I had some stuttering starting in EDLP Paderborn and on the LOWW Wien approach. I made a intermediate stop with taxiing to gate in LOWI and progressed to LOWW.
I recognize that third party plugins are not the measure of this topic and since I had stutter I will remove the EDLP airport add-on by Aerosoft in future flights and reports. I found this report interesting since I made two takeoffs and approaches with no black avionics.

All good until I got to the gate and the jetway connected on the right side cutting through the cockpit.

The jetway operators are incredibly thick. Haha.

I find the jetways dodgy more than half of the time.
I have just done a second flight today but its only 1hr 49mins but I haven’t posted details of it as its less than 2hrs which in the past has not been too much of a problem with Black screens or am I wrong? Are there a significant amount of probs on flights under two hours?

You might as well post the details so it helps the team figure it out
Good/Bad? Report

Flight Plan: World Map
Load In: Gate
ATC: On
Live traffic/weather: On
Rolling Cache: On 8GB
Time: 6:14 h
No Black Screens
No CTD
Notes: After a go around due to a poor final approach (Alsmost landed on the grass on runway 26L) I went around the airport to try and land on runway 26R and all runway and taxiway lights on this side of the airport were off.
Should I also report it on another topic ? cause it’s not directly related to this one

This was on STANDARD EDITION so heathrow was not a handcrafted airport
Most of the Flight was smooth however the last 1 hour and 30 minutes the sim was a bit laggy but no crashes or black avionics.
I’ve noticed that people who are reporting good results aren’t using a keyboard, I know we should stop speculations but for the people who are still experiencing this bug, try a mouse and controller, and if it still occurs try just using the controller
I use the controller, the keyboard and the mouse, all 3 at the same time and I have no problems. I can do a flight of 1 hour or a flight of more than 10 hours without the slightest problem. so no that’s not it.

Ok thanks for letting me know
I am… not black system screen but the TV would restart and I’m guessing this is due to high data output (idk)
But with the latest update I have noticed that in turbo props, only one tank is being used not both, and this is a problem because we can’t transfer the fuel as we should be able to. Any ideas? Flying the G36 G1000 NXi Bonanza (amazing aircraft btw?
Off topic please stay on topic . This is not a discussion of off topic matter . This is strictly for reports on CTD and Black avionics only !

I use a keyboard and most of my flights 2 - 6 hrs have been CTD free and the avionics have stayed on.
The only exceptions have been a black screen approaching the parking gate and a CTD at the gate after I had paused the sim for 10-15 mins

Hi, I had same situation, CTD on approach to El Prat, but with LatinVFR addon.
Both CTDs occured at night. I managed to land there during the day.
I am unable to set a flightplan from LEBL without CTD (On flight planning phase!)

NOTES: Avionics are now shutting off immediately after turning on battery and external power switches. Minor vent, but this is getting to be absolutely ridiculous. I’m at the point where I just want delete the game and forget I ever had it. It’s getting old.
