RAM Quantity and Usage in MSFS

To quote myself from another thread:

DensestSnail693:

Oh btw despite the dev frame counter telling me I was only using 4 GB’s of ram HWMonitor informed me of 67% usage (of my 16GB) while in 1080p (all ultra) and that was just a simple VFR flight between Mauritius and Reunion in the Indian ocean in the JF Arrow III, likewise my Vram use was over 4GB. So this means you can bet your life that 32GB ram will not be not wasted in 4K as some simmers seem to think because 16GB will be very borderline for more complicated aircraft, IFR and fightplanning etc. However I will add that unless there are huge massive changes to the sim more than 32GB is never going to be needed regardless of how many monitors you set up etc. … that’s unless you are simming in a huge multiplayer flock at the largest airports and even then I have my doubts.

It would appear to me that since SU5 the dev fps counter itself is in need of an update.
