Thank you for creating this sandpit, I've flown the first two Huey and one Apache missions, very good.

The Gazelle border patrol was an eye-opener for me, with two tours and nearly 7 years in West Berlin the only section of the wall that I saw was at the Brandenburg Gate.

The rest of the time I didn't even think about it.

Hello. I had DCS crashes due to insufficient memory when using this Sandbox, but after setting a 32 GB pagefile, the errors stopped.

This is common/normal behaviour due to how DCS and Windows interact if Windows is allowed to automatically manage virtual memory.

Hence this DCS recommendation :-

DCS crashes and doesn't work

Some IMPORTANT notes !

6. It's important to set the Windows page file to a system managed size or a custom size to 16 - 32 GB or more

32 GB (or equal to RAM):
A page file size equal to or slightly larger than your physical RAM is often recommended to avoid potential memory issues during DCS sessions, particularly when using high-fidelity aircraft and maps.

Fast drive:
The page file should be placed on a fast SSD to minimize access times and reduce performance bottlenecks.
