ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

Last two flights, when approaching the destination airport, after about an hour or flight time, The sim completely freezes, and needs to be shutdown via the task manager. This started yesterday, and happened again today. The airports where not 3rd party, nor were they Asobo airports, specifically GMML and CYBL

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?

Occurred both times I have used the sim since latest NVIDIA DLSS 4.5, but has also occurred in the part while using SU3.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Take off from GMAT, in Piper Comanche or C172

  2. SIM freezes during the descent between 15-20 nm from destination. Overflying other airports did not cause the freeze.
