VHHX Out of Memory Error Message

[Trailboss]

I went through all the postings in this section but didn't find anyone else reporting my problm. I have been using the FlyTampa VHHX wihtout any problems for several years on my old computer. The old single core computer just died and I have had to install all my FSX stuff on a new computer, including FlyTampa VHHX. I took the first flight out yesterday on a flight plan to Hanoi, but 20 minutes into the flight the screen froze and a message popped up sayng I was out of memory and would have to reduce the video settings. I reset the sliders lower (none of them was more than 50% and most were around 20%) and tried again, same freeze and message at around 20 minutes. After 3 unsuccessful flights I tried a flight plan to Taipei, same result at the 20 minute mark.
Here are my computer specs:
Dell XPS 8300
Intel Core i7-2600 processor (8MB Cache, 3.4Ghz)
NVIDIA GeForce GT 545 1GB GDDR5
8GB DDR3 RAM
500GB hard drive less than 15% used
I turned on Resource Monitor and watched during a 3rd attempted flight and RAM usage never went above 20%. I have flown the same aircraft out of other airports with same weather and time of day settings without any problems, VHHX is the only airport where I experience the freezes.
Did I miss some setting during installation or can anyone else suggest what's causing these errors?

This is Trailboss again, I forgot to write that I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit.

Sorry, I'm back again trying to get my act together. I forgot to include that I'm running FSX with Acceleration. Could there be a conflict with Acceleration?

Depends on what else you have installed and what is running in the background.

Hi Skydvdan,
Thanks for the response. Nothing else is running according to the resource monitor, only FSX.

Have you installed the HongKong 1.1 patch?
Found here....

Hi GeorgeFlyTampa,

Do you mean this one:

FlyTampa-HongKong FS2004 Update to 1.1 (1 MB self installer) July 2008
Updates Hong Kong to 1.1. Includes memory leak fix, Afcad, AI-Ships, lighting fixes and other improvements.

I believe that is only for FS2004, correct? So, no, I haven't installed it.

After additional testing I do not think FlyTampa VHHX is causing the OOM errors. I tested by removing FT VHHX, then selecting a simple aircraft, a default Cessna 172, and placing it at various airports around the world. After checking out airports in US, Europe, Middle East and Australia with no problems, I found that by placing the 172 at any airport in China, Vietnam, Korea or Taiwan I received the OOM error and CTD the moment I clicked Fly Now and the load progress bar hit 100%. Also, if I flight planned from VHHH (yes, it's part of China but for some reason VHHH, Macau and VHHX loaded correctly) for example, to Hanoi, I could start the flight but about 20 minutes into the flight the OOM and CTD occurred.
I ran repairs on both FSX and Acceleration, but no joy.

My theory is that the FSX/Accel install disk, one or the other, is defective. I welcome anyone's comments, but understand that since FlyTampa is no longer involved, I'm on my own.

It could be a bad flightplan or AI aircraft livery. I've heard of those causing crashing.
Try it without AI.

Hi George[FlyTampa],
You were on the right track with your comments about AI aircraft. After hours of frustration I looked in the Addon Scenery/scenery file and found that after I installed FlyTampa VHHX I then installed a file that was supposed to direct AI traffic to VHHX. When I removed FT VHHX I didn't remove that scenery file and that was causing all the problems.
Problem solved and thanks for your continued assistance!
