Hello, I would like to take a super long-haul flight in 2024 (8,000- 9,000NM), and I am wondering about the likelihood of encountering a crash when running the simulation for such a long time. So what are the chances I will be able to complete the flight without a crash?
My GPU is a Radeon RX 6600 and CPU is Ryzen 5 500 and I have 16GB of RAM.
Thanks
Absolutely appalling. CTDs all the time.
You raise a good point here. I wonder how many big jets do these long, long haul flights due to folk having limited leisure time to test this.
It will be interesting to see the results of points of view.
Doing long hauls often (between 6-8 hrs) and allthough I had to do some tweaking I have zero CTDās atm without loss of performance ir issues I read in other oter posts
Done a few long hauls of 8+ hours in the stock A330 and PMDG 772 and never had a CTD or any major issue.
Youāll get a lot of different answers to this question as mileage seems to vary an awful lot. Some people like myself have never had a major issue in 2024, while others canāt seem to run it for more than 5 minutes without a CTD.
I also have no problems on long hauls with PMDGās B-777F.
I do not experience CTDs from MSFS2024, well, I do, but mostly thatās from loading in or from the menu, and that can be attributed to the same ongoing errors with Nvidia.
But I do not trust MSFS2024 enough, I have down long houal flights 
But since SU3, I have not. Ever since SU2 and now SU3, Iām getting high CPU usage to the point that I canāt use it as Iām getting too high CPU usage at 100%
Exactly this. In my case Iāve been in both sides. Iāve done some long hauls without issues, others crashing mid flight, and also have had CTDs while inserting a plan into the FMS or at taxi for take off. Itās not a reliable experience.
Thanks. What about 2020? I still have it installeed so I might do my flight on that if itās more stable.
I only fly FS2020 and on my system it is absolutely stable and reliable, even on long flights.
No issues for me flying long haul in FS24 (Steam), using third party aircraft, such as the PMDG 777.
I was having great stability with long hauls but within the last couple days every one I try to do, using the same routes and same planes that worked a few days ago, results in a crash. Sometimes itās after 12 hours, sometimes after 5 or 6. Nothing to really go off of other than an application crash in the event log that points to the ā24 exe.
unlike others i very rarely, if ever, experience CTDās
what i do experience in 2024 more often than in 2020 when flying airliners are the various flavours of wasm crashes, frozen screens, unresponsive cockpits, etc
both in ported 2020 a/c as well as in ānativeā 2024 aircraft, such as the warthog
Thank you, I can see how that would not be very pleasant. I think I will use 2020 for my long-haul needs for now.
with Nvidia driver version 576.28 been super stable. Iām talking inibuilds a350, Fenix and PMDG 777, no CTDs or wasm crashes.
The new drivers are a total disaster. Constant CTDs even during pushback.

In Free Flight Mode stability is decent. In Career Mode, stability falls off at 3 hours and worsens thereafter. Landing a 5+ hour flight in the bugged to no end 737 MAX 8 is extremely tricky at that point.
Iāve done Amsterdam to Newark in the PMDG 777-200 with zero issue. About 6ish hours, not sure about going 10+hours as Iāve never done it. I do want to fly KDFW to Incheonā¦ 14+ hours in the 777-200
Flawless for me. Iāve done long-hauls in the PMDG 777-200ER of up to 14 hours (KFSO - VHHH), and numerous runs ranging from 2 - 9 hours in the 777F (e.g, KLAX - KSEA; VHHH - PANC; PANC - KMEM; KEWR - KMEM; etc.) No problems with any of them.
Just yesterday I did 6-1/2 hours of VFR flight in the Grumman Albatross all the way down the U.S. Atlantic coast, from KIBD Block to St. Simons Island, Georgia, though this was spread over two legs, one of 4.5 hours, the other of about 2 hours. But although I quit the first leg and started a new flight for the second, I did not restart the sim, which ran for over 7 hours in this session. The first leg included a circumnavigation of Manhattan in the densest scenery area I have: IniBuilds KJFK, SamScene3D New York City Times, MK Studios KLGA, RK Bridger NY Bridges, and Drzewiecki KEWR, all within load/rendering distance at various points within minutes of each other. The flight was at altitudes ranging from around 1,200ā - 3,000ā dodging weather. The sim handled it all for me with no stability or performance issues.
