Dealing with memory saturation in MS Flight Sim 2024?
Every time I flew low over downtown New York, my frame rate would tank from 40 FPS down to a miserable 12 FPS, which was honestly anxiety-inducing. The low frequency of the Kingston 16GB DDR4 2666 just couldn't keep up with the massive terrain data in the 2024 version, forcing the system to swap data between RAM and the SSD constantly. I tried turning on Windows Game Mode, but that was a joke—it didn't help the lag and actually pushed my CPU usage up by 10%. After that frustration, I manually set a fixed virtual memory range between 32GB and 48GB and used a priority tool to set the process to 'Realtime'. Monitoring via RivaTuner showed the frame times finally settling into a smooth 25-32ms window, and the screen tearing almost disappeared. I did notice the system took about 5 seconds longer to boot after messing with the page file, but disabling Fast Startup fixed that. Memory usage now sits between 14.2-15.8GB at 42-48℃. The input response is finally snappy and follows my movements perfectly.
