Was all good apart from this.
Yeah Iām noticing other issues with airport lighting now that the avionics and crashing has reduced. Complete darkness at some, floating lighting at others. But anyway thatās for another forum. Back to the topic of blackouts and CTDs.

Ran out of fuel LOL. I always take too much, also my Airbus only seems to use 1600 kg/hr which seems low, not that I know much
Just wondering if we should add whether our sectors are flown in daytime or at night in these reports. Just a thought, like I say I donāt know much still learning.
15 hours in and no issues, It couldnāt survive more then 9 hours before SU6.

Issues :
-No bad textures
-No Ctdās and no Black avioniks
It feels like every time when I delete Rolling cache, MSFS runs very good until the memory is full or something like that (I really donāt know much about that) and I get bad textures and black avioniksā¦
So I will test delete Rolling cache every few flights.
I donāt know whether I am allowed to make an assumption but it seems as if most people who get Black avionics and crash to desktop seem to be flying in or out of hand crafted airports?

-Addons: Just Sim - Barcelona Airport (El Prat)
Issues :
-CTD on approach into El Prat
-No black avionics
In order to complete successful flights recently I have been clearing my cache each time I start fs2020 and have ensured that I have started the game on a clea startup, Iāve been doing really short flights generally under an hour and into less busy airports and have had no issues.
This morning I thought Iād try and fly to Barcelona from London so not a particularly long flight but longer than I had been doing and as I was approaching El Prat via an IFR approach (approx 15nm from runway) the game just CTD.
Currently 8 mins outbound from Heathrow on route to Reykjavik. Can move outside the cockpit through the windscreen and look inside.
Think this one might end badly. When this has happened before I have always gotten black screens but usually not this early in a flight.
EDIT: Very odd, now half an hour in and can no longer leave the flightdeck through the windscreen.
Less then 400nm remaining, 21 hours inā¦some lagging but nothing majorā¦usually black screen and CTD upon approach, so letās see:
Lag really kicking nowā¦
Please only report without the use of addons. Thank you.
21 hours and 44 mins, no black screens, no CTD. All live on options, I didnāt do anything speciali just loaded game up.
Auto pilot did mess with me on final approach where auto throttle wouldnāt disengage.

Good flight. A tiny bit of stutter on approach but no issues.
Apart from the fact that my landing into St. Maarten was utter garbage.
Does anyone knows if turning online functionality in the settings āoffā and then back āonā again, reduces the possibility of black avionics? Personally if I get stutters, find that resetting online functionality makes the stutters go away. Strange but it happens. Makes me question, are the stutters linked to a memory leak? And if so, does turning online functionality on/off release some memory?

The issue seems to be with the A320 since just before I did YSSY to OMDB (Sydney to DubaĆÆ) with the 747 without any issue.
Or the other cause could be flying into or/and out of handcrafted airports
