It does sound like you are hitting the limits of what you memory is happy with. It could also be voltage dependent. It’s also one of the reasons why the general advice is to remove any overclocks as part of an attempt to regain simulator stability.
For my crashes the vast majority have been down to some known issue, or at least heresay from many people. For me my crashes were predominantly GPS mod dependant. Turn off airway messages, and the problem goes away.
But it does leave a couple which as far as I am concerned are as yet unexplained.
If I fly the Arrow, and I have both the 530, and 750 mods active at the same time, even if the plane spawns with the 750 loaded, and I haven’t been shuffling through the GPS’s via the pad, the sim will most likely crash at some point. It’s not guaranteed, but it does happen enough for me to suspect it. The error messages in the event log seem unique also. If I ensure that only one of those mods are active then I don’t get crashes.
The other one, which Zendesk neatly closed down, and considered solved when I posted my workaround, was regarding crashes while on group flights with lots of other people flying a plane I did not have loaded. In that particular case the majority were flying the 152 backcountry modded plan. When I was anywhere near the pack, I got stuttering. When I landed at one stop, and taxied over to where the group was the sim crashed. It did this twice. On the second crash I downloaded the modded plane, and spawned in it. I had no stuttering, or crashes for the next two hours.
I think that last one seems to be a variant of the issue where planes you have minus a community livery caused a crash. In this case, it was a plane mod for a default aircraft. So in effect I had the 152 installed, but not the liveries the mod ships with. This was never acknowledged as an issue.
I think this is a unique scenario. If I fly with people that had a plane I haven’t bought it’s not an issue. But a modded plane, which appears as its own individual plane to be selected, plus its own liveries, is. An example of this might be a group flight of those with one of the GotGravel mods. If everyone was flying the Vertigo, but I didn’t have that mod installed, because I have the default aircraft installed on which the Vertigo is based, I would likely get the stuttering then crash. It only seems to occur when in the vicinity of a large number of them, though. Like errors are piling up in the SDK window, if you had it loaded, and you have no way of viewing or clearing them if you don’t.
