Very high system RAM usage – "PEAKED OVER RETAIL BUDGET" message

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

Issue is self explanatory in the title. Not only is it high when the sim starts, but it seems to slowly creep up during the course of the flight.

I don’t know if this was logged along with the VRAM issue since I and some others have posted the issue there. But since that topic was more about VRAM. The 2024 dev updates also showed that the VRAM bug is on the way for SU2, but I don’t know if the system RAM will also be included with it. I’ll just post another thread regarding system RAM usage and reiterate some of the things I said there. Here’s my original reply on that thread:

Every time

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Run the sim. System ram shoots up.
  2. Do a flight (a slightly long flight). In my case I’ve used the Fenix A320 but any airliner would do. I haven’t tried it much with GA.

Open the sim
