Exploring the world in the Beechcraft Bonanza

Leg 302, Lesesne, Berkeley County, South Carolina to Peachtree City, Georgia, USA

I got 5 hours in before Claudette hit. The game was struggling (for other reasons) and with no visibility coming in soon there was no point trying to fix the tree issues. It was the runaway memory bug again, induced by the heavily forested PG area which get covered over with auto gen trees. A lethal combination for my system, triggering the slow downward spiral to sub 5 fps while memory usage climbs up over 30GB ram in use.

Landing at 2 to 5 fps is not fun, I should have restarted the game 3 stops ago. But since it looks like visibility will be gone any moment now, I’ll go enjoy the sunny weather up in Canada

Tomorrow more of Georgia, some of Alabama and heading to the Gulf of Mexico.
