Hi Will,
yes, I've been having the same sort of problems. Initially I
only had 2GB ram but I added another 2GB but the problems persisted.
I've made a few tweaks and have successfully made a couple of 2-hour
flights in different locations as well as some short test hops in
the NYC area, where I was getting the spikes on the runway at
KLGA. I wish I could determine exactly what I tweaked but I've
not had a problem for a couple of days now.
I'm running a Q6600 at 3.1GHZ with a eVGA 8800GTS 640MB video
card, overclocked 32%. WinXP Pro and FSX-Accell\SP2.
I may have moved a couple of sliders a notch to the left as I
had most of them maxed out or close to it.
OK....just looked....I moved the "Mesh resolution" to 2M
and the "Texture resolution" to 30 CM. These were maxed before.
I have "water effects" at Low 2.x, "level of detail radius" large,
"Mesh complexity" at 87, "Scenery complexity" Extremely dense,
"Autogen density" Very dense and "Special effects detail" High.
