Check your pc power settings. Could be a drive being put to sleep.

3

haven’t even thought about that ngl, i have a 8TB HDD alongside my 2x 4TB nvme’s.
windows set that as 20min to sleep, i’ll set it to 999999 minutes and see if that is the issue or not.

4

unfortunately it still happens even tho i disabled all sleep functions on HW.
so it’s not related to that.

5

Did you disable the sleep settings on any PC ports that the sim is using (controllers etc)?

6

i have disabled every power saving sleep features that i saw, went through the whole list.

7

I had no freezes …. But the pmdg 737 spoiler extending when returning from 30 mins AFK

AFK certainly triggers stuff

8

i’ve had this in the fenix and pmdg planes i flew as well.

9

issue fixed itself when i went back from windows 11 to windows 10.
might be something Asobo should look at.
