Addon Manager with FS9 patched for more than 2GB of RAM

[virtuali]

You can try two things:

- disabling the antivirus or simply exclude fs2004 folder (with subfolders) or just fs2004\modules from scanning

- Are you running with CD4 inserted ? In this case, you can try use an FS9.EXE without CD4 check.

If the 2nd case solves the issue, that might be an useful feedback. In that case, I'm afraid we'll have to keep two separate versions, and who's using the >2GB patch should also patch a no CD FS9.EXE

Hy, i have exact the same Problem but only with the modified FS9.exe



I deaktivate DrWatson and remove all Reg-Entries and deaktivate my McAffee Firewall and Virusprotection but the same result.

For those having that problem, please let me know if you are using the original FS9.EXE with CD check, or a modified EXE to bypass the CD check at start.

Hi Umberto!

I used the FS9.EXE with CD Check. But now i installed the NoCD-Crack and everything works perfect!

Thanks for your fast reply!

Hi. I'm getting the same error promts as Andy with bglman.dll version 1.45. Also the bglman.dll won't start. I'm on WinXPsp2 and FS9.exe with CD check. It occurs with both modified and unmodified FS9.exe.

[virtuali]

So, it's now clear that, if you want to use the >2GB compatibile Addon Manager, you have to use FS9.EXE without CD check.

[Rudderduck]

Ok, I hereby confirm that everything works fine with the "large addressaware modified nocd fs9.exe".
Thank you Umberto!

I'm still not shure if the 3GB switch really do have any effect at all though. But extensive testing yesterday with demanding software like Pmdg747, Suprunovs Yak-40, ASv6, UTEurope, and heavy airport addons all over Europe, didn't result in any OOM's. So far it seems very promising.

Guys what's the difference between the 3GB switch in the boot.ini and the PAE switch?

Rob

[virtuali]

The /PAE switch is needed to allocate more than 4GB of physical memory (not virtual).

The /3GB switch, instead, changes the default allocation of memory inside the 4GB: from 2GB user space + 2GB kernel space, to 3GB user space + 1GB kernel space

We need the /3GB, together with the patched exe, for FS9. The /PAE and the /3GB switches, are also better not to be used together.

Hi!

I updated my C9-EHAM-Scenery to v1.04 today to get AES support. But now the modified FS9.exe wont work again. Same error as before the new Addonmanager. Any chance for an update?

Oliver

[virtuali]

This is because the Cloud9 installer doesn't automatically check which FS9.EXE you have, and always installs the non-2GB compliant version.

Just remove bglman.dll, and run our Addon Manager standalone installer instead, it has already been updated these days to support EHAM 1.04.

[HHH]

Thanks for your quick answer Umberto. Everything is okay again. Support here is really great.
Thank you very much.

Hi,

i'm doing hard to find a suitable fs9.exe with nocd to patch, which works also with 4GB and FS9 Zürich on my german FS 2004.

Currently i have a 4GB-patched FS9 up and running, all fine, except the Zürich scenery. Could anyone provide a patched fs9.exe with nocd and 4GB patch?

Sorry for this slight special request... But on the other hand it is really frustrating to deal with these type of copy protections. After this, i am quite sure, i have to activate my Yak-40 again :-(

Thanks Stefan
