Hi MSFS2020 with sim update 16 is causing CTD at the top of New Zealand’s South Island Please note, the first flight was from NZAA to NZCH, when I got to the top of the south island I got a CTD. So I tried it again with the same result. I then tried to load into NZWN, the sim loaded fine. So I t…

Hi @NaturedDart5014 I didn’t try all the airports you mentioned, but I did load into NZKM with a flight to NZMK and didn’t have any issues. I then reversed the flight and started from NZKM going back to NZMK and didn’t have any issues. I don’t have any add-on’s on my test download, and I’m not ru…

Hi I believe I have narrowed this down to the points of interest in world update XII New Zealand. If I uninstall the points of interest I can load into a flight at NZNS however if I reinstall the points of interest I again get the CTD when loading a flight at the top of NZ south Island. Is there a…

Same here, almost immediate CTD when starting a cold-and-dark flight at NZTL. I hadn’t even turned the engines on yet, just went into external view to look around, and then it crashed. This is definitely new behaviour as only 4 days ago I visited and flew from this exact airport in the final (1.39.9…

[image] NaturedDart5014: If I uninstall the points of interest Is there a way to uninstall just the points of interest? I can confirm that the problem goes away if I delete the entire 12GB world update for New Zealand, but then I lose all the hand-crafted airports too, which is half the fun …

[image] CaphollandX: Is there a way to uninstall just the points of interest? Short answer is “yes you can”. Go into content manager, find and select the WU NZ, then press the “unpackage” button I’ve got the red arrow on. [WU NZ opening package1] It will then show every subset of the WU, a…

Hi FYI I reinstalled the NZ points of interest and tried a flight from NZTL. Same result as you have CTD. Uninstalled the NZ POI, The sim loaded into NZTL fine I raised a ticket, the support team have been back in contact several time but can provide no help as the seam to feel I am the only one …

Hi team. Another factor in this CTD may be your DirectX version. I was in DX12 mode when the CTD occurred. If I switch to DX11 mode, then the CTD does not happen, even with the POIs still installed. Give that a try.

I am having the same issue. Fine when departing NZWN, but around FL160 I CTD on the way to NZCH. Has only happened since the update. [IMG_6291]
