    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

SSW F84-F Thunderstreak ("The Hog") ready for the sky.

Quite surprising. SSW planes are the most stable planes in my computer. I never suffered OOM problems here, and I have more than a thousand hours flying time with them, most with the G-zipper. Maybe it can be related with other addons?



There's no VAS problems with the F-104G. I talked about the F-84F and Tornado.

I have F84 and Tornado too. In fact we flew a couple of days ago a COMAO vs agressors, with 20 pilots most of them Tornado. Any problem at all

It is true that both planes are high RAM demanding models, however they can be used safely provided that you don't overhelm the VAS ( Virtual address space) with a lot of other addons such as Rex HD, heavy ORBX settings and so on

Most of VAS is consumed by texturesm that are static. Once loaded they don't grow nor shrink into the VAS. You are telling that your OOM is after a while. Model and Dlls also consume dinamically but really few. Other addons as weather programs or ORBX are really using VAS dinamically, making a bog toss.

I attach some pictures showing how much VAS Tornado and F84 are consuming, both in solo model, the heaviest load. ubunto models are about 200 mb less

ORBX installed, photorreal textures, 2 m/pix, airports ar 1mt/pix, pictures at runway threshold
