ATR PFD and panels freeze

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?

Encountered icing conditions, turned on Engine and Airframe Deice, and noticed Airframe Deice was not illuminating. Looking around, everything in the aircraft stopped responding to mouse click inputs (clicking pitot heat OFF did not change the state of the pitot heat button light, for instance), but I was able to click my joystick autopilot disconnect switch and found I could still fly around, but throttle levers did not physically move in-game nor control yoke.

don’t have sorry. I am on xbox serie X

Aircraft - ATR 72-600
Object - Flight plan will not transfer from EFB or from Aircraft PAD.
Explanation :
After completed hotel mode startup and all electric components active.
1.EFB will not transfer the flight plan to Avionics/FMC.
2.PAD – IMPORT OFP tab – works fine.
SET Flight PLAN tab – (this sends fpl info to Avionics/FMC). It does transfer the data BUT the FPS drops in the 20s from 175fps in PC mode and in the 15s from 40sfps in VR mode. The PAD tabs and all instruments buttons are no more responding. It is unplayable in this instance. There is a bug with MSFS 2024 obviously within the aircraft FMC’s interaction and it’s PAD because with MSFS 2020, it does work perfectly with FMC, there is no lost in FPS and no frozen instruments: no problem.
MSFS 2024 version 1.4.12.0, i9-14900K, RTX4090, Pimax Crystal.

flying from KTPA-KFLL in the AT76 just in between FORTL and CHICK points on the FRTL9 Arrival when all systems froze and plane wasn’t moving.After I recorded the video the sim went back to normal until I did it again. I did notice that when I clicked Alt+F9 to record through Nvidia that it seemed to fix it the second time.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:FR

Still whole plane freezes !!! No solution yet ??? When will fix this ???

Same problem as others; default game setup; fresh install; no mods. Also ATC/EFB just randomly changes flight plan to completely different destination with 0 explanation (multiple times throughout flight).

sim seems to freeze after confirming takeoff data in the ATR screen. Switches are still clickable, but vehicles and plane freezes

Same here.

Impossible to fly IFR, as almost every flight ends up in frozen avionics. Wasm crash? Dunno.

I sure hope the update for atr to be a native msfs2024 plane is just around the corner. Or better yet, if someone did a ATR 72-500 with real gauges.. :smiley:

Maybe the problem is related to certain liveries. There are liveries with which I haven’t this problem yet! With others, it happens twice per flight.

Can you tell us which liveries which liveries you used that make no freeze ?

Thanks

No freezes so far with a 2024 liverypack which I bought in Marketplace. Previously I had a livery pack from MSFS2020 and got freezes.

I ran the MSFSLayoutGenerator that’s built into Addon Linker through all the liveries from 2020 and it seems to be working

I have the same problem with both ATR 42 and 72. I found that if I move any of the panels to my second screen this problem happens in ATR aircraft. I left the NanoVG as “on” and tried flying the ATR 42 without moving the panels to the second screen. There was no problem with the panels and everything worked as it supposed to be.

Here is the issue: If your GPU is NVIDIA and your primary monitor is connected to your HDMI and a second monitor connected through a USB/HDMI Adaptor, the NanoVG API does not roll over to the second monitor. This is why the panels freeze.

Mine is a Laptop and I have no other option except to connect the second display through USB.

Turning off the NanoVg does not make any difference if you move the panels to the second screen. They still freeze up.

ATR House Livery, Avanti Air, Zimex, Air Dolomiti → No Freeze
Amelia, LH Regional, Brasthens → Freeze

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

I recently gave up flying the A310 because of very frequent MSFS crashes with that plane. So today I flew the ATR-42 instead. However, within 20 minutes, the airplane’s screens and instruments froze. The simulation continued, but all the aircraft screens and cockpit instruments were stuck in time. Lowering the landing gear and changing the flaps using my hardware buttons still worked, so I was able to land safely on ESSL29 (having travelled from ESSA26).

I have seen almost exactly the same problem several times before in the A320.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

Once recently in the ATR. Previously (the last year or so) a few times in the A320 Neo (v2).

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Fly the aircraft.

  2. Pray for the screens and instruments not to freeze.

  3. Observe the screens and instruments freeze.

Very clearly, I’m not flying 203 KIAS at 12000 ft in a mild bank to the left just above ARS.

i have same problem in mfs 2020.

still not fixed , today i try to fly atr 72 but … after 20 mins whole plane avionics become frozen and not responding ….

I am having similar problem.

Mfd and digital screens freeze, throttle , pedal, yoke animations stop working while I am trying to set up mfd or pfd like setting weather radar or transponder.

I had very same problem with a400m while setting up the mfd

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?

ATR42, ATR72 and also ATR72 systems just freeze mid flight…

I play on XBOX series X

Everything works fine when configuring FLP, taking off, and sometimes climbing out, but once it reaches cruise alt, all the systems freeze :c
