Stukai Posted January 9, 2022 Report Posted January 9, 2022 Hello, I've a mid 2017 iMac with 40GB RAM (upgraded). The Aircraft runs very smoothly. However, when flying this plane, I have the issue, that the RAM usage is slowly increasing. It starts so swap out out to virtual RAM until at some point about 320 GB of memory is reached. Then X-Plane doesn't hang up, but runs very very slowly (approx 1 fame every 2-4 seconds?) and MacOS requests to quit X-Plane... This happens after around 30 minutes. I do not have this problem with other aircraft... Is this a bug or something with my configuration? Thank you very much! Quote
Stukai Posted January 9, 2022 Author Report Posted January 9, 2022 It seems that it was an issue with the weather... Now running a 4th test with standard weather and all seems to be fine. RAM usage by X-Plane stays around 8 GB and I'm over 30 minutes... Quote
Rodeo Posted January 10, 2022 Report Posted January 10, 2022 Are you using a weather addon of some kind? Quote
Stukai Posted January 10, 2022 Author Report Posted January 10, 2022 (edited) Yes, Skymaxx Pro v5 to display the clouds, but I'm using the X-Plane real time weather. I believe now that it must have been something with real time weather or rather the display of it, as it happened 3 times in a row and at the 4th time with a weather preset of X-Plane (same route) everything was ok. I can try again with real time weather later, as now the weather is different. As I remember, it was stormy when RAM issue occurred. Edited January 10, 2022 by Stukai Quote
Rodeo Posted January 11, 2022 Report Posted January 11, 2022 I doesn't look at all like the Challenger was the cause of the issue, but I'm quite curious to get to the bottom of this regardless. Have you tried manually setting stormy weather? Quote
Stukai Posted January 11, 2022 Author Report Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) Yes. Not Challenger affected. I did a flight with realtime weather again - it was overcast and later broken - all good. I can test to set stormy weather manually tomorrow! Edited January 11, 2022 by Stukai Quote
Stukai Posted January 12, 2022 Author Report Posted January 12, 2022 I did a test flight in the stormy weather preset - no RAM issue... I don't know what might have been the issue in the first three flights. But I'm happy that the Challenger runs well now! Quote
