I have the same problem. Every day at 00:10, this error occurs, I restart the game and then everything is fine. It’s not convenient! Since I have to plan flights in the evening so that I can complete it before 00:10. If I forget or for other reasons do not have time to complete it, then 2 hours of time just disappear.
just had it now at 22.58…its usually more around 00.00 so i thought to sneak in a quick flight…but no. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING after loading 15mins till in the plane and then fly for what 1h and have it cancled with no reward
Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?

• I have this one once a day. This is very frustrating, if it appears after a 2 hours flight.
Geez, stucked again by that stupid bug !
Any way to have a quick resolve to that ? At least, I propose a reminder in the sim at 11:30 PM that says : “stop playing, go to bed, it’s nearly midnight ans MS don’t want you playing at this time”

I knew it was coming. The error I avoided for the one and half month since it appeared in my first medium cargo flight, finding this thread and realizing my mistake. Yet, for a reason even unknown to me, I kept going.
I knew it was coming. I planned to accelerate sim rate to be able to finish the 5 hour flight over the himalajas that I planned to do over 3 hours. The scenery was beautiful, but the winds treacherous. The aircraft violently shook for any more than normal sim rate. The time was ticking. The skip to decent option seemed more and more attractive, and so did finishing the flight just in time. How many times I landed and just rocked through to the taxiways without clearance to be able to skip to shutdown just a minute before midnight.
I hesitated to skip, with some sort of a twisted desire to fly the aircraft to the destination. But the time went on, the aircraft struggled in the winds and I was fixated at the clock and the top of decent on the nav. I passed the point, where even if I would skip, I wouldn’t make it. It was over, and I knew it. A faint hope remained that there might be some miracle and the error just won’t appear, but of course I knew it as the time ticked away, any second, it’s there, and I can hardly do anything about it. I set up for approach, just like I would normally, maybe this will cause the hidden forces to have mercy, and as soon as I did, it was there. It was fate, driven by me and executed by the devs. A stark reminder of the limitations of aircraft, of human aspiration and of the untameable time.

Happens to me if I’m in a mission at midnight (utc 11pm). The only workaround is to not be in a mission at that time. Seems to be happening to everyone at midnight in their region.

Still happening to me, and like most people have said, it always seems to be around midnight. Haven’t been able to complete a freelancer mission in days because of this. Never known a game to be in such an unfinished buggy mess as this is. Especially nearly two months after release. It’s an absolute joke now.

You don’t have to restart. Just don’t fly over the 1200a to 1210a time frame and all is good.

I’d like to add:
- If necessary, use “Add fuel” function instead of “Repair and refuel”. It will not lead to crash.
- Be careful with “File plan with ATC” on EFB. It may be necessary in some missions for getting 100% for Airline Procedures but may lead to CTD within a few minutes after pressing this button.
- Don’t fly any missions between 00:00 and 01:00 local time. You will definitely get a CTD during this period
You must have landed in the wrong topic.
This error here is clearly dependent on the time of day and has nothing to do with the refueling(-cheat) error.
I noticed the same. I flew one day, a long 5:30 hours mission, started at 9pm and it crashed sometime after 12am (around 12:05). The next day I flew another mission, 4pm - 8pm – no problems. In an hour (9pm) I took off again. This time it crashed again and it was at 12:10 am.
If you change your system time for example by changing your region so that you don’t reach midnight during the flight the crash can be avoided. Not ideal but at least possible to fly at night this way.
Ah! I didn’t think of that. Yeah, no ideal, but something! 
I just recently discovered for myself that if you keep the sim open at the 00:00 zulu time, it doesn’t calculate passive income. So if you have some planes with crew flying them, you have to keep your sim off at that time.
And now that local midnight issue… These limitations push on me telling when I have to fly! It drives me nuts

Same but cargo mission… C172 3.5H flight… My landing runway is circled. Time of screenshot is 12:17AM local
Just spent over an hour on a career mission, right before landing, got the message above. This has happened many times. How is it acceptable to have a career mode with flights that take hours, and allow you to randomly get booted and lose all progress? There needs to be a checkpoint system or something where you can reload back to where you were if you get this error. This is gamebreaking. It is beyond aggravating to have the game waste your time like this.

Think yourself lucky 2024 won’t even load on my system anymore. It freezes windows and required a system reboot. Oh much I love throwing away $300.
