FSX SETTINGS AND MEMORY USAGE
Our scenery is optimized for smooth flying (FPS), but apart from that, there also is the element of memory
usage. FSX is notorious when it comes to addressing memory, so it is important to be able to correctly set
up your FSX settings to avoid OOM (out of memory) errors when flying in heavy add-on aircraft in the
vicinity of heavy add-on sceneries.
Here, we provide you with our optimized scenery settings for Thessaloniki X to avoid reaching the memory
load limits in FSX, specifically when operating heavy jets (e.g. NGX). In most, if not all, other cases you
should be able to easily apply the settings in the previous chapter without problems.
3D grass is also a memory ‘hungry’ feature which can be disabled from the scenery manager (see below)
AI traffic settings can also be adjusted to help reduce memory load (depending on AI traffic add-on)
A very comprehensive guide on all issues regarding OOM errors in FSX can be found here:
