P51 V5 Memory problems.

Post by percy »

I watch my memory climb to over 20 gigs about 76% of 32 gigs available Three times as memory was at this level p3d would stop working. Default P38 runs for ever with memory about 4 gigs and not increasing.
When I had v4 P51 installed it worked fine with no consistence stop working message from P3d.

Eliminated windshield.dll and all is ok now. Memory holds about 4 gigs and does not climb.

Hello,

are you all updated with the correct P-51 for v5 and not a prior version?

thanks,

I just checked the file size of the one I installed ( V5) and downloaded v5 again and file size is the same. I show a different file size for V4
Latter I will install again and see what happens.

I installed a new downloaded V5 P51 and with one monitor it still increases but very slowly. When I have all my monitors in use, 3 4k for outside and two inside cockpit the memory increases at a much faster rate. I started out with 20% of memory used now after 15 min i have 40 % of memory used. when memory reaches about 70% usage P3D goes to slide show and stops working....I am sitting on ramp not flying as memory increases. with other aircraft works ok. I am only using P51 of a2a. Any way thats what is happening to me Ill use it with out windowshild.dll. Now memory is at 55% 15gigs of 32.

Hello,

When you install did the updater run for you?

You don't need to download every time, under your Windows > Start Menu is the manual, aircraft config and updater.

Hi Percy,

Yes, please double check that you have the latest version of the WIndshield.dll. If so, it will have the file version number 20.5.0.10.

Also, are you using default weather to generate the rain, or ActiveSky?

Thanks,
Nick

Good morning...I am using default wx and checked and have lattes updates with version #20.5.0.10. I flew a flight this am with windshield disabled and all went ok. enabled windshield.dll and just sitting on ramp a KIDA still had memory problems. I guess no one else is having this issue, I have my own cockpit with my own windshield so I do not need the rain effect I am fine disabled. Just setting on ramp at kida no eng running no extra wx and just passed 15 gigs of memory.
I do not know what it is I guess something in my system with windshield enabled causing it. I am ok without it.

Percy
