ATR 72 LCD screens all freezing

Weird thing. First flight in ATR since the update. Really first two flights and both times, at about 11-15000 feet, all the LCD screens froze up. Even the EFB was frozen. Knobs all worked and buttons worked but lights on buttons and LCD screens themselves did not work. 11K first time, second time 15K, all the LCD screens stopped working. I was actually in outside view mode at the time so didn’t see it in real time, just when I came back to the cockpit.

Anyone else getting freezes? I found an old topic about it that was apparently “resolved” in a patch, but it looks like this bug might be back, then, I guess.

Specs: 13600K, 3070SC, 32GB memory. Steam PC version.

Yes…..in the past few days I have been flying the ATR-42 600 and usually 10 to 15 min after takeoff the screens on the flight deck computers will freeze. Outside scenery is still rolling by the window and the sounds are still present, but I am unable to change any settings in the cockpit. I hope Asobo can revisit this because right now fs2020 is unusable at least with the ATR.

This is added info to my earlier post. On You Tube there is a video that explains the proper way to program your flight plan into the FMC. I used to hand type in my waypoints on the scratch pad then put them on the line that says Discontinuity. This is what is causing the flight deck screens to freeze up. Watch the video and learn the correct method of flight plan programming by using the soft keys on the FMC.

Nothing helps. Not even the last suggestion. The last time I tried, I had the problem when rolling to take off.

I am experiencing trouble with the ATR 72-600 also. I can create a flightplan thru the integrated system and the aircraft follows the path; However, when i land and taxi to the gate. I am unable to shut the aircraft down either manually or using the overhead panel to locate battery, which shows to be off and mouse click not able to move it..either on or off.. The panel on the pilots left side, where you choose Aircraft, Performance, Flightplan etc…will NOT function with click of mouse after showing up at a gate. “My passengers stuck on the plane” ! :slight_smile:

The last thing that helped me was resetting the rolling cache. Since then, I haven’t had any more freezes.

Same here, half way frozen, and I’m not gonna even be bothered with reporting the bug this time.
I reported something else last month and they bar straight ignored me after gave me some bullxxit “on and off” stuff then closed the ticket without any solution! So I told them to get their attitude straight otherwise I’ll report them to customer protection. And right next day these dxxkless mofos frozen my account straight forward.
