Xbox/PC screens go black then CTD

I have just started a repeat of the same flight I did on Tuesday to see if I get the same result. (Previous flight; 3hr40min, avionics OK, but CTD on taxiing to gate at destination)

On a side note I have a graphical glitch on the AP display when I use V/S,


two of the zeros in my display are corrupted.

Just noticed in this pic the Parking Brake is on :flushed_face::grimacing::zany_face:

Thank You . Yes this is happening a lot after the touchdown of the aircraft I’m seeing . Lots of people reporting this happening at the airports. I had it as well especially in the Washington DC area.

In 400hrs clocked on XSX so far, I’ve mainly been flying med-to-long haul flights with big aircraft, so I’ve experienced my fair share of this issues, including both screens going black and soon after CTD. For me personally, it usually happens between 4 to 6 hours in flight.

I’ve done 2 flights after the recent update to see if this issue persists for me.

So:

  1. 787, London Heathrow to Toronto Pearson, live weather, no traffic, from cold to gate, no black screen, no CTD, just under 8hrs total flight - ALL OK
  2. 737 MAX, Hawaii Kalaeloa Airport to Guam Won Pat, live weather, no traffic, cold to gate, no black screen, no CTD, over 8hrs total flight time, - ALL OK

I will continue to monitor my flights and post updates as I can, I’m planning a longer flight from Auckland New Zealand to Cape Town South Africa with 787 over the weekend, this should take me well over 10hrs flight time so I will see if anything comes up

Yes i have that before update in paris charles de gaulle always black avionics but After Update no problem anymore.. But i will landing more in paris then we will see. Today I only flew in Italy, it was very fluid. Feels like 60fps. Had no problems in 6 different airports

Just did a shorter flight 1 hour 26 minute on A320 from Zurich to Barcelona… Smooth flight and successfully landed. No black avionics, HOWEVER, I did CTD the moment I parked at the gate. Details below:

-System: Xbox Series X
-Airplane: A320-N
-Flight Route: LSZH (Zurich) to LEBL (Barcelona)
-Flight Plan: FMS in the A320
-Live Weather / Live Traffic: Yes
-ATC: VFR (in-game)
-Load-In: Cold and Dark
-Phase of flight when avionics went dark: CTD after I landed in LEBL and parked at the Gate. Avionics stayed on
-3rd party add-on: LSZH by Fsdreamteam, LEBL by Latin VFR

Did two flights gate to gate on my Xbox Series X, both long hall to see how it’ll go. It did go well with no problem on both. I took two different planes now i’ll try a third one on the A320

First Flight

Route:OMDB to EGLL
Plane : B747
Time: Roughly 7h
Flight Plan: FMC

Second Flight

Route: KJFK to EHAM
Plane: B787
Time: Roughly 8h
Flight Plan: World Map

Both on live weather, live traffic, load from gate
3rd party addon: Airport Regional Environment Europe and North America by LVFR

Side note I did had a big loss of fps when landing at London with the 747 under rainy conditions but on the second flight fps remained quite stable.
And if the reports can help improving everyone experience I will continue to do these flights.

No problems with the avionics which worked fine until I parked at the gate, screens went black when I requested the Jetway. Up until that all worked fantastic apart from ATC who I could not hear on final.

Nice job guys. Based on the last several reports the trend definitely seems like the blackouts are occurring near the destination airport or after landing with SU6. Keep em coming.

London City to Zurich in the A320 resulted in black screens during descent into Zurich.

Still the Mouse is Freezing and sensitivity settings for my Thrustmaster HOTAS are still not beeing saved. Iā€˜m playing on Series S.

I wonā€˜t spend ANY more money, until all is sorted out.

This all reminds me of Cyberpunk 2077 in the skies…

KATL to EDDF in 7.5 hours. No CTD or black screen. The cockpit cam however did get funny where I could move outside of the cockpit.

to add to this. The funny cockpit cam only happens when i taxi to gate

Short answer to the LSZH flight ( eighter from or to it) I am also owning the LSZH addon from FSDT - there are no Jetways at all ( known issue) but since WU6 and SU6 I recognized strange behavior with the LSZH addon active. Some examples:

Sometimes Groundservice doesn’t work or is simply not available
Taxing sometimes results into CTD
Approaching LSZH sometimes results into CTD
Loading a flight into LSZH results into CTD

I made a lot of TestFlights between LOWW <–> LSZH with the addon active and faced a lot of this issues, than I deinstalled the LSZH addon and I didn’t faced any troubles so far

BTW: I requested a refund for the LSZH addon as it is for me totally buggi - this was of course rejected

Just as a hint for you guys - this are my findings I had specifically with LSZH :slightly_frowning_face:
