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
