Is it me or are certain “handcrafted “ airports just untouchable. DFW. SIN JFK and now LAX are untouchable for me all they do is constantly crash the sim whenever I try to fly into or load into them. And no it has nothing to do with any addons again I’ve tested with the full vanilla sim I’ve checked my files for duplicates. Even tried it on my Xbox to be double sure and sure enough it still crashes. DFW has been untouchable for months for me. Since it wasn’t the addons I added them back and proceeded to test at least 60 other airports around the world with no isssue I’ve egen loaded at said addons (Glasgow, DCA, Edinburgh,and Charlotte) flying in and out with no issue. Seriously every single SU update I’ve lost an airport to fly to and it seems the issues is spreading only amongst handcrafted airports. WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!? Is this the same thing that plagued the Potomac area a while ago for a few months? I was thinking that maybe getting addon airports and then deleting the “handcrafted” ones would fix this… is that a possibility. I’m at a loss I could understand if addon airports are having that issue but for the ones they have the nerve to call handcrafted to cause this is… weird and unacceptable IMO.
So it clearly has something to do with your system or installation of MSFS. I fly out of DFW and JFK literally daily if not weekly. No issues at all.
You can do an easy solve (potentially) by going into your Content Manager, then deleting specific airports and redownload them via Content Manager again. Maybe your files are corrupt?
I’ve done all of that already even done a full reinstall of the sim. And added them one by one still absolutely nothing but crashes there. I’ve ran through files after file had my friend run a system check to see if there was any corrupted or duplicate files everything seemed fine. My next effort is to eliminate the US world update and see if that helps I’ve combed through everything for hours.
Have you tried since the last update? I noticed that several KDFW files were downloaded then. I fly there too with no problems, but it IS a major graphics hog. I used it as a barometer (no pun intended) to tweak my settings to get rid of the dreaded ‘Limited by Main Thread’ problem. Also, one thing you could try is to reduce your graphics all the way down to as low as possible (every setting, even setting NVidia back to default if you have one. That would at least lead to eliminating your graphics settings. Best of luck.
I’ll give it another shot.
Just FYI.
I just did an ILS into 36R with no issues. No mods of any kind installed except WU’s, including latest WU.

Not to be a drag, but just doublechecking if you have the rolling cache turned to the “off” position?
Hope you get stuff sorted, as those are definately go-to airports!

Dame here. Got excited to see DFW updated. Atill a mess. Missing entire terminals and half of the aircraft crash immediately.
Is this post SU13 beta roll out?
Nah it’s fine now but it still looks like an utter piece of crap. I’m really hoping fs2024 does a better job of handcrafted airport.
Last thing I saw from Jorg is they expect a new DFW “by end of year or early 2024”. Not sure why DFW has been such an issue since release. Wait and Hope for the best.

Well, after the last update this scenery is still garbage, with floating ground clutter and taxi lights and, most egregiously, blurry ground textures.
Fix this already, MS.
I have to agree, I see no difference in SU15. I’m on Xbox and I’ve never seen KDFW complete. It usually has one or two fairly complete terminals and then just disassociated gates and cars at the remainder.
Very disappointing seeing as this was the response during the last livestream:
I’m convinced that KDFW is the in-sim equivalent of the hellmouth.
