ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Since su5 getting memory resources low warning, never had this in any previous build, in career mode it seemed to cause all the cockpit annunciator lights to illuminate and also ceased the usual mission call-outs to the passengers 737-max,a real performance worse than su4 that was the best build I’ve had since the start of the sim

You should provide more information, maybe screenshots from the FPS Window. Usually there is a reason for this warning message.

It’s Xbox there isn’t an fps window as far as I’m aware, also the sim seemed smooth enough (maybe not as good as SU4 and the distance rendering was pretty poor, but otherwise ok). I could post pics of all the lights illuminated but it’s pretty self explanatory, just to reiterate, the buttons an switches all continued working but the status lights meant nothing as they were illuminated regardless of status.

YES same Here on RTX5080 never had this issue before. In the release of SU5 there is a memory allocation problem! Also when using add-on airports the message is almost imminent! VRAM utilisation is up to 90% resulting in stutters and eventually a CTD.

Your issue is tied to this one: PS5 & Xbox: Memory management completely broken after SU5

For me e.g. the 737 is not playable anymore on ps5.

for me, all planes, specially inibuilds Airbus 3XX and L-1011 aren’t playable anymore on my xbox X.

I have a 5080 and only fly VR at approx 6k resolution at mostly third party airports and some with scenery add ons. I never get the memory low message. And flying overall is very smooth.

I can invoke the message by upping my sim settings and/or upping my headset resolution.

PG also caused problems, as does too aggressive tlod/olod settings.

I really think a good portion, not all, but a good portion of stuttering issues are caused by settings that are too aggressive.

Just my .02 based on my experience and a whole lot of experimentation with different settings and headset resolutions.

This is probably the 4th thread I’ve seen about a memory issue within the game, and I’m honestly frustrated that so many players are experiencing this. As a PS owner, I’ve also encountered this issue after the update, and I often have to restart the plane or even close the game and start over.

Does the bug also affect PCs? Houston, Microsoft have a problem…
