I did two flights into San Francisco the last two days. One from Boise and one from Portland. Both times using the Leggs.BDEGA3 arrival.
The sim crashed just outside of San Francisco (see track on Map attached) the first day. So I updated my Nvidea drivers and did another flight yesterday again using the same arrival. Again the sim crashed (CTD) at exactly the same spot.
Obviously I will avoid that STAR from now on. I wonder however, is that something on my machine? Or have others experienced something similar in the past?

probably a conflicting mod. try with a empty community folder.

Or issues with local scenery cache, if used.
ATC interaction has been known to crash the sim, and I’ve personally had that many times.
Issues with Blackshark AI generation, and changing autogen quality can get around that.

As suggested, try flying that route with no mods aside from the Fenix.

I had a similar issue in the Gulf Of Mexico, could make it crash at same spot everytime.

Yes, some users have found specific points that will cause a CTD due to a scenery glitch.

But you would have thought others would have noticed if one such spot was on a STAR for a major airport? At least it makes it easier for others to try to replicate.

Thank you All for your help. Yep, it was something in the Community Folder.
Now adding them back one by one. sigh Luckily I only have 14 items
Thanks again :slight_smile:

Would you post which item is causing your problem? I’ve been able to duplicate the crash using the same STAR. Thx!

that would mean flying the same route possibly 14 more times. Will take a while

ok I kept having CTDs with empty community folder and cleared cash. Now I switched back from DX12 to DX 11 and the last two flights no problems.
lets hope
