No one else has the whole world to try and fix
X-Plane? Prepar3d? When did they release an update that prevented people from opening the game if they had certain add-ons?
Fixers of “The whole world” are just Bing and some devs (collectively, >144k people) funded by a company (Microsoft) with a $2.15 trillion dollar market cap. They have enough money to do it right, and if not that, they have enough money to hire managers who are aware of concepts like “meet the level of expectations your customers expect from the market or you will suffer”. There is no valid excuse.

I’m not being funny when considering the time constraints Asobo might have seen this as the quickest way to go, basically making us all beta testers. Not so bad on those that get few CTD’s but very harsh on those that can’t play. If true I disagree with it but it is what it is, I just hope they can get us all flying again quickly.

Big wheels grind slowly.
Completed a flight this morning followed by 8 CTD’s throughout the day.
Checked xbox live. Everything seems to be working.
Went to settings>Gaming>Xbox networking. Looking at Xbox live Multiplayer clicked Fix it button.
FS 2020 loaded twice with no CTD.
Who cares about X-Plane and Prepar3d? If people want use them they are welcome to. And anyway there are some that reckon X-plane were no better when they upgraded too
This goes out the window when they charge us $60 + add-ons. Not to mention they double charge you for the game when you decide to upgrade your purchase to a higher tier (WHICH I AM VERY SALTY OVER IF YOU CAN’T TELL). If they’re cash grabbing like that its far from beta testing. This is a full fledged release, not even early release. Its also been a year since release. Trust me I WANT to like this game very much, but its kinda hard if I can’t start it up after spending upwards of $400 on the game and add-ons from the marketplace after being able to fly perfectly fine before.

Ask them for a refund explaining your position and they will probably oblige, at least Steam did for me.
And for the last time it’s GOODNIGHT!
I’m a bit blown away that MS is being so disrespectful to its users as to knowingly allow the release of such problematic software. I spent a significant amount of money on a new high end PC specifically to run this program. I’m very disappointed if they are going to dumb it down for the masses and leave simmers with a hunk of junk.

Ask those with high end rigs that know how to tune and it is anything but dumbed down.
Well have a good night, but that doesn’t mean you get to dictate when I sleep too 
These crashes are not our fault. If we return to discussing rigs, cooling, overclocking, it will be like in the dark ages, when people would argue if it would be better to burn wiches or just their black cats to make the crops not fail. There was simply not much they could do.
We are in the same situation. These crashes are not our fault. It is not because we failed to perform a ritual, a prayer or any other magical action (like defragging a HD). It is up to the developers to fix this.
By the way, we were in this situation before, since the launch up to about December 2020 (at least in my personal experience). The game was crashing almost as frequently as it is now. But about January, the updates eventually made CTDs a thing of last year (for me, and I suppose many others). It all ended suddenly and drastically on SU5. Isn’t it obvious that these crashes are caused by the update and not by anything the players did or didn’t do to their rigs?

No idea, how can I find out?
It is very easy, you go to “THIS PC” and open it there you should have a list of disks or just a single disk installed on your PC. Right click on it and chose “PROPERTIES”.
Inside GENERAL tab which is the first one you should have “File system”: there you might see either ExFAT or NTFS".
I hope this helps

We totally agree with you @CassiKess, there is no doubt about that.
What people is trying to do inside this forum is to report issues and try to find a temporary solution so simmers could go back to the tarmac at least until MS/Asobo they find a real fix. Otherwise the complains IMHO should be made at Zendesk (the more we do, the more they realize is not a casual incident), here you can only find poor simmers like me and you struggling to avoid CTDs.
On my side the problem was caused by Legacy mouse mode (during CTD was in “lock” position as stated before by my friend @TheAviator3506 who I think is doing a great deal to help us all. His fix worked for me and a couple of people but not for everyone. I have other friends that fixed it by disabling AI Traffic, another who changed from an alternate drive to c:…
As you can see we are trying also to report all this small changes to Zendesk to help them find a real fix.
Speaking for myself if CTDs will happen again I will try to fix it for a limited period of time and then go back to XPLANE!

Thank you, I have done all of the suggestions, mostly twice. I am going out for the evening so I am about to commence my third re- install
Hello, how are you, colleagues?
For CTD’s you can try the following as it is working well for me and using A320 FBW.
1-Delete% tmp% (Everything that lets you delete inside said folder)
2-Delete cache within the Simulator and have it deactivated.
3-% tmp%
I personally always delete it before entering the Simulator.
It’s a bit annoying but I don’t save a CTD just in case.
I do not know if it is the solution but you can try and I hope this helps.
A greeting.
Good luck. Before you do I suggest swapping SATA cables around, I know it sound stupid but they can cause problems especially if they’ve been tightly bent.
Hello everyone,
I had my first CTD during a flight this morning after 2 plus hours.
My Installation is on its own D Drive and I have the Steam edition of the Premium Deluxe.
I am running an i7 10700 (NO OVERCLOCKING), 32GB DDR4 and an RTX2070 8 GB, settings high to ultra on 2K.
All Windows, GPU drivers fully updated - Windows 10 home.
To add insult to injury after it crashed to desktop mid flight, i go to launch the game and says i have a 29 GB update to download.
I just dont get it as CPU, GPU and RAM usage all perfectly within limits, nothing being overstressed.
The only thing I had in my community folder was the liveries megapack but I have cleared that for now.
