Hey guys,
maybe another source of error to talk about.
I've experienced the same symptoms and problems with CTD and especially the problem of "FS9 is running out of memory and will therefore be closed" (or similar).
I recognized the problem after the install of Ultimate Terrain Europe. Due to this i decided to uninstall the mesh again. Sadly the problem didn't disappear.
Within the next few weeks I have tried to work with the O&O Defrag, reboots, closing unnecessary processes, ...
Sometimes FS9 made it possible to land and send the PIREPs, but most of the time I ended up with a crash when I was about to turn the heading knob to the ILS intercept course.
The result of some research on the internet is:
The problem with running out of memory is based on errors in scenery and landclass related folders / configs. I've downloaded the Flight Sim Manager 2.8.5 from avsim (look for fsm285.zip) and ran the diagnostics tool. The one source of error (empty landclass folders) was terminated by checking them manually and with the tool. The check of the sceneries with the help of FSM came up with 26 (!) errors in my scenery.cfg ...
A lot of errors with cities ... (maybe based on UT Europe Install and uninstall), and an index-leak resulting in a memory leak upon allocation of RAM.
Fixed the problems now and will start a test flight TNCM-EHAM tonight.
As many virtual pilots are concerned with the same type of problem and solution, I'm very optimistic
Maybe this helps some of you when experiencing troubles with crashes on approach !
It is stated in countless forums that CTDs and Memory Leaks are based on errors in scenery and landclass
best regards,
Mario
