Since I am new to FightGear & just started to build head cvs (OSG) I thought I would check FG's memory footprint while running. This check is not exactly definitive but its interesting.
Im running Fedora Core 6 with 1 Gig of RAM. My cpu is a core-duo (E6600). On a flight in the c172p from Seattle to Portland (~1-1/2 hrs) I find the following RAM memory footprint for fgfs: Seattle on runway 276 MiB 5 min in flight 293 MiB 30 min in flight 315 MiB 60 min in flight 369 MiB 75 min in flight 393 MiB 90 min in flight 471 MiB land in Portland 568 MiB The "eye candy" I was using is as follows: --disable-clouds3d --enable-distance-attenuation --shading-smooth --enable-skyblend --fog-nicest --enable-enhanced-lighting I am surprised at the memory creep. I know that at about 750 MiB FG & my system becomes unresponsive & my system begins to swap to disk. Does this mean that I will get about 2 hours max flight time?? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
