Constant CTD’s on Xbox with 3rd Party Scenery & Airports

Just wished I read somewhere about this issue with this particular airport addon and saved the money or invested it on another airport…oh well…

Unfortunately, things are still pretty bad.. A320 from Glasgow (UK2000) to Brussels (Justsim). CTD just before parking at the gate. Those are really killing😕

Things were a lot better during the SU11 betas, so I have no idea what has happened.

I’ve experienced this with their OIIE also on the XBOX, frustratingly after a 2 hr flight. Landed and turned onto the taxiway with a CTD soon after. Those type of CTDs are very frustrating!

Yes Gatwick EGKK Origami’s airport is the worst airport I own deleted wasted my money hoping for Pyreegue devs to design Heathrow,Gatwick there airports are excellent never ctd

A wonderful flight from KDEN to KLAS on the 787-10 and coming in for a landing and you guessed it, a CTD. First in a while, I wonder what it could be, lol! :thinking:

Yes, always frustrating…If you haven’t done it yet, write to the developer. I have already sent an e-mail. support@aerosoft.zendesk.com

During the last 2 sales, i bought almost every Pyreegue aiports available. And no matter what i throw at it, it’s rock solid and super stable. I investigated every corner of the aiports, inside and out. The level of detail is absolutely stunning, inside and out. Not one CTD.

They are an example to other developers. Aiports from other developers with much , much less levels of detail, still CTD every now and then. I came to the conslusion that this is not Asobo’s fault, but just the developers not optimizing their content enough for Xbox.

Maybe Asobo can escalate this to the developers?

By the way, the same goes for content from UK2000

Edit: look at the specs for the upcoming LOWW airport from Gaya Simulations for Xbox:

Yes I totally agree Pyreegue airports are the best by a country mile. I have purchased 6 of there airports not one CTD in any aircraft and the detail is all there.I think to it’s down to optimization for sure

Bought FlyTampa’s Vegas pack. Comes with McCarran Int’l and a beautiful Vegas strip. The Strip is great, but the airport CTD’s everytime.

FlyTampa has no intention of fixing it (I asked). Luckily, the Airport and Strip are separated, so you can keep the Strip and delete the Airport. However, McCarran is now just an empty gray lot with floating jetways.

FeelThere has McCarran as well on the Marketplace. Debating on getting it to fill the literal void.

Yeah it’s not good enough spending money on these broken airports with no intention to patch or offer a refund.

They fixed it for the beta today. I’m very curious to see what this means for 3rd party airports.

Unfortunately, I’m seeing more CTDs now than before at third party airports. My addon KDCA and DC landmarks worked great before the new beta, now can’t load in without a CTD. I used basic Cessna 172 too, rather than anything advanced.

Edit: Tried with the Cessna 152, and that time the flight worked. Will have to test more with other aircraft.

It is with me. I had to uninstall it as it was affecting the whole of the London area

With this new update I did not ctd on take off at Gatwick by origami my worst airport for ctds before the update. I couldn’t even start the aircraft on parking without it crashing

Right, i joined the new beta and decided to go to my airport I always test for CTD 's, Flytampa Athens. Did all my normal procedures. Cold&dark at the gate, checklist, ground vehicles etc. After that taxiing to the runway, halfway there bam CTD😩.

With the current Live build I could at least take off from Athens.. I will test further in the coming days, but if this is an indication of things to come, I surely opt out of this beta and pray to God this will not be the release candidate.

Sometimes the betas do have tighter memory constrictions to allow certain things to be tested. In can result in some instability on consoles until the live release.

I really, really hope you are right my friend.

My default test CTD airport is the EDDH from Justsim, yes I know…Justsim. No change after the update though. C&D at the gate. Batteries on → Avionics flicker and then Black. These recover, however. In the course of the start preparations → CTD. All as before.

Are there any tactics folks use here to mitigate risk of CTD at high complexity airports? Does turning off live weather and/or traffic help a lot, or just marginally?

Also, does starting cold and dark work better than live on the runway? I notice I’m getting more CTDs starting right off on the runway, perhaps due to a memory spike related to all the stuff going on at once upon loading in.
