Sim crash after almost 2hrs Japan discovery tour

Just did the Japan discovery tour. After short of 2 hours flying close to arriving at Haneda Intl. the sim crashed hard. As you can imagine quite frustrating. Any one experienced the same?

Cheers!

Yes.

Try turning off Multiplayer while doing the Japan tour flight, it may help, or set MP models to generic,

To “resume” your flight, you can load it back in, and use “Y” slew mode to move your plane hyper fast along the waypoints to where you crashed and just hit “Y” again to resume mid air. It takes a little while but since I do not believe this flight is tied to any achievement or ranking I think using slew mode is acceptable when dealing with a crash.

Also make sure the VFR map is either always off and dont click it, or it starts up automatically and you keep it minimized or open.

I ended up crashing about 3 times before I helped things by turning off MP. Slewed back each time.

Hope that helps.

Everytime I reach mount Fuji, the game crashed without error… I’ll try turning off MP…

I did an IFR flight yesterday evening from Nagasaki to Tokyo, wasn’t part of the Japan Discovery Tour, I was in the Airbus A320 Neo (not modded) at FL390, when I got close to Mt Fuji, I got a CTD with no error message, very frustrating.

Same with me.. twice now, just as I turn north toward Mount Fuji, it crashes to desktop, I’m assuming, at the exact same point. Really annoying as you’ve got to fly about 2 hours into the tour before it happens. Second time around I made sure I didn’t open the VFR map so I don’t think its related to that known issue.

I’ve rarely had a CTD before in any other activity or just with free flying but this one seems very specific to the Tour of Japan.

It’s disappointing not to be able to get this achievement but I don’t have patience to do another 2 hour flight just for it to crash in the exact same place :frowning:

Same happened to me , my first ctd ever…wierd

Yes. Had CTD a couple of times early in the flight. Turned of Azure text to speech and managed to get further, but as with others just reaching/passing the Fuji waypoint, sound stuttered and CTD.

Today I turned off multiplayer and real time traffic too. Used AP and increased sim rate to max (make sure alt is 8,000 ft plus to avoid porpoising in to terrain). Switched back to normal sim rate prior to Fuji waypoint and completed it fine.

I was not doing the discovery tour, but just tried 3 flights in a row around Japan, kept CTD. First time it has ever done that. Also pulling up the VFR map causes at automatic crash.

Never did the Japan disovery flight, but I just attempted the USA East Coast Discovery Flight and I “discovered” a CTD right when I was approaching Washington D.C.

MP is off by default for me, so is any kind of aircraft traffic.

p.s: this sim needs a periodic autosave feature that saves EVERYTHING, including the flight plan in the GPS and the fuel status, because losing over an hour of flight progress without an option to resume where the sim crashed is really far from great.
