Yes. On all 3rd party airports I own. This is really annoying.
Made it! (EKCH)

Great landing there Brian bit nerve wracking with the screens going off on approach. Ouch!.
Yes I removed all add-on airports just not worth it at the moment. Sad to see it happen on the new airplane.
I love that ATR!! Itās a great airplane.
If youāre on Xbox then itās a memory issue
Finally thanks I am reassured now I see it in writing that there trying to fix.
How is this still a problem, almost since release and still no fix.
It is almost impossible to use add-on airports and make long flights on Xbox.
Every (dev) update we hear the same, āwe are aware of the problem and working on itā.
Still not a step closer to a fix since 2021. I find it insane how stability is lacking so much in MSFS.

I share your frustration turbulence although to be fairā¦they are closer.
It has undoubtedly improved for some (but not all) with the stability and performance improvements they introduced.
As shown in a recent chart during a Q&A.
Removing add-on airports seems to help the most.
Longer term who knows.
No new Xbox console on the cards and nearing max capabilities. I wonder if console is part of the 10 yr plan or will have to drop off along the way.

Xbox X has been rock solid with the ATR and the PMDG 737.

I appreciate theyāve seemingly fixed CTDs at most 3rd party airports on Xbox, but the fact we still get the memory leak, followed by black screens years later is absolutely infuriating and ruins so much on the high-fidelity aircraft.
Biggest offenders for me:

I got a real bad case of it last night starting on the runway in the JF Arrow Turbo at Princess Juliana, GNS and even the EFB had no power. I took off and flew anyway, having power suddenly being restored and full functionality back maybe 10mins later. Very strange behaviour and not the first time having stuff like this happen either.
I am starting to become somewhat annoyed as well with the black screens and CTD. I took the time to manual plan a flight on the PMDG 737 from St. Kitts in the Caribbean to Miami. The screens went black after flying over Miami and then CTD as I am literally less than half a mile from touch down. I have foolishly spent money on quite a bit of 3rd party airports and at times I can not even load a flight from cold and dark. Really wish there was a mid cycle XBOX on the horizon.

Welcome to our world! Just donāt buy airports on xbox if you want to keep away from the pain. Donāt even buy the good ones, because once you get a taste for them the autogen airports become quite disappointing and it reduces the experience elsewhere.
Iām going to end up on PC eventually, like many ex-xboxers before me. Itās just the cost thatās currently preventing me.

Itās so close to being āthereā if you get me. In many respects the sim on Xbox has come leaps and bounds from the nightmare of 18 months or so ago. Iām really hoping that they arenāt done with improving things with stability. The last few weeks or so Iāve noticed increased stutters, shudders and the like creeping back in, surely canāt be just me. The LOD could still use some tweaking for sure, pop ins and whatnot are plenty at night. Turn your head and it takes a few seconds for the street lights to fade in from an almost complete darkness. Work in these areas is not finished or fully fleshed out yet.

After this experience, Iāll be avoiding the $500 or so expense to upgrade the console and just putting that into a PC build that I can control and can upgrade over time if I had performance issues. Itās a āfool me onceā type of issue, as a mid gen refresh may just come with more resource demands as the sim expands.
Iāll probably wait another 6-12 months to move on to a PC build if stability doesnāt significantly improve on console and if freeware doesnāt come to the marketplace. And if I have to move on, I wonāt be recommending Xbox to people interested in flight sim any longer.

I spent most of last night restarting the sim. Trying to fly the vision jet v2.
EGLC - no screens at all, even the tablet was blank before I did anything.
LIPZ - tablet working, screens came on, went black during init.
LIRJ - Tiny airport on an island, finally managed to take off. Cruised at FL300 to London, black screens at about 15,000ft during descent. They came back on but died again the moment I clicked the button to add the approach into the FMC, then stayed off. Tried to visual with no screens into EGLC 09, was rewarded with CTD about a mile from touchdown.
KMCO - default Asobo airport. CTD when I clicked the fly now button.
KMIA - Black screens flying over Miami Beach.
The vision jet was rock solid before AAU2 beta, I couldnāt break it. Since the beta Iāve been having trouble with VJ V1 CTD and black screens a lot and now with V2 released itās totally broken. This is just a JavaScript plane extending the default G3000 avionics. If the sim canāt run this then what can it do?
Iāve been putting up with this for 18 months now, hoping Asobo will finally get it working reliably, and Iām really doubting they ever will. I think they are just in over their heads. Maybe this is just too hard for a console with shared RAM and what is these days not much of it.
SU8 was worse than SU7, SU9 was completely unusable and a real low point. SU10 was an improvement from SU9, the high point was really SU11. Despite adding helis and gliders and the A310, and improving clouds, this was the most stable it has been for a year. Yes I got black screens and CTD lots of times, but not most times, it was easy to be optimistic that the future would be better.
Since then itās a downhill slope again. AAU1 was a little more unreliable, SU12 was noticeably more so, and AAU2 is even worse again. Iāve been in all of the betas and given as much feedback on the bug threads as I can but weāre not getting there.
I get black screens and/or CTD more than half of the time in the A310, CJ4, even now the Vision Jet. Iāve lost count how many times Iāve taken off or landed the A310 with black screens using just the steam gauges. What am I supposed to fly? Oh and I usually lose the ATC voices as well but Asobo refuses to acknowledge that problem even exists.
Iāve just about had it with xbox, I feel like throwing the thing in the bin.

I have argued that they should put a hold on adding stuff to the Sim on Xbox, until the most immenent issues like black screens/ CTDās are solved. I know you canāt eliminate CTDās for 100%, but as far as i know the black screens issue is Xbox exclusive. This really needs to be fixed first.
Looking at AAU2, the way the Sim is heading, i really fear for the future.

I see it exactly the same way. Even Microsoboās own airports are now a disaster. The purest stutter festival. The āExclusiveā 787-10 generates CTD at third party content instand. After uninstalling all airports and extensions, except for the ship extension, I was able to do a complete flight with the 787-10. EDDH-OMDB. However, the performance on landing was more than poor. Although I was able to complete the flight I will continue to use the simulator as I have for the last few weeks. Iāll give it a try. If this one doesnāt work I let the sim rest for a week and try again. This stresses me significantly less.
