While there is some threads that I read through most of them give an error message like the example you gave. I get nothing. Just true CTD NO error message. There is one massive thread that is just filled with all random advice that dates back to launch and same again even though the title says “no error message” most people are posting their CTD followed by what error they are getting in the comments.
Personally I think it has to do with traffic and servers/internet. Last night I installed the Xbox pc app and was able to complete a 45 minute flight. The only other change I made was changing the traffic models to the high res ones instead of the generic low res ones. I’ll try a longer flight today and see how it goes and update this post.
I have never experienced CTD’s until after the December update. I’ve tried all of the advice and the only thing that works is turning all traffic, both live and AI off, I have noticed something though that appears to be linked to the CTD’s with no error messages. I am using Neofly to give me some added interest in the sim. Normally I choose a flight in Neofly, set it up in the sim and then connect in Neofly. I have had absolutely no issues until now. What I have noticed is that about 10 minutes before the CTD, Neofly disconnects from the server. The CTD always follows after this. The problem is not with Neofly because it happens whenever I have live traffic enabled when not using Neofly. All I am saying is that I was noticing the disconnection from the Microsoft server via Neofly and that lead me to believe that this is 100% a server issue.
It is increibly frustrating to suffer from random CTD. Like many others I purchased a new computer system for the sim and have been rewarded with these random CTD.
I have tried many things without success, I do notice before the CTD the game starts to pause briedly during flight with the simulated radio “static” sound at the end of the transmition. The graphocal pause lasts as long as the noise and then carries on - this is a pretty good indication that I am going to get a CTD.
The last CTD shows the followig in event viewer, is this fairly standard with others?
After weeks of experiencing zero CTD events, I got seven or eight in a row yesterday, in the same A/C, at the same place on the map. So, I did what I’ve done in the past (this is the fourth time I’ve resorted to this fix… it’s a lot of work.)
Go to Settings; select Apps; scroll to Microsoft Flight Simulator. Click on the title and then click on Advanced Options in blue.
Along the left-hand side you should see options that look like the screenshot below.
Click Reset… you should get a check mark once that process is complete.
Start Flight Sim using “Run as Administrator.”
Now for the fun part: the entire base code will reinstall. (I do this overnight, because it takes some time to complete even with a fast connection.)
Once complete you’ll need to open Content Manager and reinstall the A/C and options you want. Depending on how fast your internet is and how much content you want, this can also take some time to complete.
Quit Flight Sim and reinstall clean copies of each mod you use. Make certain they’re the “latest and greatest” so as not to cause any issues.
Restart Flight Sim and - hopefully - you will be able to fly without CTD events.
It’s a hassle, but this method has worked for me every time.
To test the results, I flew the exact same route in the same A/C today: no CTD event.
I am also experiencing randomly occuring CTD without any valuable error message… I think it occured after the latest update last month (don’t exactly know because I was not playing for a period of time and missed one update in between)
In my case, the workaround for me was disabling the air-traffic (AI- and LIVE-Traffic). I hope MS/ASOBO does have a bugfix on their list for the next update.
I hope they provide more error details/logs in future to help to better identify/analyze bugs by ourselves.

Since two months, I thought that all my CTDs in that area were to do with scenery. I continued with my flights in that area. Still I was getting CTDs in the same location vicinity. I undertook a number of completely mod free flights (empty Community folder), in and out of VHHH. In exactly the same spots I encountered CTDs. Obviously there is a buggy thing there.
I don’t have rolling cache and photogrammetry is turned off.
The CTD is the same, a short sound stutter and a freeze of a couple of seconds and I’m looking at my blank desktop!
On water, on land and overflying. Because it has been happening regularly I looked at all operational situations, including operations from and to VHHH and VHSX.
