Xbox/PC screens go black then CTD

I’m new to the forum and just saw this today but I will participate from tomorrow.

Ran a flight today from Abu Dhabi to Singapore. No issues for 7 hours but I forgot to put real time weather and air traffic. However this time I put real world streaming so that’s good;

This flight was in the beta. I hope the developers got some information out of it.

Only issue was black avionics once I was at the arrival gate. I switched to external camera to enjoy the airport view . Attached in the picture. This happened as the jetway was being connected.

I used a custom livery for my Dreamliner - the airport had custom liveries for a320s.

Will keep updating any new findings here if appropriate and useful.

Now screens won’t turn on like KAtl and other airports

My recommendation for everyone is to uninstall handcrafted ATL and DFW, those airports are very bad optimized for xbox, all the time causing CTD/Black screens

Regarding the ongoing Xbox Stability Testing - we’ve received a lot of data on out of memory crashes on Xbox and are now analyzing the information and investigating a few different cases. The information we’ve received so far has been hugely beneficial to the team. Thank you very much for those who are participating!

Quite welcome that MS/Asobo aknowledged our efforts and thanked us. What I’m missing in the short message is a perspective: is it still beneficial to continue and if yes what is the plan and specifically for how long should we continue and if yes, is there an end date? The communication as good as it is on technical details, seems a bit lacking the social component and understanding of what non-technical info and care we need. Above all we’re spending dedicated, personal and unpayed work for a commercial company.

I’ll believe it when I see it :joy: do you think Sim Update 10 or when?

There is a new beta testing out which people can sign up to do on xbox. It is a sim update 10 beta.

I’m testing now it’s very early to tell at this point we have a long ways to go and there will be more beta builds I’m sure in the process. Just have to test and report the findings and bugs at this point .

Where do I report a CTD or black avionics if I experience one do I report it on here or does the information automatically go to the developers?

If you are on the test version, its automatically reported :wink:

The test period has ended and the test Beta was replaced w. a “normal” Beta for me yesterday.

Just wanted to say that after installing this new SU 10 beta, I did a short IFR test flight in the A320 and was able to complete it without a CTD or any black avionics. I had live weather and live traffic on. I am hoping it will stay this way and not go back to not working, but at the moment this issue has been solved for me! I strongly encourage you all to download it as soon as possible, as I believe the game is finally becoming playable again!

Update later in the evening: I had black screens when I opened my VFR map :neutral_face::neutral_face::neutral_face::neutral_face::neutral_face:

747 screens go black or the game will crash if I check my vfr map😔

On beta testing?

Yeah and I have runway issues as well.

Yup just had that issue, I opened the VFR map and bye-bye went my avionics.

Has anyone had any issues on the new beta for sim update 10?

Black screens on 3rd party aircraft, handcrafted airports like Chicago is CTDs , can’t even spawn in Chicago most of the time . Most handcrafted airports and cities also CTDs . Much smoother overall experience for me but it’s too early still in the testing phase . The A320 is constantly causing CTDs vanilla , this is even before the beta , so there is lots to test and lots of bugs I have reported so far . But it is smoother on startup and overall play .
