Seeing as the Xbox is a closed system you’d think, as a community, we’d be able to narrow down the differences between those having no problems and those in the frustrating position of constant issues.
Variables I can think of are:
Third party add-ons. Aircraft, scenery, accessories.
Controller set-ups.
Method of closing/opening sim.
Storage capacity available on Xbox.
Other games on Xbox in Quick Start mode.
Length of flights.
I personally have very few problems.
I only have EGLL and Global Shipping scenery
I fly C310R, and 500E third party a/c as well as the A310 and 407
I use a V1 Flight Stick, KB and mouse
I only have MSFS and RDR2 installed
I quit back to Xbox Home Screen before shutting down Xbox
I quit MSFS every day or two or immediately before a session if I’m going to fly the A310
I have RDR2 in Quick Start mode
Most of my flights are 2 hours or less but I have flown transatlantic with no problem.
As I say, I have very rare CTD, usually if I haven’t fully quit MSFS for a couple of days. ATC continues to run throughout all flights and performance is very good.
I have airport addon LGAV, which has been working great on all aircraft before SU 12. So I started a flight with multiplayer on, live traffic on and A310. The A310 parked at gate with black screens, and nothing was working.
Next, I turned live traffic off and tried again. Screens were on at the beggining. Right after I pressed Allign IRS on the MCDU, eveyting went black again.
Next, I turned multiplayer off and traffic off. Tried once more, and got a CTD right after loading.
During the 3 test above, I always closed the game and rebooted the Xbox.
The last test I did not use the A310 but the A321. Everything worked fine with Multiplayer and Live traffic on. And in general the A321 works on every airport add on and default and only had one black screen during landing when there is a lot of live traffic and multiplayer at an airport.
Conclusion: The A310 is broken on Xbox series S.
PS: I’ve had several problems with it on default airports also, but they usually happen a couple of minutes in, while setting up the flight.
Hello everyone, I created a topic about the same issue but in the iniBuilds forum, if anyone is able to report their issues with the A310 related to constant CTDs since SU12 would be amazing so we can get more attention into this, it really need to be sorted out because it’s almost unflyable with addons on Xbox series S.
To those, mostly on the Series S, of course I hope they make the A310 flyable;I used to own a Series S and it was amazing most of times given the price. I since moved to X and to me the SIM and this aircraft in SU 12 have been really stable and can’t thank enough the developers for stunning sceneries like this flight landing in ENRB Norway.
I don’t think the A310 will fix soon on Xbox s Asobo, Microsoft even iniBuilds seems not to bother to fix the issues because many Xbox s users claim A310 works fine for them, how do they make A310 work?? I don’t know
They say they have fixed it but you need to wait for an official update.
In other words they think they’ve identified the problem and they’ve incorporated a fix but the updated 310 hasn’t been released yet. You are still testing the old version with the bug.
The one that peeves me the most? Runway lights hovering 100 ft above the frikin runway. ATC audio crapping out, so there’s only text ATC. Dropping internet wherever it feels like it (dont even start MS, i have fiber optic internet at 200+mbps.
Absolute shame how developers are too concerned with 3rd party add ons, on a beta broken simulator. Its all about the PC ppl.
XBox customers take it in the ■■■ ffs.
Brutal.
Menu animations? That’s a new one on me. Is that in the msfs settings page? Doesn’t sound like the sort of thing that should make a difference if you are not using menus while flying. It’ll be interesting to see if that is reproducible our just one of those random coincidences.
If you disable and enable the option to skip the cut scene at the beginning of the flight and restart the flight several times, the simulator will show the AI traffic lights on the ground.
It’s just an example of how a menu setting can affect a bug
Had a stable 5-hours-flight this week. Only one CTD when still on ground. Second try in air I noticed that I did not load enough fuel (don´t know if it was my fault or something with the EFB). For that I recommend indeed check the FUEL QTY panel in overhead before takeoff (which I did not). Third try the 5-hours-flight went stable and without issues (and enough fuel )
Ctd when I turned off the engines after 1.and a half hour of flight. (landed at default LFPG) Inibuilds have decrease the number of external cameras but the addition of effective on water wipers is great
