Memory allocation & Releasing memory

The RCU file is located in the main directory of your IL-2 install. It can be edited using Notepad but as a precaution you should make a copy of it first.
This is the default location.

(32 bit systems): C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\rcu
(64 bit systems): C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\IL-2 Sturmovik 1946\rcu

If you still happen to have the game located in one of those default directories you should move it out of them onto your C drive.

In this Knowledge Base article at M4T there is an explanation about the RCU file and how to alter it.

The Java VM automatically performs a garbage collection if necessary.
Asking for a garbage collection "on demand" is just that: Asking.
The Java VM may or may not actually perform a garbage collection when you call for it, and the result most of the time isn't exactly what you'd expect it to be.
In summary, the whole purpose of the GC command is questionable at best.
