Just complete 1-1/2 hour continuation of the above trip from KSPW to KRST (Spencer IA to Rochester MN). Memory footprint at end of trip was 523 MiB this time. Only difference was that first flight above (from KSUX to KSPW) was at 3500 ft MSL, this last flight at 5500 ft MSL. Same features, same plane, same weather conditions, essentially same terrain. Dont understand the big RAM usage difference. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
