You cannot.  Good idea though!  You can run in Windowed mode though (uses more FPS/memory) and monitor it from the desktop.  I use a program called Advanced System Care and they have a way to monitor memory and cpu usage.  Sometimes when I start up fsx it is extremely slow loading and I'll see the cpu usage is 100%.  I'll do a ctrl-alt-del and go into the Task Manager and see an Internet Explorer tab didn't close properly (hard to believe Internet Explorer doesn't shut down properly... :rolleyes: ).  When I shut down all the Internet Explorer processes, cpu usage goes to 1% and fsx loads immediately.  The best way to monitor vas usage is to install FSUIPC and it will being to provide warning sounds that you are near to running out of memory.  So, tell your virtual passengers you have to go and shut something down and go into the Task Manager and shut down whatever is taking a lot of your resources.

 

Best regards,

Jim,

Thanks for your response. I have FSUIPC. I will try Advanced System Care . I also requested from Pete Dowson , if he can show VAS Usage numbers in FSX upper Bar.

Open the FSUIPC setup screen. Go to the "logging" tab, and in one of the "specific value checks" enter the value 024C (first character is zero, not the letter"O".

 

Change the "type" for that value from S8 to S32.

 

Click on the checkboxes to display the value either at the upper window bar, or within the main FSX screen.

 

Now save and exit. Going forward, you will have a continuously-updated readout in-game of free VAS remaining.

Yep easy to do and a VAS acounter on the window frame of FSX :-)

I learn something new everyday!  Thanks to those for answering the OP's question and for the tip.

Very good tip - can now keep away from the "memory grabber airports"

Nice one, Thanks.

No problem! Can't take credit for it though...I got it from someone else! I just passed on the knowledge!

Very cool.. Just for info, the number it displays is the available VAS remaining or something to that effect?

How cool is that!!  Thanks very much. Extremely useful. Everyone should implement this in FSX.

Another tip, is to use Bob Scott's Quantam Leap addon ( available in the Lib) and use the Vas counter, ideally suited for a client PC.

It's good approximation to the free VAS as returned by VAS Map application (VMMAp.exe).

Devin,

Wow.. That is excellent.Thank you very much. If I knew what those numbers mean I will be really happy.

Don't click on the "Hex" check box in FSUIPC.  It should be left blank.

 

The number is the actual amount of VAS being used by FSX.  In my case, I'm using 2.5G of VAS.
