Hi @EricFlightUS ,

Thank you for this report. We’ve moved your topic into the User Support Hub.

Using the template or providing all the relevant information about your bug and sim setup is required in order to provide valuable information, feedback, and replication steps to our test team.

If you are not sure if your issue is a bug or need further input from the community, please use the User Support Hub category. If the community can replicate your issue, first search the Bug category to see if there’s an existing topic. If it already exists, contribute to that report. Duplicate bug reports will be closed.

If you believe it is a new report and no duplicate exists, then create a new bug topic using the provided topic template.

All issues caused by or involving third-party addons/mods should be reported to the third-party developer. Assure that no addons/mods are used when reporting issues in Bug Reports.

Cannot replicate, starting with same conditions at parking 42, no freeze observed after a couple of minutes.

If any Marketplace addons, do you also have them disabled ?

Everything is vanilla (default). I tried flying in last night (while livestreaming and flying into KAGC and with tons of addons like usually do) https://www.youtube.com/live/ku2fPXT9YRg?si=m-qEHDiAy5fmHCxC (see around 1:06:30 and 1:33:32) and it kept freezing everytime I was on final or in the pattern at KAGC

I have:

  • deleted shader cache
  • reset the sim to it’s original settings
  • had Steam check for corrupted files
  • reinstalled both versions separately of the sim (SU3 and SU4 beta)
  • installed newest Nvidia Drivers

I am seeing you have parked aircraft. Could you provide a screenshot of your graphic options with parked aircraft and traffic aircraft settings ?
(I use ms-store version, SU4, AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 16GB Ram, RTX2060 Super)

It is default ultra settings which always worked everywhere else

The only thing I changed is resolution to 4k

Traffic is set to live

I have also activated parked and online traffic, still no issue.

If you switch back to how it was ?

Same problem…it freezes

Let’s see if others can reproduce.
