On the virtual memory error, first a note on that you are not alone: even the gods get struck by FSX sometimes. And then, for unknown reasons, it all is nice and fair again.

http://forum.mutleyshangar.com/index...memory-issues/

I have no own advise, I however ask this: is the OOM error coming only when approaching heavy airports that are very busy, or in places with complex scenery, or do you get it just anywhere? In general I would test and see whether a place where you had an OOM gives you still problems again when you have toned down the sliders in the menu. You have much hardware reserves, but maybe they are ill-configured in some way.

just found - for example - these:

Especially check your page file setting, set it to "system managed", and if that not helps, try a very large setting, and then a smaller one. My suspicion is that somehow your textures being moved between HD and RAM may cause your problem. Or there is a some bottleneck between HD and system.

And you are certain, really, that you are using a 64 Bit Windows, yes? 32 Bit cannot handle more than 3.7 GB in FS - and for even that the simulator must be given special tweaks.

I could also imagine that maybe your HD has gotten too full. Is it?

Now check this, from posting #10 on, the last one on the first page, and then the second:

Then listen in here and try if something is valid for you:

Finally, charts. This site is giving the basics for flight simulator purposes, you enter the ICAO code (KLAX for example, and get a basic diagram, which is unrealistic and has nothing to do with the Jeppesens, but lists all the numbers you need).

http://www.fscharts.com/

There is plenty of stuff. Use Google with "Airport Chart" or "Airport Chart KLAX", and get overwhelmed.

Hope you get that OOM bugger fixed. Would be a shame when it stays that way. However, one thing you should not forget: the issue is extremely difficult to diagnose, but is absolutely available to solution. Many people like myself have had the issue, and have come beyond it, even if we never really knew what happened why. But possible that you need to dig deep for the solution.

Good luck!
