Can't fly on this map

[Lenux]

Tried again with exactly the same aircraft, Su27, Instant Action, Free Flight, different maps 

It's running absolutely amazing, no issues at all 

With Germany map, same aircraft, it's loading about 70-80 %  (sometimes it's loading and I can fly) and it's freezing somehow.

Just a shot in the dark after skimming your log, but perhaps bumping up your page file from 16GB to 32GB might help.

Bump your pagefile.  This is one part of the crash error:

2025-04-20 18:47:10.112 INFO    EDCORE (12968): 0x0000000000025b2b (edCore): ed::fatal_out_of_memory + 0x3B

Germany is very likely going to need more memory and you have your PRELOAD set to 150,000 so it's gobbling up massive amounts of RAM/Pagefile, so drop that to 40,000 or something more reasonable as well.

DCS is a different kind of load than other games, so saying other games work fine doesn't mean it's not a hardware issue.  DCS may stress a part that isn't used much in a different game.  And different maps are going to behave differently due to the fact they are coded differently.  And may have more detail that pushes your system as you're seeing here.

I'd let Windows auto-manage the page file.

Setting it manually maybe have a tiny advantage in DCS but is generally bad advice.

Windows is smarter in managing that file than any user.

Okay guys, I'll let the OS to manage the page file and I'll reduce the Preload to 60.000

I'll report back, thank you so much for your help

Based on experience here, IMHO you're wrong on that.  Setting a fixed pagefile has helped MANY users that were running out of memory.  Windows can't adjust it fast enough to keep up in DCS if you're on the margins for memory.  The one watchout is how full is your drive that your pagefile is on?  You need at least 10-15% free space AFTER you deduct the amount you're setting pagefile to or you're going to run into issues with it anyway (and Windows won't use it if you leave it to the system).

Right now I'm flying ( free flight) the Su27, game is paused, I'm writing from my phone. 

Question, very off topic, I don't want to finish / close /the flight now. 

I'm pressing Alt +Y to open my nVidia FPS counter. 

But the aircraft is slowing down, like 2-3 fps. 

I searched inside the Control Options for Su27, but I can't see any command Alt+Y (to disable it) 

Any ideas? 

Thank you 

LE, fixed it with the FPS counter 

60 fps, GPU 71 % CPU 26 % and LATENCY 0 ms

PRELOAD is 55.000

Page file, OS managed

LAlt + Y = Slow down time

LCtrl + Y = Fast forward time

LShift + Y = Default 1.0 x time

In the controls options it's actually written as LAlt + Z but I guess you're using a non-english keyboard like I do where the Y is right next to the X.

Thank you so much for your help, everyone 

So far, it looks great. I'll keep testing it. 

I'm trying now to find out how to turn off the warning sounds for Su27 and Su33 ( FC 3 ) and M2000C 

Where are the sound folders, now? 

Played with those file sounds, years ago, now everything looks different. 

Thank you, again.

This is great! And this is exactly the reason I asked for the log file, to see your settings. If you had posted it when asked for, you'd have saved yourself a lot of time and grief.
Cheers and happy skies!

There's a button to mute the RWR, if that's what you mean?

I'd like to do it right from the Sounds folder, but can't find it.

Same, with some audio sdef files

Sound folders are encrypted so you likely can't do a lot with it.

I've never looked at them, but I know ED encrypted at least a bunch of them due to piracy issues a number of years ago.

Okay, thanks a million, guys
