BING DATA WORLD GRAPHICS causing CTDs

Hi everyone,

Since the latest sim update I started experiencing random crashes in-game. (Plane or location doesn’t matter at all, it can happen at the gate, while taxi, mid flight, or near the end of the flight.) At first I didn’t really care about it until it got way too frequent:

The last few weeks spent with research about what causing this: As my last idea I tried to turn off BING DATA WORLD GRAPHICS in the data sections of the sim settings the result was that I couldn’t reproduce the crash anymore if it’s off. Tried to turn it on mid-flight, a few minutes later the game crashed. Since then managed to doo a few successful flights without satelite images.

I wouldn’t even try this if this type of crash wasn’t eerily similar to the “World map zooming CTD” what I experienced too (came with SU13 went with SU14) - Also this is why I’m opening this topic as there was quite a few people who experienced that one.

Also linking this topic to my Zendesk ticket.
