Hi Pete, thanks for your reply! I have the 4.90 version from May 5th 2013. I don't say, that FSUIPC causes the crash. It started after the update, so thought about what did I change and only FSUIPC came in my mind. I inserted 12 GB Ram now to see if it works. If not, I try to eliminate scenery. I assume that maybe Flightbeam KIAD can be a part of it. I just asked you, because maybe you heard about these OOM issues before. I couldn't find anything about in the net. Thanks anyway! Regards, Steffen

Pete, I updated FSUIPC as needed in May. After I did that, I have OOM issues in FSX. Everything starts fine when starting FSX. Once I fly to an airport with more complex scenery like Flightbeam KIAD, I hear the warning sound of FSUIPC that I run out of memory. After about 7 to 8 minutes FSX closes with an OOM message. The thing is, before the update I had never problems. I could fly the whole day with complex scenery and 100% AI traffic and everything went fine without ever reloading FSX. I also tried to switch off AI traffic, but same problem. Firstly I thought it is a matter of time, the longer I fly the bigger the memory issue. But when I startup at for example at KIAD with Flightbeam scenery. I taxi to the runway and the OOM occurs after having run FSX for about 20 minutes. If I use default scenery, the OOM thing does not happen. Do you have any idea? I updated as it was described, but I must say, that I updated FSUIPC, not WideFS, but the FSUIPC screen in FSX looks right with FSUIPC enabled and registered, under the button Wide FS is "disable", so it is also activated and it works fine. I have 6 GB of Ram, an I7 core CPU 3.33 GHZ (4CPU's), Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit, Direct X 11., 2x Nvidia GeForce Gtx 460. I run FSX in windowed mode. Tried also to switch to fullscreen, but no difference. Thanks very much for help! Kind regards, Stefan

Hi Pete, I have a strange problem. After 3-4 hours of running FSX without any problems, I hear some warning message bell sound on my PC for about 10 minutes. Then a "You run out of available memory. FSX will shutdown" message appears with suggestions to free up memory by adjust graphic and/or traffic settings. I never had OOM problems before and it started right after updating the FSUIPC. I have 4 GB RAM and more than 32 GB of harddisk space. Any ideas? Thank you very much! Regards, Stefan

Ok, I tested it and you are right. Concorde has a different method to switch on the A/T on the overhead panel. I missed that. I could have saved time if I would have tested it with default aircraft! I learned something more! BTW, the reason why I said it would be perfect to have the A/T disconnected when having idle thrust (or more precisely when having the thrustlevers at idle- big difference!) relates to the Airbus. The Airbus has two different methods of disconneting A/T. First the disconnect buttons on the side of each thrustlever and when having the thrustlevers at idle for more than 1 second disconnects the A/T as well. This is quite different to Boeing, where you can move the levers and override the commanded angle. There it wouldn't make sense, I agree with you. But Airbus has no movable Thrustlever. They are in detents and pulling the levers idle is clearly the intention to disconnect A/T. Anyway, problem solved, I am happy. Thank you very much for your help and sorry for trouble! Regards, Stefan

Pete, I will check and will report on that. Stefan

Thanks for the reply. The programming "Autothrottle arm" for disconnecting the A/T works perfectly. It just toggles the switch on and off as I wish, but then another problem arises: In flight my autothrottle doen't work anymore. Even if I manually switch off the A/T button/switch, the thrust reverts to idle and does not follow my speed value set in the MCP/glareshield. For reference, this effect happens on the SSTSIM Concorde. I did not test other aircraft. Do you have a clue, why the autothrottle isn't working anymore? Stefan

He Pete, I try to program in FSUIPC 3.7 the Autothrottle disconnect on my yoke. I would like to assign a button for disconnecting the Autothrottle. But the only things I found in the menu for button assignment is: "Autothrottle arm" or "Autothrottle TO GA". Where can I find "Autothrottle disconnect"? Do I have to assign it otherwise? Or is it able to assign it through the axis programming? The perfect way would be, to pull my throttle idle and that would disconnect the autothrottle then. Any help would be much appreciated. I searched the forum for this, but couldn't get any topics to this thread. I read very often your hint, to "program the autothrottle disconnect", but i couldn't find how. For your info, I have disabled the FS joysticks completely and have programmed all axis and buttons via FSUIPC. Thanks in advance for your help! Regards, Stefan
