  • Do you still have crash with 32GB of ram?

    Yes that used to happen to me as well and everything completed fine although the tool window went blank.

    This is an out of memory crash. Issue seems to be with Geo Convert tool and a memory hole if I was a betting man.

    Very odd though that it was working just like yours and now it does not. Only changes are update graphics drivers and a Windows 10 small update.

  • Do you still have crash with 32GB of ram?

    I have successfully converted large areas already. The only thing I can think of is a recent update to windows or Nvidia drivers.

    The whole process starts off like it used to and I can see 5 levels for conversion and then we start with level 9. I can get to about 40 or nearly half of the 88 tiles at level 9 and then out of memory stops the process.

    I would have to say that conversion is much slower than previously experienced and I am basically converting the same areas having understood better how to mask water using GIMP etc.

    I am doing a method of capturing at a download of 1 and converting level 9, 11, 12, 13 and 14 for the whole land mass. I will then be adding a level 15 at -1 for airports and other areas of interest.

    I really can't understand what is going on as I was able to do this with relative ease and it is no longer working on my main machine or surface pro.

    I have included a screen shot of files that I have successfully converted following your tutorials.

    The out of memory bug is currently being investigated. We should have a fix by next week, then you can convert arbitrary large regions.

    I can tell you that it is not arbitrary. I am converting the whole of the UK to a high level. North, Central and South. Central has the Lake District where I lived for many years. This area is beautiful and I have flown over it in real life.

    I think that it might be to do with a recent update that Microsoft forced upon me because previously it flew through it. Now it seems very slow to convert anything and write the converted files to the hard disk. Eventually the program crashes or the PC.

    Look forward to the fix. If you could also make it not consume every resource on the machine it would be good. I could then browse the web or something while waiting for the computer to do the work. I have the PC hyper threaded and clocked to 4.5ghz on a RAMPAGE black edition motherboard with an ASUS 1080TI OC card for good measure. If you could get Geo convert using CUDA then that might be another improvement.

    Anyway looking forward to completing the whole of the UK and Ireland to 1m per Pixel when you have a fix in place.

    Flying over the UK in VR is great. Just need some buildings and trees around the Airports and I will be in flight sim bliss.

    I have an I7 6 core 32gb Ram quad channel and I am converting the UK. I had some good success with about 60gb chunks at various different detail settings.

    I have just run off a 256gb chunk of the centre of the UK using FSET down to 1m per pixel and completed all the coast line masking but when I run geo converter it crashes after about 10 tiles. I have watched the memory usage and it just keeps consuming memory until it dies
