ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
After getting inside a plane and proceeding to the startup process the sim would CTD. At best I managed to take off and fly a few minutes (less than 5) before the sim and sometimes my entire system crashes.

Did you experience this issue before you joined the Beta?
Nope
[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
Yes! I reinstalled the sim and had no content in the community folder

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Every time I use VR with my Pimax Crystal light

REPRODUCTION STEPS

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

  1. Start a flight from any airport
  2. get on any plane with avionics like G3000 and start your flight from cold and dark
  3. Start configuring your flight (enter flight plan…) and a few moments later I experience crashes
  4. Best case scenario you manage to take off. A few minutes (less than 10) into the flight I expect a CTD

• Hi, I am experiencing the same. CTD’s several minutes into the flight. I have reasonable FPS and VRAM is at around 60%. It appears that the CTD’s appear when the sim is loading from disk. I get a short stutter and then it is over (CTD). Sometimes it proceeds with no issues after the stutter but most of the time the result is an CTD.

• I can fly more than 8 - 10 minutes but the same issue…the moment the sim starts loading stuff and stutters a bit it crashes with the same error message. As if the VR part is unable to handle short stutters due to loading things in and out of the sim. I often see this behaviour when changing views where things need to be unloaded and loaded, when moving the head around very fast and the sim has to load buildings, scenery etc. very fast. The same issue however pops up in MSFS2020 when in DX 12 mode! So I assume that it is a combination of DX12 mode and the way stuff is loaded/unloaded and handled in the background.

• Trying a flight from North Weald to Rochester in a 152. I had to restart my PC due to total system freezes a few minutes into the flight four times, but then it ran fine for an hour. 1.4.12
