Also, just wanted to post this as well, a very good freeware version of the airport that I use when flying in the UK.

Been using that free one heaps over the past year or so-glad ini’s doing Stanstead justice and another instant buy for me.
Constant CTD if spawning from this on X box X at the moment - anyone having issues?

Discussion going on about this in the Xbox/PMDG performance thread. I bought it Thursday night and I’ve flown in/out of there around 12-15 times now and had black screens once and a CTD once (on separate occasions).
My guess is that either the new livery packs or other third-party scenery in that area is causing problems for some.
Seems okay to me but I’m very careful not to venture out of cockpit view too much while in the vicinity of the airport. Could do with a bit of further optimisation for Xbox. Considering the beautiful terminal interior and the super-detailed monorail thing it performs pretty well, though.
That’s interesting I thought it might be related to the PMDG but I can’t get it load even in the cirrus - I’ll try starting airborne and see if I can land!
I can’t even fly near the airport with CTD
Confirm constant CTD at this airport on Xbox on approach and on final approach. Is unusable at the moment.
I’ve reached out to IniBuilds who say they looking into issues no update this week in market place though

I have purchased EGSS today but have not had a chance to try it out. I will give you my feed-back once I have done so.
I have now had a chance to try EGSS, I have had no issues. I flew the Citation Longitude. When I was getting new constant crashes at CYYC and CYVR, I reinstalled the latest driver and crucially made no changes to the driver using the NVCP. If I leave the driver settings alone, the CTD’s go away. This is a new phenomena for me, where fiddling with the driver settings upsets the simulator and kills it with a CTD.
Using a Windows PC.

I bought CYYC Calgary from the Market Place. I have similar CTD’s with that airport too. This may not be confined to EGSS!

Bought this last week for the series x and I’ve only been able to load into it once with the pmdg 737 without black screens or CTD’s. Looks great, but a lot of optimization needs to done as at the moment, it’s yet another waste of money on console.

I’m guessing no developer ever gets the chance to test their work on XBOX until it’s been published on the MP. it’s a closed eco so how could they. I can only think they have had a memo from MS telling them how to downgrade for xbox but are unable to test before publication.
There is no need to downgrade for X Box and no products are - however it’s important that products are optimised for XBox because of the way it uses shared memory.

Spot on. Two of my friends are PC simmers (with mid–range systems) and both have been impressed with the sim on Xbox — one so much so that he’s thinking of swapping his PC for an Series X!
The Series X’s GPU is a difficult one to compare to a PC example because it runs 4K natively, however the best comparison I’ve seen puts it somewhere between a 3070 and 4080. So it’s hardly a slouch!
The issues are always memory-related, hence the need for proper console optimisation. And I’m not buying that it takes too much work to adapt products, since Pyreegue reworked EGNX in just over a day!
Speaking of EGNX, let’s not forget that Xbox is (until tonight) running this exactly as it was designed for top-spec PCs. Aside from the odd CTD, that’s testament to how well the Xbox actually runs the sim.

Maybe you’re right but a Series X has 12 TFLOPS versus 20 TFLOPS for a 3070 and 48 TFLOPS for the 4080.
That the Xbox Series X runs 4K natively makes the comparison very difficult. The comparison is made by people far more in the know than me so I trust their judgement — it’s whether they’re right, not whether I’m right.
A car’s performance is not judged solely on the HP of the engine.
Just noticed we have an Xbox upset this evening - anything to improve performance on console, I wonder?
IniBuilds Stansted has been updated instant crash on XBox as soon as I tried the update after a restart I’ll try again
Edit: no CTD second time after a reload of the sim - but popping in still terrible - this still needs some work
Edit 2 - arriving in Cirrus Jet black screen on arrival and then CTD to be fair to a IniBuilds I am on the beta this may have a bearing but Pyreegue EGNX is fine
Seems the update did go some way towards optimising further - the static aircraft have gone, as have the terminal interior and animated MAGLEV.
Does seem marginally better but I did just get black screens after a couple of minutes’ drone use. I’d rather have kept the detail for so little improvement.
