Build Version # when you first started experiencing this issue:

Sim Update 9

This started with sim update 9. Makes the game unplayable for me. When starting cold and dark aircraft, pressing BAT1&2 +GP starts everything exept all screens. Still not fixed after hotfix, which is very dissapointing.

Just happened again during takeoff. Can happen in any flight phase i suppose. All screens black and a lag spike.

How can you break something that worked perfectly fine before SU9! Im not flying jets anymore until this get fixed.

This is still happening! Please look into it!

Totally agree. Happening to me too and many other I reckon. Needs looking into ASAP. I cant plan no flights now seeing as I only Fly IFR.

IFR is still impossible to fly this way and i cannot believe im not seeing more posts about this particular issue… been happening for months now.

Did a couple of ILS approaches into Brussels and the displays went black directly after “fly now”. Restarted 3 times and got blank displays every time. Not until after restarting the sim I got working displays.

Starting to have this exact same issue. When starting the aircraft cold and dark their are no displays loading up.

I was having issues before with displays dropping out on landing.

Not sure if this has to do with 3rd party airports or not. Haven’t been able to do that much testing to figure it out.

Same issue on PC version since latest update.

From cold and dark, when batteries selected, voltages read zero. same issue with or without selecting Ext. Power. Avionics and Engine Management screens black. Happens on A320 and 747

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?

Yes. I switch on batteries 1 and 2 and then external power and either 1) the pfd, FMC and all other screens remain black (yes, I’ve checked the brightness) or 2) they do come on but shortly after (within 5 minutes) go black.

Just start a flight with the A320. It doesn’t happen every time, but at least 70% of the time

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?

Yes, and it’s not just the A320. It happens in the 747-8i and the Cessna Citation. I think it happens mostly in the 747 because I’m yet to actually have a successful flight in that plane

It is happening to me also in different planes including helicopters. Sometime the displays remain for two minutes than they disappear suddenly or the won’t show up from the beginning on. Is there any workaround. It happened in different versions of MSFS2020 - even after bigger updates…
