Ctd while landing ybbn from nzwn photography and multilayer in live weather

Vecc airport won’t let me load it 5 ctds back to back now 12/11 /22 ctds every single time loaded up at the gates but no ctds at the runways

Had the same issue last night on a night flight. But mine was a totally shutdown. engines everything… shortly i was down to the ocean…

Do you guys think this will ever be fixed in the near future? As I am thinking of investing into a joystick for christmas?

I don’t think they will fix this any time soon so I divert to stock and bespoke airports as CTDs are very seldom on airports that are smaller in filesize.

Seems to me there struggling to find a balance on Xbox lod gfx Vs stability with wasm on the horizon and study aircraft I think it’s going to take time with optimization

The bug has been inwork for a considerable period of time. I think it isn’t yet fully understood as a bug and no solution is on horizon to fix it permanently.

With all the other changes taking place, the fact most players are using add-ons…

Just have to live with it.

I don’t believe it is unplayable for anyone.

Just certainly it is annoying on certain routes.

That’s the problem: ā€œtheyā€ don’t see it as a bug because they don’t use the same, native Xbox environments to test and see for themselves. If we could show one or two of the key developers how bad it is they would be more active in fixing I figure.

There is zero desire to do that …or else it’d have been done …the Sim essentially works also. That doesn’t help. If it was broken it’d have gotten attention.

I think they are working hard at it but probably not full-time - and maybe see it at a low priority, since most users are happy.

I think getting it onto console was a mission statement…a great achievement…and it’s done.

Longer term we’ll need new consoles… I think development is reaching the limit of capabilities…

This came up on the Live Q&A …the Asobo guy said we are not there yet. But I bet we are close.

Unfortunately and according to several articles I’ve read Microsoft assumes that there will be no new Xbox for at least the next 4…5 years.

Must be alot more to come. In fact it isn’t sheer processing grunt these days.

There’s smarter ways of processing data and optimisation that’ll probably stretch the life of the S/X…

Will it be enough for MSFS we’ll need to wait an see

UPDATE:. By the way recently I’ve been manually turning off the first officer’s screens and so far (5 plus flight’s had no black screens nor CTD)…
Maybe coincidence…that was on the Xbox X

Have you tried on complex airports that already ctd ?

Sadly I own only 3 or 4 add-on airports,. Luton EGGW being the most detailed…

That being said I was getting black screen and CTD flying into it quite regularly.

It’s now 6 from 6 so far.

Used A320 and LVFR A319…

What do you mean by this ?

Still all ctd ?

I use also lvfr a319

Try to fly without live weather i had no iuess landing in katl

Sorry 6 perfect flights

Tried on LFLL 3rd party addon, ctd obviously…

Is there any hope for this topic be fixed?
