| Trouble joining sessions | |
Jed Williams  25th Sep 2013 07:20:00 | Hello all.
I am hoping you can help me with an ongoing problem with joining the sessions displayed on this website. For a few, I can join with no problem. For the rest, whenever I try to join, they come up with an error message saying "Your computer has run out of available memory. Please restart flight simulator and select different graphics, scenery or traffic settings". Upon closing this box, FSX closes as well. I have changed all the required settings multiple times, to no avail. Could anyone help me with this? I badly want to be able to access all the sessions for full enjoyment. Thanks, Jed |
Dave Wave  25th Sep 2013 08:39:56 | I guess that you have a bad add on plane on your machine that is being substituted and causing your PC to run our of resources.
Try moving your add on planes into a temp directory and see if that fixes it. |
| Jed Williams 25th Sep 2013 08:44:27 | Thanks for the quick reply.
I will try moving all of my addon planes to a temporary folder as you advise. Will inform how I get on. Thanks, Jed |
| Jed Williams 25th Sep 2013 09:19:50 | On removing all flyable addon Aircraft, I am still having the same problem.
I am now trying with the AI Traffic. I forgot to mention before that every now and again I can join them (that is the Europe session that I always try), but only for a limited time. Also, this is also happening on my other computer. Thanks, Jed |
| Jed Williams 25th Sep 2013 09:21:12 | Ok, that has not worked either.
Should I try the repaints? Thanks. |
| Jed Williams 26th Sep 2013 01:21:09 | Does anyone else have any suggestions for what I could do to fix this problem?
Thanks in advance, Jed |
Chris Pringle   29th Sep 2013 10:25:05 | Hi Jed i used to have the same problem in areas such as Kennedy Intl and would get the same error message. I tried tweaking my graphics but no luck. I then used a website called Venetubo. www.venetubo.com/fsx.htm. This will assess your computers compatibility with fsx and will create a new cfg file. You can use this link on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CQe14NHsck for a better idea as to how to use it. It will change your setting to how it should be run. I havent had a problem since. Need any more help just let me know. |
| Jed Williams 30th Sep 2013 07:12:46 | Thanks Chris, will look at that website and see if it helps.
Many thanks, Jed |
Tony Koskinen 6th Oct 2013 18:42:05 | I had the exact same issue with my low-end Laptop.
All I did was add the following line under [Graphics] to my FSX.CFG HIGHMEMFIX=1 By Default FSX only allocates 512 MB of RAM to the game. By Adding this line it will allocate max. 4 GB depending on how much available RAM your computer has. I guess the Venetubo tweak would also add that, but I recommend to try this first, and if it still doesn't work then use the website. |
| Jed Williams 7th Oct 2013 21:37:47 | Thanks Toby, will do.

| Jed Williams 7th Oct 2013 21:40:43 | Is the fsx.cfg located in the main fsx folder?
Thanks, Jed |
Curley Campbell 7th Oct 2013 22:14:35 | Normal location for the FSX.Cfg...is... C:/Users/your nick/appdata/roaming/microsoft/FSX
IF, you do not see the appdata folder... you will need to return to your windows control panel... select FOLDER OPTIONS... from the box that opens.. select VIEW... here (about 6 down).. you will see "hidden files and folders". Check the box that says "show hidden files,folders.and drives." |
| Chris Pringle 8th Oct 2013 06:20:30 | Just search %AppData%\Microsoft\FSX\fsx.cfg |
| Jed Williams 8th Oct 2013 06:28:01 | Thanks Chris, but I already found it thanks to curly.
Trouble is, after inserting that line after the GRAPHICS heading in both the cfg. and the readme version the problem is still coming up. |
| Jed Williams 8th Oct 2013 06:28:35 | Which one is it meant to go under?
Thanks Jed |
| Curley Campbell 8th Oct 2013 15:07:40 | You stated you put that in the Graphics and "in both the cfg and the readme version ??? Not sure what you are saying here... it only goes one place... in the [Graphics] section of your FSX.CFG file.
Did you use the tool at http://www.venetubo.com/fsx.html ?? This automatically inserts that line... along with some other fixes. IF so... then need more info... can you pls post your system specs. (desktop/laptop, O/S, CPU type/speed, type of Graphic card, amount of ram, etc) |
| Jed Williams 8th Oct 2013 20:46:02 | what I meant was that there is also a readme version of the fsx.cfg there, does it go in that too?
Thanks Jed |
| Curley Campbell 8th Oct 2013 22:47:41 | No... as I stated, it goes in the fsx.cfg only. I highly recommend running the "Tweaking and Tuning tool for (FSX SP2/Accel - ESP/Prepar3D)" ... which is the link that has been posted twice. Again, this will add the line and fix some other things.

| Chris Pringle 9th Oct 2013 09:55:22 | Honestly Jed just use venutubo which me and curley are suggesting. It is so simple and only takes a couple minutes of your time. If you didnt understand the youtube video i will make one so that we can solve the problem. |
| Jed Williams 11th Oct 2013 11:31:00 | Yeah thanks, will do hopefully soon.
One more question - do I have to be on the computer with the problem when I go onto venetubo? or can I be on another comp and state my specs etc? Thanks |
| Curley Campbell 11th Oct 2013 12:52:49 | It creates a new FSX.cfg for the computer you are ON. |
