffic settings''

So i tried this - i turned everythibng right to the minimum but it still came up with the same message, the computer seems to run FSX fine most of the time i'm getting 30-40FPS I just cant use real world weather - i cant see how it could run out of memory - it has 4GB of RAM

Please help

Cheers

Terry

Cheers

Increase you pagefile to at least 8gig, make sure it a set size adn not managed by windows.

Terry , If your running a powerful weather program - FSX is a system resource muncher , CPU for starters , a good hi end graphic card and even ramp up your RAM to 8GB - lack of these would be the source of your problems directly .

[Dash8captain]

I dont have any weather addons my only addons are Real NZ, VLC, Majestic Dash 8, Flight 1 ATR, PMDG Beech1900

Also what is pagefile? and how do you adjust it?

A pagefile will show you the specs of your PC , your problem dose sound like a lack of memory , have you tried the Trike and see if the real world weather works , your aircraft addons maybe outstretching the systems resource .

[Dash8captain]

Yes I tried the trike with the lowest graphics settings and everything else down to the lowest, how do I adjust the pagefile though?

[Ian Warren]

This is simply done through your properties but realistic you need to increase your PCs via hardware , if you can show the specs it shed some light , running out of memory in flightsim is normally that very problem , ...... Thought - can you run very dramatic default weather themes ?

You have to remember , 4GB of ram is the near minimum even to run your operating system !

These are my PC specs:

Windows XP
AMD Athlon II X2 240 Processor 3.0 GHZ
4.00GB of RAM
Geforce 9800GT 1GB of Memory

Just going back to this I now have FSX reinstalled but it still wont do Real world weather - it still says its run out of memory I am at the maximum amount of RAM I can have I'm just wondering once I'v got my New Corsair PSU installed real world weather will work?

[Dash8captain]

Anyone?

Aside from the weather, how is the sim running for you?
Have you got it set up correctly.
Here is a guide which I found very helpful.

Especially the slider settings partway through the page.

Yeah aside from the weather the only other issue is changing views it stutters a bit when changing, otherwise I am getting 50+ FPS!

[ZKIWI]

What program are you trying to load the real world weather through? Just the FSX Jeppersen weather or using Squawkbox or FSInn or some other program?

It does sound as if you are running out of resources. What are your full system specs? CPU, RAM, HDD, Graphics Card etc.

Have you tried Googling the error message and see if there is anything out there that explains/corrects the issue? Try this link.

I would be checking out the paging file section of the link that ZKIWI gave you and if that fails then start checking what other applications and/or processes are running at the same time.

I've known people to set their page file to a smaller size as they think it improves the performance of their computer but this usually causes problems later on when they run out of RAM space.

Are you loading the weather from within Flightsim or using another program? ( i.e. set to real work or to user in the weather menu of FSX).

I suspect it is probably your pagefile being corrupt but with only a 300w PS i think your system may be pushing the limits of that power supply.

I have been loading it from the sim

Have a look at this link which advises about the pagefile in Windows xp

If you think that your Sim is the Bees-knees running at 50+ FPS....

..but stutters badly at various locations, I would strongly recommend that you "Lock" your Frame rates to 20-25 FPS maximum, to achieve overall; "smoothness"...

Anything more (Unlimited) is just a waste of computer resources!

Frame Rates locked at 20 FPS is a sensible requirement for Pilots in Multiplayer Sessions....for obvious reasons!

Paul....FS 2004....and Smooth... ...!
