NOTES: About 8 minutes in I was able to move through the windscreen to the outside of the aircraft, in the past this signalled the oncoming black avionics but in this case by about 30 mins in this behaviour ceased and I was no longer able to do this.
Another strange thing my custom tail number was blank other then that a successful flight for runway to gate.
I decided that I was not going to fly today as I had spent far too long on FS this weekend instead I thought I would spend a few minutes creating some custom views and playing with some sensitivity settings etc. I went into world map and selected EGLL as departure and nothing else as I was only going to mess with settings. I pressed fly and got black avionics straight away. I advanced the throttles to taxi the aircraft anyway and had no rudder/steering. I then exited back to the main menu and instantly got a CTD.

Comments: Really bad reportā¦ Wanted to do a quick 20 minute flight on the A320 to experience the Innsbruck Approachā¦ About halfway through my Approach, the game completely froze for a few seconds, then a CTD that even caused my Xbox to shut off. No Black Avionics as it went straight into the CTD and Xbox shut-off.
Note: my Xbox is well ventilated and at the touch it was cool so I doubt it was an overheating issue.
I had this twice in early September in the Edinburgh area. My Xbox is also well ventilated and I think this is clearly not an overheating issue but merely a FS problem (Iāve never experienced something like this with any other game ever).
I did several flights yesterday on PC and anything longer than 30 minutes resulted in black screens. Nothing Iāve tried seems to help and this is beyond frustrating. Just wanna do some flights without constantly worrying about this.

Did this before with A320 in the Sim Update before and I had black avionics. It is my longest flight yet.
I had problems when landing, when using the Xbox Controller the 747 is not dethrotteling. I had to use the mouse to shift the throttle back.
Edit: My issue with the throttle was because of the Auto Throttle Switch being active. Disabling it, gives me control over throttle.
Referring to my previous post about CTD and pausing the game. I ACCIDENTLY paused the game this morning on a flight from KTPA - KBWI and shortly after starting my decent it randomly CTD. I didnāt install anything else and didnāt turn any other features on or off after all of my completed successful flights and every single time I paused the game I always have had an issue, and when I never pause the game still to even today I donāt have an issue. Almost like a memory leak starts when you interrupt gameplay. Maybe someone else could confirm this for me? Itās happened too many times now for it to just be a coincidence IMO.
So I just completed the same flight with all the same settings I posted about earlier this morning flawlessly with NO PAUSING in the game. Another potential confirmation that this could be contributing to our problems here.
Been several days since Iāve taken any flights because Iām awaiting a bush trip repair. So I decide today to learn a new plane. I take off, circle around the area, do a couple touch and go landings and get a CTD. Guess Iāll go back to playing Halo.
Today I loaded in at De Gaulle Airport and instantly got black screens twice. Iām on series S also. For now Paris/north Germany is a no-go for me right now. It must be very memory heavy around there. Going to do another flight later, Iāll report back.
