Just saw that Milviz released the DHC3 Otter, it would be a welcome addition to RTMM, IMHO
-
Has anyone tried this yet?

I'm still trying to master the milviz beaver; only recently learned you havge to apply carb heat this time of year or the engine sputters - thought my sound card was acting up. :P

There's nothing worse than having your sound card ice up.

I wished myself a early Merry Christmas. What I've found you have to be way ahead of the plane, it does not turn on a dime so setting up approaches or landings takes more fore thought. The auto pilot takes a little mastering as well, for some reason it shut itself off indiscriminately , not sure what's with that. More reading the manual. The thing that has me scratching my head is I've flown in and out of PF20 and PAKT and some of the other sceneries with no problem, but when I go into Hollis HYL I will get a you have run out of available memory and CTD, so far that's the only one I've found, I flew it all the way from PAKT to Halibut Bay and no problem so not sure what the problem is there. Tomorrow will trying flying into PANC or KSEA and see what happens, I'm still flying FSX on Win 7 and have 8 megs of RAM, so open to suggestions, HYL is one of my places I live to visit.

Took two flights in the past couple of days, 1st one from KPDX to KSEA, just to see if I could run out of memory. FPS stayed between 20 to 30 and no memory problems. 2nd flight flew from PAVD up to pipeline to PAGK to PANC, same thing and no running out of memory. Tomorrow I'm going to fly from PAKT to HYL and see what happens

Interestingly, I have just reinstalled Misty Moorings after a prolonged absence, and have found over the past few days I am getting OOM errors - but only when using the MilViz Beaver (haven't tested the Otter yet). Same routes , day, weather etc. in other aircraft don't give me any OOM issues.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Yup. It's the MV Beaver. I don't have the Otter, but the Beaver is pretty weighty in terms of computer performance. The more view switching and looking around I do, the sooner I start seeing black squares of slow - loading ground texture. I've been simming across Misty's world for a couple years and this is the only plane that forces me to back off the autogen slider. I've been kind of hoping they can optimize it a bit in future updates. A2A's recent stuff is just as high res and even a large complex plane like the Connie doesn't hit performance for me like this.
-
OK I understand the autogen solution, but I am still confused why it only happens when flying the Otter in the PFJ. I have given thought to it being related to the ORBX PAKT scenery. I never had a problem before adding it
-
Interesting. I am running the ORBX PAKT, as well as the Misty's Ketchikan harbor scenery. Consequently, the Ketchikan area definitely bogs my system down... but it's all so pretty I leave it installed ;-). Never had a genuine OOM there though. I've only actually ever seen that a couple times, when testing the Beaver in the Seattle area with everything maxed out. Oops lol.

Just to let you know it is amazing

Well I uninstalled the PAKT airport scenery, the ferry ETC and made the flight from PAKT to HYL made the flight with the Otter and no CTD, all though the warning chime was going off, but no crash. Secondly I tried the flight with the Milviz Beaver and had no problem. I guess my system is showing a little gray, but have other expenses taxes, medical so I guess I'll have to try to be satisfied with my status quo for now, unless Milviz can find some way to get the Otter not to be so heavy on the memory.

At least I know it isn't just me then!
I'll have try the Beaver/Otter away from PAKT/Misty's and see if it is usable there.
Cheers
