Great tips!
I learned something gong through the posts guys, thanks! @Tvrdi: "We cant expect that every single CLOD customer is HW and SW expert" Well, if he is not when buying the flight sim, I can only hope he is a fast learner...  I became an expert in Russian when I tried to download it from the Russian websites the first month of circulation...Yes, you are right Tvrdi in all points. But I like this flight sim somehow so I have my fun trying to sort out things...  @Dutch: Yes, thanks for this tip, I read about the 60% throttle at take-off yesterday at another thread. How was I supposed to imagine that a plane can take off at 60% engine power??? Good to know (after dozens of perforated oil gaskets...) @Insuber: "it's enough to let CloD alone, even minimized, to see the RAM being slowly eaten up" Interesting, I did exactly the same test, 30min in the ATAG server on the ground and it did NOT happen (no memory leak). My best result before CTD was 2hrs flying on ATAG server (with very little enemy contact  ).My worst result was 30min flying on ATAG server (with a hell of a lot of enemy contact ).This is why I tend to think the memory leak must be related to explosions. @albx: sorry mate, this is what happens often to early "trend setters". But we did not have such obvious memory leaks back those days (if I remember well, could be wrong, does not matter anyway...) @tintifaxl: Thanks for the explanation! It spares me the experimentations I was intending to do @cheesehawk: Damn, so I will have to experiment after all... @senseispcc: "There was a problem in the beta patch but in the patch itself there is none" Ugh? The Memory leak? Trust me, it is there, post patch. @Feathered: That is too little my friend, you have to do better than that. It seems flying is not the cause, you have to hit and make things explode, see the pieces dropping zoomed in, watch the planes crash.... (this is the moment where I should post the YouTube link to "Conan the Barbarian" speach about war and destruction... sorry, I do not have it )Anyway, to cut the long story short, it is not nice but, it is controllable and predictable so it does not cause me such a nuissance to restart CoD after I have engaged eight bandits (this is my CTD average). Besides, when I log in back to the same server my stats have not been re-set, this makes things a lot easier. Needless to say, I am confident that they will be quick to solve this bug since it is so obvious! The only probem I have is that I can not create a dump file because all dump files after this CTD are 0Kb thus useless. ~S~ Last edited by 335th_GRAthos; 10-30-2011 at 08:46 AM.

That's barely enough time to get warmed up and half way to altitude for a combat patrol. And yes, 335th_GRAthos, my experience with time vs. number of aircraft or explosions is just as you say. Three of us Pigs can patrol for an entire fuel load in the Hurricane and have no problems at all if we see no enemy aircraft or maybe one or two and have a successful attack. However, if there is a large flight of bombers with human escorts and things get heated and flak is bursting all over and bits of aircraft and parachutes are filling the sky, well, you know what happens.

S!
Noted the same. Flew all day on ATAG and gradually the performance deteriorated, noted in more stutter accompanied with lowering FPS, until the game crashed to launcher.exe. If not much action there is no problem at all..or it takes longer to crash if at all.

Thank you Sokol and Kongo-Otto for the links, it seems that I will have to try this tool...
Something concerned me though, reading the descriptions in the article, this is for moving from 2Gb to 4Gb RAM access. But our launcher.exe is consistenly over 3Gb when it crashes... So, what we need is a program that will give our launcher from 4Gb to 6Gb or so. (Not sure that my logic is correct) ~S~

Another thing to try is to marginally lower your graphics cards clock speed. I tried this a couple of days ago (following a post suggesting it) and so far I have not had one CTD in all the situations where previously I could have guaranteed one.
Having lowered to 740Mhz from stock 780 I edged it back up and its currently running stable at 770. This CTD thing is affecting a lot of players and it does need sorting. Nothing else I run causes me any problems so I'm pretty confident its a game related issue. i5 2500 16Gb DDR3 GTX570 500Gb Hybrid HD

Thanks for the point Scott, I would doubt it though because the CTD we are discussing is predictable and can be easily monitored by looking at the usage of computer RAM.
It is therefore more likely a computer RAM issue ("mmory leak") than a Graphics card clock speed issue. ..most probably... ~S~

), but don't use any more than 60% throttle, don't use boost, and keep a close eye on both head and oil temp.
