This is the best news I’ve heard in 48 hours haha. Very excited!

Great news at last, hopefully the CTD will end soon up to 17 now and 6 freezes, but I keep trying, I got an hour yesterday that was lots of enjoyment. So looking forward to the Hotfix.

Do you use Navigraph nav data? I was having CTD on the World Map screen specifically when it was set to Satellite or Blend and zooming in and out and moving around. I think this had something to do because I use Navigraph’s nav data and in had removed everything from my Community folder including nav data and I realised that I was unable to enter any waypoints in an aircraft cause they weren’t in a database.

Have been trying to make it crash recently but been unsuccessful.

No, I don’t use it.

I can’t reinstall the game anymore (stucked in decompressing packages). Will the hotfix fix this as well, in your opinion?

I’ve had back-to-back CTDs since the update. Only 1 successful flight out of 4. The sim was working flawlessly prior - frame rates in the 50s, no stuttering, gorgeous scenery, smooth seamless panning inside cockpit with TrackIR


Now I can’t get even get to rotate before CTD.

Removed everything from community folder too - no luck.

bummer


No CTD as such but Baron autopilot had a brainstorm midflight and suddenly flipped the AC into a steep turn to the right and headed for a spiral dive into the ground.I regained control by disconnecting the AP. After stabilising the AC discovered the AP was terminally unusable so I flew manually and landed at the nearest Airport using Navigraph Chart. Had to restart the flight from scratch
then OK.
Experiencing not just stutters, but sim sometimes actually freezes and then stutters back into life. Performance much worse than before SU5, not better as promised. Never had more than very occasional very brief odd stutter before the update. Somethings gone wrong somewhere !

Hello,
Je n’avais aucun problĂšme jusqu’à ces derniers jours, mĂȘme avec la SU5.
Et puis lundi, j’ai changĂ© ma carte graphique, passĂ© enfin d’une 980 Ă  une RTX 3080. DĂ©sormais j’ai constamment des CTD. J’ai tout essayĂ©, toujours ces crash. 1 vol sur 4 ou 5 OK environ. J’ai rĂȘvĂ© d’avoir mon FS en ultra
 et dĂ©sormais que c’est possible, je dois abandonner et attendre une hypothĂ©tique mise Ă  jour
 Dur dur.
Mon problĂšme ne vient pas de ma carte, c’est certain. Un ami qui a une 3080 depuis un bon moment avait son jeu OK jusqu’à la SU5
 depuis il a Ă©galement les CDT et il met le jeu en pause Ă©galement.
Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

“Hello,
I had no problem until the last few days, even with the SU5.
And then on Monday, I changed my graphics card, finally going from a 980 to an RTX 3080. Now I have CTDs all the time. I’ve tried everything, always these crashes. 1 flight out of 4 or 5 OK approximately. I dreamed of having my FS in Ultra 
 and now that it is possible, I have to give up and wait for a hypothetical update 
 Tough.
My problem isn’t with my card, that’s for sure. A friend who has had a 3080 for a while had his game OK until SU5 
 since then he also has CDTs and he pauses the game as well.
Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

I too just experienced my third CDT on a flight over 5hrs
 should have been 6 hrs. I too have an RTX 3080 and settings to Ultra
a fully capable rig with all new hardware
spent a few thousand $$$ just to have it start to fail once SU5 was forced upon us. SU5 (built for XBox) is not serving the community and should be reversed. Better yet, decouple the XBox code and make it a separate code from the original Pre XBox patch. The PC community should NOT suffer due to the limitations of a GAME box. gamers can still share in the on line environment but don’t handicap the PC community with sub par coding to make it serve users that are not likely to invest in expanding with the program. Make MSFS an actual simulator NOT a game!!! Or stop calling it MicroSoft Flight SIMULATOR 
 currently it has been mandatorily transformed into MSFGame.

I am ashamed and feel duped into thinking this program was heading in the right direction, 1 year after a bad launch. C’mon fix this mess! Starting to think class action suit might be in the future.

Just look at the active bug list
.

From The MSFS Team:

The “experience” that was possible a month ago was an improvement over the current “experience”
 nice work!
