MSFS bug or PMDG bug during flight planning?

I use SimToolkitPro regularly. Today I attempted 2 flights.

Setting up a flight plan resulted in the sim crashing during six different attempts (approx 80% of the time). When you get the 737-600 setup at the gate and press ‘FLT PLAN REQUEST’, the sim immediately freezes. The only way out is through the task manager and force-close MSFS. I was lucky to finally catch it on video.

It started since Sim Update 12 was released. There have been no issues since before this time. I’m curious if anyone else has seen this yet? Is it a MSFS bug or a PMDG bug? I don’t know who to share this with so I’m putting this in both forums. Hopefully it can be ironed out soon.

Thanks.

What happens if you enter the destination? Anything with square boxes on the CDU is a mandatory entry. FWIW, I have flown half a dozen flights with the PMDG 737 and importing a flight plan and have had no issues. I don’t know if it’s relevant, but my flight plans are from SimBrief rather than SimToolkitPro.

I’ve manually typed in a destination a couple times without an issue, but I haven’t spent much time actually entering a full flight plan manually. It’s only been a couple days since SU12 has been released.

This problem appears to occur only when hitting that ‘request’ key. If I can get past that (which I have a couple times), the rest goes smoothly except for the usual MSFS bugs. There doesn’t appear to be a reason why it works sometimes, and other times it doesn’t.
