Try flying with just the keyboard and if no crashes, introduce your controls one at a time.
Why Asobo - not roll back to a stable version, then look for a solution

I realized that The Azure Text To Speech options was causing me CTDs every time when getting landing clearence from tower. Since I set it to Offline no CTDs since.

Folks, a mostly overlooked but simple root cause for ârandom crashesâ is the power supply unit in your PC - especially if it is running near its limits or is even exceeding them!
Now as we know MSFS is a very demanding application and is driving certain GPUs to their limit. The combined power draw (CPU, RAM and GPU) is considerable and if your power supply is âshakyâ this is very frequently the cause of such ârandom crashesâ.
Solution? Buy a bigger power brick! 
Or otherwise try to lower the power consumption, by reducing screen resolution and all that.

You can add the following fix to the CTD on loading screen which is caused by a corrupt exe.xml.

Think turning off (HAGS) Hardware accelerated GPU scheduling should be in here.
Had issueâs with this for the last 4 or 5 sim updates. Often new GPU driver update would fix it again then next sim update it starts causing guaranteed CTD for me.

I would agree with that. I itself struggled long time with these setting and I decide to set this permanent Off.
The wicked thing with that setting is: it just works sometimes and then, with an gpu driver update or any kind of windows update the whole system can crash randomly or a game (not only msfs) run into strange issues.
May be it can also moved from the ( bit older) Performance-Hint-FAQ https://flightsimulator.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360016142680-All-versions-How-to-improve-the-performance into the Trouble-Shooting-FAQ as âat least try to disable itâ.

I havenât read through all the CDT posts but did manage to capture one on video along with its end error screen.! Since this site wonât take .MOV files or iPhone screen shot images directly⊠I will edit with added files after conversionâŠ
I used to have a few CTDs, once or two per month, with time I got CTDs more frequently, I started to think that something was wrong with my system when other games started to crash too, So, I run memtest86 to test my RAM, it found a lot of errors, I bought new RAM sticks and since then no more CTDs.
For those with a dreaded memory could not be written error:
Do you have the RAM speed overclocked (XMP) by any chance?. I just turned-off the XMP o/c on my board and let it run at the standard board speed and MSFS is now working fineâŠ
Worth checking.
PS: Tried posting on the original thread but the system wonât let me because I am a new user???

I finally resolved CTD and PC rebooting issues in MSFS2020 with my AMD Radeon 6900XT GPU by modifying settings in AMD Adrenalin software.
in âSettings â Graphicsâ I selected Power Saving profile and set max FPS to 60. Now my GPU temperature never exceeds 60C in MSFS and I can fly hours without crashing.
also, before that, in âPerformance â Tuningâ section of AMD Adrenalin I put everything to Default and rebooted PC, may itâs also relevant.
Itâs a screenshot how to set profile and limit fps

I have over time had several crashes, inexplicable and unexpected. I have done quite a bit to solve this problem and may have found a solution that works for me. In the BIOS I turned off XMP (overclocking memory). This seems to have worked for me, donât have a good explanation as to why it works, but it does. Maybe this can be solved for others too

Iâll check that out when Iâm home!
at first it instantly lowered the number of CTDâs I had ⊠after two weeks or so they returned âŠ
