Yeah we have a lot of “whats all about this computer thingy” people in the FS Community - nobody should take this as a mean comment now . So the savage will be real
Anyways, just thought now - wait bing update now we can enjoy all the promised watermasks - nada nada nada
this may be a clue
I have two systems running MSFS (Game Pass)
one system is bang upto date with windows updates etc, i noticed a lot of xbox updates over the last 3 days for windows. the other system is not upto date.
both run all ORBX addon Airports
the up to date one just CTD’s when trying to start a flight to any addon airport.
the system that has no recent up dates to windows or xbox game bar etc etc. works just fine with the same addons.
I suggest you read the thread from the top, and it will explain what’s happening. Unless you are suggesting that it may be related to the rolling cache?
I think I read that some suggested they turn off Bing data, load the airport, then while in the sim turn Bing data back on again. I’ve not tested this, though.
This does not work. If you have the caches disabled, you can load into the airport with bing disabled and turn it on after the sim is up and running - was stable, but tested only for 3 minutes.
Said solution was then to restart the sim, you should then be able to load back into the airport with no problems. Did not work for me.
What MAY could work is to clear the cache, then load into airport without bing, re enable bing, restart - IF the next load up then will then use the files from the cache: airport CGL + Bing for surroundings of the custom CGL only - but I doubt it’ll work this way.
Interesting! Aside from the recent Windows-Update that would be Gaming Services and XBOX Game Bar via Marketplace update, at least that’s what happened on my system.
I hope your post gets noted by the devs - could make you a hero
I have Windows updates turned off Win10 Pro Edition and I was getting the CTD, I rolled back my system with Acronis from to a snap shot at the beginning of the month and still got CTD so effectively my system went back in time when everything was running fine, this is how I determined it was an issue with the Bing data and not my PC. So it is not a Win update on my system. It could be that one system is relying on older cached scenery which doesn’t effect the CTD because it is using older data from Bing inside the sim, this is was caught a lot of users out at the beginning of this report, some were reporting no issues while others with the same airport scenery were. I have a lot of video editing software for my business on my machine and so Win updates can cause catastrophic effects, I have updates turned off to maximum time allowed.
Today I purchased the Munich airport from the marketplace (EDDM Aerosoft), as soon as I tried to load a flight plan the system crashed to desktop. I removed and everything is working properly for Munich, so I was at first asking to be reimbursed…but then I tried other add-ons I have for Europe: Innsbruck (LOWI, Orbx) and Bonn (EDDK, Aerosoft), plus the one that was available for free on the marketplace (Paderborn, EDLP). None of them is working causing a crash of the software as soon as I try to load a flight plan. This is simply unacceptable, I purchased this stuff from the marketplace and it is simply unacceptable to have such kind of bugs. I’m speechless, rather than focus on update it would be better to work on the several bugs. I hadn’t a single CTD before today so the system was working fine apart for the well known bugs (spikes etc.) that everybody is experiencing and until they probably started to play with the code just before the World Update
