I had since beta only one Black Screens at LSZH on the Gate after a flight and a CTD at LSZH so only at this Airport. Before beta i dont had any Black Screens only a few ctds.
I do over 24 flights a week with 1-3h and no issues. Very Smooth also with Bad weather and Rain.
Live Traffic on
Static Airport and Europe Environment
A320neo and Xbox Series X
it’s strange that only some have these problems and some don’t at all …

Same here with the Cessna C7. The live weather is a great feature if you could actually use it lol.

Hey developers are you listening? We have nothing about this no word nothing . Come the twitch stream , We as a community want to hear some answers I’ll be there . I think that enough is enough of this bug that many of us simply will not tolerate at this point . I’ll be there on the 27th asking on behalf of the Xbox community once again .

Always black screens and especially crashes. It’s getting boring in the long run, especially since there are updates all the time that don’t bring any change.

The only work around at the moment is turning off live traffic and live weather. Yes this is not the most realistic way to fly but to get some long haul done this is the only way forward until they fix this issue

It’s also worth noting that whilst this bug exists I’m not purchasing any addon’s as these clearly add to the problems. I’m sure I’m not the only one. So they are potentially loosing money.

I can only confidently get Flight sim to work on my xbox without live weather and only the base game installed. I’ve not even installed any world updates. Even then when you land at your chosen destination airport, frame rates drop massively as you feel the sim is on the verge of CTD/black avionics.

I still think the Xbox (especially the S) simply does not have enough RAM to cope with the sim properly. I do recognise that I am being pessimistic here but I do not think it will be fixed. Certainly not in the short/medium term. It needs to be on a PC. That saddens me as I do really enjoy the sim when it works (I own a Series S) but I just don’t think a console can cope adequately with it.

I’m afraid I’ve lost a lot of patience with it and to be honest I hardly use it at the moment. And I’m unlikely to go back to it until this issue, and the issue regarding WASM, is rectified.

Good advice they only cause CTDs and the marketplace is a nightmare. This issue sadly is not going away anytime soon . The devs have shut us all off and it’s quiet as a mouse . We will see what happens on the next live stream

There is no more expression of opinion. I’m totally disappointed. The game doesn’t get any better without criticism

I’m on the Series S and the sim just never crashes anymore. I’m happy with it’s current stability. It just baffles me that it runs great on my Series S but keeps crashing on another Series S when they are essentially supposed to be the same thing. I even stream when I do my flights with the Longitude and 787 and my GA aircraft. I don’t have an answer and unfortunately because of the sporadic problems that some people have and others don’t, they don’t have the answer yet either and I can understand why. I guess I can just be happy that I can actually play the sim on my console.

Anyone know if they fixed the live weather/ live traffic. issue yet. I know that whenever I turn them on I’m good for maybe one flight then it start having issues. No black screens though since I’ve turn them off.

Criticism has to be constructive, though. Otherwise what’s the point?

I will say I haven’t had black avionics in MONTHS. I also haven’t flown the A320 in the months so I figured I’d fly it tonight because it’s been a good while. I got black avionics after I landed at default KATL with the A320. Mind you I literally haven’t had black avionics since I’ve flown the A320. So I don’t know.

NO LIVE WEATHER
NO LIVE TRAFFIC

Good report:

SBGR - OTHH

13 hours and 40 minutes

World map flight planner

Note: very good flight very smooth throughout apart from approach where the frames became a bit choppy but otherwise NO CTD OR BLACK AVIONICS

To prevent CTD and black avionics turning off live weather and live traffic prevent this issue

I do that yesterday life traffic off and weather. Same Result, black avionics by landing
