@TheSevenflyer

Yes, set up your VM as mine.
You may not want to go as high as I did.
I went 4 times the ram amount in MB
A lot of folks just go 3 x which is 48000 instead of the 64000 I went.
I have had no ill effects from going that large, and the sim is very stable.

Thanks for posting your settings. I have copied them to mine and will look how it works now.

Do you have CTDs if you have not set this ammount of space for your page file?

@MichaMMA

I assume, depend on where you fly ( e.g try London ) , this amount is not enough. I recommend to made a manual setting as former mentioned ( max 32 GIG should more a as enough, set Minimum to e.g 4Gig ).

Can you tell how much space is left on your hard drive ?

I tried it on the same place everytime. It is not a huge city like London or NYC. Just a small place in germany.

On my windows installation i have 142 GB free. On my SSD with FS 2020 there is 449 GB free space. The Rolling Cache folder is on my FS-SSD of course.

Twice in a row, repeatable CTD after five to six minutes in the air. Two different aircraft; two different airports.

This, after weeks of stable operation. Time for another “Clean Install” I think…

With the amount of space you have left, if this does help, try reducing the maximum amount to 32000 and see if the sim is still good.

[TheSevenflyer]

Just checking to ensure you know that most of your settings are kept in the cloud and are restored when you do a reinstall.

Had a sudden CDT just now. But it took a bit longer to crash. I’ll try to reduce the ammount to 32000.

[MechDonald]

No look unfortunatly. FS 2020 keeps crashing.

On the world map. Never had this before the update.

[MichaMMA]

hmmm… then we have to think about possible other reasons

I fly the whole day, in different areas from UK to all, and no CTD.

[MechDonald]

I know. I also could that. Before the latest update.

[MichaMMA]

this is strange… this is the page with lowest load compared with the other menu-pages.

Can you open Windows Event Viewer ? (Ereignisanzeige ) … can you see what is logged ?

[MechDonald]

Yes of course. What should i look for?

[MichaMMA]

entries with ERROR related to Flighsim…exe.

Sometime, with bit luck, we get bit more info from the error message.

[MechDonald]

Do you mean this:

[MichaMMA]

oh… the VCRUNTIME.dll issue … there are threads, possible we find hints which I forgot

[MechDonald]

That sounds promising…

[MichaMMA]

and lol… the first thing what I found as I searched the existing threads was my setting which I have since… ever

VCRUNTIME140.dll Error

I may have just fixed this issue so far. I am testing at the moment still. It was suggested on discord to go to Options > General > Sound and change the Text-to-Speech-Settings from Azure to Windows Offline. So far I have been in a 1.5 hours flight without any CTD. I will keep you posted as this is a 4-hour flight if all goes well hopefully this can be a temporary fix. [Capture]

( I mentioned this also within the ‘since 1.12.13.0.’ link )

But there are many newer possible issues… we should read a bit

And possible you can try the setting

[MechDonald]

Cool. Thanks a lot! I’ll try that out immediatly.

…and THANK YOU Guys for the time for helping me!!!

@TheSevenflyer

most of your settings are kept in the cloud and are restored when you do a reinstall.

That may even be a good thing, but, when installing these updates I’ve found they disturb random things like the size of the rolling cache, and key bindings. I’m not certain what is actually stored in the cloud, and/or whether it has any effect on reinstalling the local files. Also, if you look in the directory where aircraft and the “base packages” are installed, you’ll find a list of “leftovers” from the last update.

This is a wild guess on my part, but perhaps having packages installed all at the same time helps the bits and pieces work and play better together.

The only evidence I have that this may be the case, is that I have gone through this ritual after every update and it seems - more or less - to mitigate the CTD events. The list shown below was all dated 9 or 10 January. All other directories were dated 16 February.

Fortunately, I have fairly decent internet and a fairly high-speed connection, with no data cap. I should be back up and flying no later than 22:00 Zulu today.

No luck. Crashes even if i turn it off completely.

[SeagullCGN]

The crash situation isn’t better afer the update. I deside, that I will report every crash with attaching a msinfo and dxdiag file to zendesk.

It isn’t the community that has to solve the problem. It’s Microsoft’s job, they got my money too. * annoyed *
