ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
I usually fly the A320 Neo (v.2), but recently I wanted to reacquaint myself with the lovely A310.
But that turned out not to be a particularly pleasant experience.
My first attempt ended abruptly while still on the ground preparing the aircraft. The MSFS process crashed. You know, the sound temporarily goes away for a second, then comes back for a fraction of a second, and then goes away permanently, a few seconds before the MSFS windows (yes, Win32 windows) are removed and the MSFS process dies.
My second attempt suffered the same faith.
On my third attempt, I was more successful. I has just reached my cruising altitude when MSFS crashed.
My fourth attempt was much more successful. I flew from ESSA26 to ESSL19.
My fifth attempt the day after, however, resulted in an early MSFS crash on the ground.
So it seems like the A310 simply has a high risk of crashing the process. Memory corruption? (Time to upgrade to C++26 with its “hardened” STL?)
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
Apparently very often, maybe 75% risk of a MSFS process crash within an hour when flying (or attempting to fly) the A310 from ESSA to ESSL (haven’t tried any other route – I don’t get paid to investigate MSFS bugs!).
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
-
Start MSFS.
-
Plan a trip from ESSA26 to ESSL19 in the default A310.
-
Set up the avionics and take off.
