On mine and xbox and often and unfortunately, this ends the simulation, not to mention the many CTDs that they never resolve and never will, this has been a fight since the launch of the simulator and they never win and they never will win my friend, I’m sad about this situation on xbox:sob::sob::sob::cry::cry::cry::man_facepalming:t2::man_facepalming:t2::man_facepalming:t2:

No meu e xbox e frequentemente e infelizmente, isso acaba com a simulação, sem contar os CTDs muitos que eles nunca resolvem e nunca vão, isso ta uma briga desde o lançamento do simulador e eles nunca vence e Nunca vão vence amigo,fico triste com essa situação no xbox​:sob::sob::sob::cry::cry::cry::man_facepalming:t2::man_facepalming:t2::man_facepalming:t2:

I’m also having this problem, and the MFS2020 developers will never solve CTDS and Crash black screens, from me they won’t have 1 cent left in their pocket until they resolve the situation on the XBOX

Eu tbm to tendo esse problema ,e.que os desenvolvedores da MFS2020, nunca vão resolver telas pretas CTDS e Crash,de mim eles não levam mais 1 centavo no Bolso deles enquanto não resolverem a situação no XBOX

I’ve had the same problem since I got MSFS on my Xbox. I reached out to support and they told me it is the effect of the system running out of memory. When out of memory, the avionics screens are one of the first rendered things to deactivate in order to conserve memory and keep the flight running. They suggested deactivating any DLCs (free or otherwise), using less complex planes (i.e. not the A320neo v2), and turning off memory intensive graphic settings like complex weather or other traffic. It’s not ideal, of course, but may help for those of us who want to keep flying in at least a simplified state.

Coming to August 2024 and still getting the black screens on most planes and helicopters . Almost every time I get a plane to fly especially with a Garmin fitted. Black screens, some times I switched the avionics on they come on immediately . I thinking that’s good I can fly today. Starting the engines, great. Input a flight plan, turn to another view in the cockpit there it is Black Screens. This problem has been here since the start .Us people who had the MSFS 2020 from the start know this, put up with it thinking they’ll fix it . Having patience with the programmers , they have a lot to do. Still we are here nearly August 24 Black Screens/ sometimes CTD. When will you fix this problem and if not will it continue with FS2024 when we get it?

Yes and I am still having it in 2024

I thought it was me or just one model, but I’ve had several aircraft, with plenty of fuel, suddenly lose power and experience engine failure - Bell 407, Just Flight Hawk. Just had the Bell 407 conk out again, tonight.

Been successful with the H145 and the F14.

This did happen after the WU and several small updates via the content manager

Yes same here in both free flight and career mode normally around the time i come to arrival. Also bugs out my throttle and i have to use idle and max power presets to control the throttle. Its ruining the game for me

Sorry msfs2020 or 2024? Are we getting black screens in 2024? I didn’t hear that..

Yes, it’s been happening for a while now. Pc12 used to be less frequent but now it’s every single flight every single plane. Making it either difficult to land or Impossible to finish the flight or even begin. It’s beyond frustrating how this hasn’t been addressed yet. I heard that if you don’t touch or edit the EFB you could avoid it, not true, heard that if you don’t edit the FP in the FC, not true. I just hope this fix becomes a priority.
