Every time I land at Megeve airport (LFHM) my system crashes to desktop. I first found this trying to finish the France bushtrip, but on further investigation, I have found it happens anytime with multiple different types of aircraft.
I can depart from Megeve ok, but not land. It normally crashes after I have touched down and before I have stopped.
I have renamed my community folder and created a new empty one and I am not running in developer mode.
Would any other fellow pilots be able to confirm if they can land ok and come to a fullstop at Megeve without a CTD. I don’t know if it’s a bug or something (I have no idea what) at my end.
UPDATE: I have also now had a couple of CTD’s when departing Megeve. It doesn’t happen everytime like landing. I have landed and departed at many other airports since and it only seems that Megeve is the problem.
No,I don’t have any mods installed.
Interestingly enough, a friend can land there but he has not updated any of the content manager stuff, so no new bush trips or world updates etc.
I wonder if it got bugged by one of those?

I did some testing this morning. CTD’s when landing on Megeve. With the standard Asobo scenery AND the payware Megeve from BKangles. BUT i did the same test with the heli A135 and found the weak spot on the landingstrip. CTD’s in the beginning of RWY 15 near the windsock. All other places on this airfield no CTD’s. Sincerely…
Did the same test with the Bell 47G from FlyInside. I landed everywhere, hole lenght of the RWY in both directions, two helipads, parking, etc… No CTD’s.
Thank you for your reply and for testing. I’m starting to firmly believe this is an Asobo problem with one of their more recent updates.
A ticket has been raised, so we’ll have to wait and see I’m afraid.
Thanks

Hello,
I have raised a ticket some time ago for a consistent CTD when lining up on the runway which means facing north after starting cold and dark from LFHM.
This does not happen when you start up and running from the runway but it happens when reaching the threshold during landing.
Correct. Could it be aircraft related? With GA ctd"s. With the heli’s A135 and Bell no ctd’s even landing on different places on the RWY facing north and south.
On a related point I find that if the game doesn’t CTD when pressing FLY it will freeze part way through the flight. The odd thing is that the freeze always seems to occur as I’m turning at the first waypoint of an IFR approach.
Soo here is the update, I can confirm windsock is the solution. I did testing with DA40 NG which is the bush trip plane. You should approach very slow and target the grass, land first on the grass and stop the plane before reach the windsock. Then there is no CTD. If you pass the windsock then no luck.
Here is a strange one. I have managed to land 3 times, including completeing the French Bush trip!
I don’t why ,how or even if this is a fix as I belive NicoDijon did this too and it didn’t fix his problems.
The steps I did were :-
1.I went to the Content manager in the profile section and highlighted the World Update IV:France, Belgium, Netherlands & Luxembourg and clicked delete
2. I mildly panicked thinking that I would have deleted the French bustrip so I went to the main menu/activities/bushtrip menu and saw the French bushtrip had indeed gone.
3. I went back to the content manager and selected the World Update IV to re-download.
4. Whilst I waited, I decide to try one more landing at Megeve in a C152. It CTD’d in the normal way just after landing.
5. I restarted MSFS 2020 and let the World Update IV finish downloading. When it was completed, I tried another landing at Megeve in a C152 and it didn’t crash! I taxied around a bit and still no crash.
6. I went back to the bush trip menu and the French bushtrip was back, still at 94% as before the world update deletion.
7. I selected the French Bush trip and clicked continue and took off from Courchevel on the last leg and landed fine at Megeve. Bush trip complete, checked off, bush trip now shows 100% complete
8. I went back in a TBM 930 and landed again, this time very early and taxied up the runway to the parking with no issues.
No idea why this fixed it, but I’m not calling a solution quite yet. I’ll try a few more landing first.
Good luck, hope this helps someone.

UPDATE: I have sucessfully landed multiple time in the Cub. I have slowky taxied up and down the runway and stopped at various point. I have taxied onto the parking and departed multiple times with no crashes or problems. Maybe one of the later updates corrupted something in World Update IV? I’ve really no idea. I’m going to reinstate my community folder and do a bit more testing later. Let me know if this helps anyone please
