Aerosoft Heathrow
Oliver Parkes
I have found however a constant annoyance. Everytime without fail I come into land at London Heathrow, FS2004 always crashes, coming up with a notice saying something about running out of available memory.
I did have UK2000 Heathrow Pro but recently replaced it with Simwings updated Heathrow, but the same thing still happens. I also have UK2000 Gatwick Pro, London City, Luton and Stanstead. The same problem does occasionally happen also happen with Gatwick.
Traffic is set at 90% with no GA. I use Ground Environment Professional with ASv6.5 Weather. I have no scenery upgrade of London, just regular FS Global - Special Edition. I have most major airport upgrades from all different companies such as Aerosoft, Simwings, FSDT, Dream Factory, Imagine Simulation etc etc, and do not have any similar problems landing at any other airport around the world other than at Heathrow.
I doubled my memory from 4GB to 8GB earlier this year hoping this would solve this problem but it hasn't. All other PC specs are more than capable - as mentioned I have perfect landings at all other airports in any weather condition.
My display settings are set at reasonable standards (not at maximum) which give me good all round smooth flying with excellent graphics. It is only flying over London towards Heathrow where I start to get stuttering and then the error message.
It's worthwhile reading the whole thread - we're all learning.
I too have quite a bit of AS scenery and though they can be a bit heavy on the frames if I'm trying to go overboard with my settings, I do not, and cannot remember having suffered memory leakage caused by AS sceneries.
I ran the suggested process whilst running a flight from Dubai to Heathrow. It reported many errors of files it could not find, but the majority of these can be ignored (although still worrying why such files are missing!!).
Anyway, there were 2 major errors which kept appearing. The first was an effects file which I managed to locate elsewhere, download and re-insert, so problem solved. The other error appeared to be with a third party add-on I have from FS Quality called "All Roads of Europe". It kept reporting that it could not find the majority of the bmp files. I therefore removed this programme and hence FS9 did seem to run better with a lot less stuttering over heavily populated areas such as London.
This used to happen to me. I couldn't solve the problem until I formatted my computer and erased fs2004. I re-installed fs2004 again and re-installed all the planes I had and that error hasn't appeared since.
Well after several tests it hasn't solved the problem. Completing short flights (say 1 - 1.5 hours) does not cause a problem. However, I tried a flight from Ben Gurion Tel Aviv to London Heathrow (approx. 5 hours) and although the fps was better and I landed without bad stuttering, FS9 crashed once I started to taxi to stand.
I think the only option is to say that whenever I have long flights arriving at Heathrow, it will be best to save the flight 30 minutes before landing, exit FS9, defragment the hard drive, restart and then load up FS9 again so that I can continue to land without any problems.

Hi a lil bored so i thought i'd do this:I was watching the news the other day and saw about the two planes hit each other's wings.it was a British Airways Boeing 747 to Singapore and a Sri Lankan Airlines Airbus A340.
I'm flying the Cessna 172 in FS2004. Whenever I try to keep a constant heading, there will be frequent slight changes in the heading that require a 1-2 degree bank for correction every 10 seconds, sometimes even less than that. That's very annoying. I...
May i ask you for a picture from google earth showing 2 planes using both runways at EGLL (heathrow) as ive made a bet with my science teacher, him saying that they only use 1 runnway for takeoff and landings.Thanks guys! ?...
