Occasionally, yea. I can typically do 1-2 hours fine. Then one in a while it happens after 5 minutes.
like my photo, you got Axe 1 and Axe 2 with 0 - 100%
The Realtek audio driver shouldn’t have any influence. All games and applications using the standard Windows APIs communicate with an userland mixer, which is a separate process (like another application) and always the same. Said mixer then sends the data to the audio driver. MSFS is de facto isolated from the audio driver.

Same here.
new advice from developer =>
nVidia drivers and GeForce Experience: some versions of the nVidia drivers are known to generate CTD problems with MSFS. In particular 497.09 were problematic.
In general most users have a good experience with 497.29 or 496.76. Some users also needed to unistall GeForce Experience.
I will try this

It’s not the Realtek driver per se, it’s the Nahimic audio enhancement nonsense that is often bundled with it by OEMs and system-integrators like MSI and ASUS. Google “Nahimic service game crashes” and you’ll find dozens or hundreds of links to Reddit posts, game forums, Steam forums, etc. for a lot of different games, not just MSFS.
The standard Realtek audio drivers themselves are just fine.
Already tried, still CTDs.

Well, that didn’t take long. Updated the Visual Studio things, loaded up the F35B, took off, CTD within 5 minutes. Oh well, didn’t expect anything else.

" Some may have seen in the other thread that I’ve been in FS hell since the new update with constant CTD’s happening anywhere from the loading screens to part way into a flight. I would get a CTD every time without fail.
I even tried a full reinstall of MSFS to no avail, I lost count of how many times it CTDed just installing the Content Manager files.
Well thanks to some guys over at the official forum I’m 99.9% sure I’ve fixed it and it was down to something called Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer. This ■■■■■■ thing was installed a few days ago by a Windows update and there doesn’t seem to be any way to uninstall it.
If your having CTD’s check to see if this thing snuck onto your system and disable it.
Just open the Control Panel and choose sound and scroll through the installed devices it will be listed as Speakers Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer.
Double click it and at the bottom where it says Device Usage change it from Use this Device (Enable) to Don’t Use This Device (Disable)
Since doing this I’ve Done about half a dozen flights and haven’t had a single CTD

Well, I’m going to keep things how they are. All I did was try moving it from the left column to the right column. It didn’t work, so I put it back to how it was. I just now tried and now the throttle is working under the previous settings in which it wasn’t.
I was going to mess around with the key bindings but when I hit the throttle, it somehow worked. I hope it stays this way.
I have had the F-35 since launch day, and probably have around 25-30 hours in the jet so far. Half of that is probably just idling while using my pc for other means(multiple monitors). I have many other applications running, visual studio code, eclipse, streaming service websites, discord, you name it, all at the same time.
I have yet to have a CTD in this jet since launch.
I’m not coming on here to say you guys are doing anything wrong, obviously people and their systems are having issues, not doubting that. Just informing you all, that there are folks out here that have never had CTD’s with with jet.
Regarding the most recent attempt at a remedy,
Isn’t “Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer” something that comes with ASUS motherboards, or did?
I don’t have an ASUS mobo, so this has never been part of my sound options.
Would be interesting if all the people having CTD’s have ASUS boards.
I’m on a gigabyte Z390 mobo.
Hope you all are able to find a solution soon.
MSI 1200 Meg Z490 Ace
yes, Sonic sound thingie comes with ASUS mainboards. As I uninstalled it while ago as soon I realized it’s in my system, I cannot confirm if it helps with CTD’s or not (I don’t have regular CTD’s and don’t have F-35) . And for disabling audio devices, I would recommend disabling ALL audio devices except the ones, you are using, until you are sure they do not cause CTD’s. And for guy above, that bad sound drivers cannot cause CTD - YES they definitely can cause CTD’s and not just in MSFS. It’s good habit to take care of your system and update the drivers from time to time.
When first got the F35… Five minutes into the flight would get CTD.
Then renamed (emptied) community folder. did not get CTD with A & C variants… only get CTD with B variant.
After the latest beta updated… the CTD returned minutes into the flight.
Few days ago… no more CTDs
And today even with community folders full of third parties add-ons have not get any CTD
I did not do any thing different. did not install or remove any softwares/drivers.
The computer is purely for flight simulator FS2020.
The only things changed I can think of … are the data downloaded from microsoft server for the every flight.
I’ve been in the air for around an hour without any problems. Fingers crossed. The PG is terrible right now though. These servers…
Finally installed my production copy. For a lark, flew the Charlie for a VFR leg of about half an hour on my US Rte 20 Coast-to-Coast flight to check, and it did not CTD. Now, a couple of things that are different - very little scheduled Offline Traffic where I was, and I did VFR without Flight Following, so there wasn’t any ATC voice traffic. Beyond that, it acted just as it did during Beta, which is to say, as expected.

Hey,
My workaround (slightly different) but seems to work for now. I unassigned it from Throttle axis and assigned the throttle to axis 1,2,3,4 to get the planes affected by the issue to accept throttle.
P.S. Nice flying with ya yesterday in the Canyon!

…what I said earlier
Great flying with you! Lots of people don’t attempt to fly as low as you were. I know I fly low and fast but I have lots of practice and based on how I see most people attempt it, you for sure have some big huevos 
I’ll try this suggestion. If it doesn’t work, I will wait until this throttle issue is settled for sure. These guessing games trying to figure out what works can cause frustration so I’ll just wait. I can still see other F35’s in the meantime, I just can’t fly with them.
