Not sure if that is the problem, but I am guessing you would have it configured to load all the maps and terrain for all regions into ram. You can tell it to only read map and terrain data as needed from disk. It may slow down the simulation though specially when flying across multiple regions. If you are only flying in one region (eg Australia region) it's fine. Its a while since I have used it though. Daniel. On 02/05/15 22:07, Russell Coker wrote:
I just installed flightgear on a AMD64 system running Debian/Jessie. I ran it but before it did anything it took 13G of VM and 7G of resident (on a system with 8G of RAM) and the system swapped to death.
Is there any way of setting it to use less RAM BEFORE it even gives it's main menu? Are there good options to the fgfs program to make it use less memory?
