Aircraft & Scenery Designer Memory Requirements

4.00

MS-DOS

Summary:

Aircraft & Scenery Designer requires a computer with 640K of RAM to run. The amount of free memory required depends on which Flight Simulator and Aircraft & Scenery Designer features are active.

When you are low on memory, Aircraft & Scenery Designer issues the following warning message:

Not enough memory available to use all Flight Simulator features!

If there is not enough memory to load the enhanced instrument panel, ASD will use the Cessna panel. When this occurs, the program issues the following message:

Not enough memory to load the enhanced instrument panel!

Under very low memory conditions, Flight Simulator may exit to DOS with the following message:

Not enough memory to run this function - FS shutting down.

To avoid low-memory conditions, try one or more of the following:


 * 1) Avoid using terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) programs.
 * 2) Minimize the use of device drivers in CONFIG.SYS.
 * 3) Boot the system with a DOS disk that has a bare minimum of items in CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT (such as a DOS boot disk).
