CTD in Career Mode`

Since SU5, almost every one of my career missions ends in a CTD. It always happens just after skip to descent. It says Flaps Overspeed then locks up and disappears.

I’ve tried restarting the sim, rebooting the computer, renaming my community folder, validating the files in steam, and an uninstall reinstall of all core components. Nothing has helped. Any more suggestions?

How close are you to the airport after you skip?
Otherwise I can only suggest using sim rate and don’t skip.
If it is after you are under 10000ft going over max flaps speed - you don’t really say - it should just ding you and not CTD the mission.

What is your set up before you skip? How is it set up once it has skipped and at what ALT are you at and howmany Kts are you doing at that point? Are you able to set her up for a lower speed and no flaps?

It would be good if you could unpick all of these settings and process’ and then post back here or if you feel it might be a bug after SU5, then make a bug report.

Usually, about 10 miles from the airport straight out but that varies by mission.

Flaps overspeed after a skip is a known problem. Happens quite often and yes, it used to just ding me and move on. It has nothing to do with the flaps because it has done it when it didn’t come out of skip with flaps down.

Setup before skip is to bring the required altitude back to where I am at. i.e. If it says 36000, I start requesting decreases until I get it down to 10,000 or less then skip. At that point, I am usually on autopilot change level mode doing 190kts. The setup before the skip has nothing to do with the setup after the skip.

The more important factor is that nothing has changed. It was working fine for a couple of weeks straight before SU5, now it’s nearly all CTDs. Every once in a while a mission will get through and complete. Even a mission that has already crashed once so it has nothing to do with the mission.

Just for reference, I’ve already “played through” career mode twice. The last time I stopped at 2 billion credits. I haven’t changed anything in what I’m doing.

I am sure you are very good at career mode but if anyone had any thoughts about how to help they need information :grinning_face: :wink:.
In this instance it seems like the SU update has broken the skip system.

Is it worth a bug report?

A little more information. It applies only to the 737 at this point. I just flew 3 successful missions with the Saab 340. I switched back to the 737, flew one successful mission, on the 2nd one, CTD.

As for being worth a bug report, it makes the top end of career mode unplayable. I could just fly the Saab, but you make credits 10 times faster in the 737 and the goal is to make credits.
