[[FGRun]] used to keep all loaded aircraft (in one session) in cache for quick re-view on the aircraft selection page. There were cases reported in which the memory usage reached 1GB; slowing down the entire computer tremendously! Since FGRun must stay open during your FlightGear flights, it decreased in-sim framerates. With the fix, FGRun only uses necessary resources. | [[FGRun]] used to keep all loaded aircraft (in one session) in cache for quick re-view on the aircraft selection page.
