:warning: Reminder:

I haven’t had chance to try 1.5.4.0 yet but I wanted to follow up on the CTD I had on 1.5.3.0 and that thread just got closed.

Watching Say Intentions vectors to final stream today about traffic and they said SU3 introduced a problem where it would stutter and crash if more than about 50-60 objects were injected. I was not using SI but I always use BATC with traffic enabled and the CTD was while descending through about the 10,000ft level on the STAR so not far from the airport. It’s possible that this was about the time BATC was injecting extra traffic for the arrival airport.

My issue was not nvidia driver as speculated by another poster as I’ve not updated mine for several months and it was stable on SU2 beta.

I have not used SU2, because I went straight into Beta again. 1.5.4.0 Seems very stable now. I’ve done 4 short flights and had no CTD’s. Was plagued by CTD’s up to now (mostly when selecting aircraft and loading into the airports). Great job!

Just had a short helicopter flight (30 mins or so). All is good so far. But Displacement Mapping now does make a more significant impact. Turning it off gives noticeable differences on the fps, but I could be wrong

I did have a few CTD’s with previous SU3 beta builds. But with this build it hasn’t happened yet.

In 1.5.3.0 and 1.5.4.0 I sometimes get a CTD on FS startup. About 25% of the time it just crashes before the menu loads. Then I run it again and everything works. I don’t reboot or do anything but just immediately run it again. Sometimes, I get a safe mode warning on the 2nd start but not always.

Makes you wonder if the problem is related to the interaction with the online services somehow.

Here’s one for the devs to ponder. I seldom ever get the dreaded “low bandwidth” error; yet with 1.5.3 and 1.5.4 the last couple of days I’ve been getting this message with every flight. In addition, the sim would not exit properly when I shut it down; I would have to bring up Task Manager and exit the program that way.

Here’s the only thing (that I am aware of) I’ve done differently. I had decided to download to my PC my 2020 FFX Vision Jet and 3rd party airport KSDF. Now, whether or not this is coincidence, the low bandwidth errors started. Last night I decided to revert to full streaming of those two addon’s and removed them from my PC.

Today, I’ve just completed a full flight of about an hour. Not once did I get the low bandwidth error or message.

Doesn’t seem logical, nevertheless that’s what has happened. The sim doesn’t seem to like mixing downloads of 2020 addons and streaming 2024 to my PC.

I’ll see with further flights if I’ve reverted back to error free flights again. Today’s successful flight was a start.

This sounds alot like my latest of 3 CTD I had today. Flying the last part of the star into Gatwick with BATC in the Inibuilds a320 V2.

Most CTDs I get is when interacting with the EFB (loading), ATC (Cancel IFR flight) and during final approach. So as you can guess it crashes a lot.

First time trying to fly with .4 in the C185 out of KRBL (small auto-gen). Everything seemed okay, turned south to enjoy the flight and the whole display went black and recovered with this:

So much for that.

Have experienced more CTDs than ever since SU1, many before take off. I am now on SU3 .4. Performance is very good generally.

Also, the autopilot (G1000) disengages almost every flight. Attempts to re-engage it rarely work, as it disengages almost immediately most of the time once the behavior starts. I never had this happen prior to SU1. I have been flying with an empty community folder and GA planes. I have stopped using BATC but that doesn’t seem to matter as I still lose the AutoPilot. I just Repaired the install of MSFS2024 and will see if that makes a difference.

Update: The Repair Install of MSFS2024 did not make any difference. Later found thqat the calibration of my CH Yoke had been lost. By deleting the CH software and using only the Windows CH software and re-calibrating the yoke and pedals resolved the issue!!

70% of my flights ended with CTD.
Some of them when using GSX for pushback, so I tried it without.

Approaching VHHH 23L again CTD without having GSX active.
Current BETA build is a lot less stable then the official release

Two CTDs today, one after the other.

For me, this is definitely the worst FS2024 beta release for stability (including all previous updates).

Been flying for hours today and it’s really stable for me.

Same, especially after reverting back to 566

for me in su3 beta from the very beginning no flights are loading… the map at maximum zoom is blurry and does not load, the live version works fine, just for information for the Asobo team…

My biggest issue is AI traffic addons are crashing the sim, its not just one developer, SI,BATC,FSHUD,AIG, all except for some reason once the traffic loads the sim freezes and CTD.

SI says they have tried to reach out to Asobo
