inktomi Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 This has been determined to NOT be a problem with the CRJHello -I was going through your tutorial flight (great job writing it, by the way!) - decending towards CENTA passing through FL160 at -2.4 and got this message. I hit "Understood" but nothing happened.

woweezowee Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 you ran out of memory, your general settings are too high to run such a scenery. happens a lot for me, too, as long as xplane stays 32bit.my rant:http://forums.x-pilot.com/index.php?topic=1747.0:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inktomi Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Ill try setting the scenery lower and flying around the area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipp Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Yup, logfile shows clearly it doesn't crash in a CRJ routine, but in some X-Plane scenery drawing stuff.Seems you are unable to run both CRJ and Valencia scenery on your computer, as they both need quite a lot of memory for the high resolution textures.Going with either one you should be fine.Note: Javier, we must mention this in the manual.Philipp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inktomi Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 That was spot on.. with lower scenery rendering I'm able to fly around just fine. Too bad I can't max it all out =p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Japo32 Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Going with either one you should be fine.Note: Javier, we must mention this in the manual.Philippyes.. you are right... one more thing to make it better... This problem remembers me that CTD when I was flying fs9. The same!! WE are very close to FSX right now.. on the goods and bads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokepacha Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Acording to your log, I think the problem is your opensceneryX installation. All those missing textures are OpensceneryX textures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inktomi Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Hmm, when I run the installer it says all is well with the opensceneryx install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpny Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 XMapped out of memory errors mean that X-Plane has run out of RAM. It is not directly a a GPU problem, but an issue with OpenGL, which keeps a copy of every texture in the application's memory space. If you run with high texture settings, a complex plane and lots of custom scenery, you can exceed 3GB of RAM, which is what X-Plane can access under Windows as a 32-bit program.Turn down your texture settings.

bokepacha Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Hmm, when I run the installer it says all is well with the opensceneryx install.Checking again I can tell you something:Avoid using the "valencia 3D" scenery. It's still a non cleaned version and it puts a lot of work into the GPU and you'll need that GPU power for the rest of x-plane.I'll check that valencia3D scenery later this week if I find some time to spare but as far as I remember, I don't have so many errors in my x-plane copy.

woweezowee Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Steven, dpny also got correct. "Xmapped file ran out of memory" is exactly that: too much stress on the 32-bit system, because it can only adress 3gig. reply#8 refered to my post (#5)P.S.: and that scenery stuff is "not nice", too, but the problem will occur with perfect sceneries, too.karma down is not nice for giving a precise information - but what the heck, do whatever you feel like.P.P.S. @Phillip (next post): That was my intention two posts above.

philipp Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Could you PLEASE refrain from fighting over this. We can conclude it is NOT a CRJ issue but a limitation of BOTH X-Plane being 32bit AND the scenery having some kind of fault.Nothing to be discussed in the CRJ forum.Philipp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inktomi Posted May 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 Sorry if this derails this thread..could anyone give me a link to a good "how to clean up bad scenery" type document? I don't mind doing the work, but I'd like to know what I'm getting myself into.. I've never done any work on XP scenery.(I deleted OpenSceneryX and am reinstalling it as I type) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philipp Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 It seems Steven has at least some experience in this.Steven, would you mind writing up your knowledge how to find these errors in a more detailed posting, that we can pin sticky in another forum? It has nothing to do with the CRJ, but it is nevertheless important. So if Steven wants to share this knowledge, we will be glad to put this up in the General forum or wherever it fits.Philipp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

signmanbob Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Your computer seems to be close to what mine is. My computer man sent these instructions to me and I haven't had any problems since I followed them.Maybe it will help you also."One thing I have noticed is that your computer is only using 6.69GB of the 12GB or RAM available. The rest is being cached. While this is not usually a problem, it COULD be causing FSX to crash. Try disabling superfetch (the caching service) and see if you can make it break. Here’s a quick little guide on how to disable it:Load the Services window by typing "services.msc" (without quotes) in Start Search. Once open, locate the SuperFetch key.Now double-click the SuperFetch key and it will open the Properties dialog window. Here you can Disable it by changing the dropdown to Disabled. There is another interesting option called Automatic(Delayed Start), this will start superfetching after quite some time during startup. To stop superfetching immediately, hit the Stop button."

woweezowee Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Since it's not a pure CRJ related thread but one about a common error in xplane, you could just move this whole thread out of the CRJ subforums. ?!for the fun of it checked my log.txt. quite some scenery errors; but I wouldn't know where to get started my experience: built one own scenery, converted and edited lots of MSFS stuff. So if there's a thread and I can be of help - sure I will, too.xLog.txt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
