Hey! I tried to do a flight in the 747-8, and everything worked great! (My last topic about the black monitors in the 747 and the a320 was beacuse of the mods).
Microsoft has updated the aircraft and they kinda work pretty good now, but when i opened the VFR Map to check where i was, the sim crashed. Idk if that was because of my pc, but be aware 
I just had my first CTD due to opening the VFR map, and this was in the Daher TBM. So, no, it was not because of your pc.
This is a known issue, discussed in the release notes.
Set VFR Map to open on start. (It should be that way by default after the update⊠at least mine was.)
Not so on mine.
Itâs a setting in the Options that you have to turn on when you start your flight. Otherwise, open it soon after the flight loads.
Interesting. Wonder whatâs going on? I donât use the VFR Map at all; I have Little Navmap for that function. Odd that mine would be set to on.
If you donât use it at all (Iâm the same, I use LNM as well), then just disable the VFR map from the menu from the settings. It wonât bother you then.
Yep⊠thatâs how Iâd been using it. But todayâs patch seems to mandate an âalways openâ condition to avoid CTD events. 
as I understood it, it only results in a crash to desktop if you try to view the map later in the flight.
If youâre not using the map, I canât crash because of it.
At least, thatâs how I understood it works. I havenât had any crashes myself while not using the map at all.
I sat there, clicking the VFR map on/off for 5 minutes (like 300 times) never crashed once. Never has.
lol!
You should be a QA tester! 
I am finding NOTHING wrong with this version â maybe I am a QA Tester ??? 
Weâll see what happens over the next few daysâŠ
i just had crash without vfr map, use vfrmap.exe addon + glass browser for track it in, very convenient, but i donât sure about stability with that things
The only CTD I have ever had, and it happens 100% of the time, is when I plug in a Thrustmaster FF Joystick
Iâm also noticing a lag when I open the map window. This lag wasnât there before.
i donât use ff, only f lol itâs x65f 
got hit with this bug.
very odd as i had opened and closed the vfr map dozens of times during the flight, and it decided to CTD when i attempted to open the VFR map in drone mode.
only have had 2 crashes previously, both were due to a known bug with a specific airport, otherwise itâs been smooth sailing.
Youâre not alone. Have been using VFR map just as I always have, and today is the first CTD it had caused. Was half an hour into the flight and had the VFR map open and closed many times without issue. I think it was because I opened it from an external view that triggered the CTD. The solution i have read is to configure settings to always open the VFR map on flight start. This is a new bug from the latest patch.
Before the update, it was smooth flying.
And now it crashes now by just pressing âVâ button.
