Anyone else seeing an issue with requesting the flight plan from Simbrief in the FMC? I’m able to sync and get the plan no issues on the tablet, but when I click the Import button on the FMC after aligning the IRS the sim does not freeze but all my peripherals no longer function. I can pan around with my mouse but I can’t click on anything. My VelocityOne buttons and throttles also no longer function.
Happened to me a few of times, but very rarely - maybe 2-3 times per ~100 flights and only in very dense areas/big airports. Unfortunately the only thing you can do is to restart the flight… A few other people also reported this bug here.

CTD after 3hr flight into Kennedy, will stay away from
NY for a while! Just a few minutes from KJFK and it was pitch black so little to no scenery. Oh well!
And apparently they fixed the CTD issue in SU15 
Had 3 last week, all trying to fly to Italy/Austria (alps region). I always had a lot of CTDs in that area, but thought that maybe SU15 fixed it. Nope.
Anyway, does anyone else experience A LOT of ctds around Alps (mainly Austrian part) and northern Italy?
For me, if I try to land in Innsbruck there is a 50% chance of ctd (!!!), same with Milan, Klagenfurt, Venice, Genoa… basically, I have to avoid whole Austria and northern Italy.
I often can land in Florence but I don’t remember the last time I was able to take off from there without a CTD. I am not sure it ever happened 
And that is not only with the 737, it is the same with the A320V2. No third party sceneries, so that is not the case.

Definitely a lot of CTDs after SU15, you are not alone, I get them every flight 
The Alps seem to be one of the worst parts of Europe regarding instability.
Was photogrammetry on or off?
PG on, live traffic off.
What is weird, French, German and Swiss parts of the Alps are quite ok for me, Italy and Austria are terrible.
@FusionTuna56332
WOW 
Where do you fly?
Btw.
I was flying all over Africa almost all May, 3-4 flights per day and got ZERO ctds…
Nowhere cos it just crashes 
@DaffyStraw55307
Flying the jets with PG on always caused me issues so I don’t do it anymore. On Xbox I definitely recommend keeping it off if not pottering around in a light piston at non-pressurised altitudes.
VFR = PG on
IFR = PG off
Yea, I should have asked “where do you try to fly?”
So it crashes EVERYWHERE? Like, even in the desert? If that is the case, try reinstalling the aircraft or the sim because generally it works quite good on xbox.
Any part of the European continent
I think you should try reinstalling the 737 or the whole sim… I regularly fly around Europe and the only problematic areas for me are northern Italy/Austria and surrounding countries sometimes (ie. Croatia/Slovenia near the border with Austria). Of course sometimes I have CTDs or other issues in other regions, but it is quite rare.
@UKairwaysTTV
But I really like to look around and appreciate the views on approaches 
I’ll check how Innsbruck or Genoa look like with PG off, but I don’t think I am going to like it
I already did the reinstall
That is weird. Are you on Series S or X?
S it’s too do with a runway lights glitch etc, they are actively working on it I believe
Ok, ‘S’ might be more prone to ctds unfortunately I tried flying the A310 on my girlfriend’s Series S and couldn’t even get it to load, constant ctds

Seemingly the PAPI was OK on this two hour flight although it wasn’t night and we didnt cross mountains.
Honestly depends, as the meme says, sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe…. @UKairwaysTTV
With the release of the PMDG 777 announced for later today, I can only assume it will have a Navigraph nav data package built in, with a single unlocked AIRAC cycle as a courtesy.
The PMDG 737 came with a Navigraph nav data package with AIRAC cycle 2204 (April 2022) which has no path to be updated on Xbox yet.
I would like to request Navigraph and PMDG unlock the same AIRAC cycle for the 737, so that all Xbox users could at least get the first nav data update for the 737 in over 2 years? This could be accomplished via a Marketplace update.
I know you have said you are working on a way to update Navigraph nav data on Xbox - but it has been over 2 years. Thanks for your consideration.

Not sure if the 777 has a weather radar but integration like the a320V2 of that would be epic also
