Jack quick question - have you or know anyone that has tried the cloud gaming now available. Does the black screen occur on that too?

I know not a fix. Just curious.

Well guys Iā€™ll write my last flight report:

GOOD REPORT

Xbox series S

A320N

A CoruƱa - Barcelona

1:22 minutes flight

no frames drops

No CTD

Both airports are Payware product

Barcelona itā€™s biggest airport but no problem at all (some frames drop when I turn to the terminal 2 but itā€™s normal, have a lots of details and are big structure)

Well, I have lucky or Iā€™m flying short flights and thatā€™s all.

Have a good luck guys

BAD REPORT:
Black screen after landing.

Platform: XBOX Series S
Aircraft: default A320 NEO
Route: LEPA to LEMD
Live weather: OFF
3rd party airport: NO
Black avionics screen: Just after Landing. This flight was only 40 minutes, had black screens after landing. Honestly its bothering me how 9/10 flights I get black screens somewhere along the way. Iā€™d rather them come out and say they canā€™t fix it. Iā€™m tired of being ignored by the devā€™s but Iā€™ll still remain here until we get a yes or no answer that it can be fixed or not. How is this a flight simulator if I cant complete a bug free flight. Iā€™m not trying to be harsh, I know how much work goes into these products and I can tolerate the odd bug here and there but when avionics shut off, its like a kick in the teeth as you cant navigate nor operate the aircraft properly. Sorry for my rant, also donā€™t worry guys iā€™m not going anywhere! P.s when the next Q & A comes around we need to get them to address an update for this as much as possible. Iā€™ll be there.

The Madrid area is having problems, I have an LVFR airport and I have already reported the problem to the developers and they are fixing it since I have CTD when I approach

Its not about 3rd party scenery. Iā€™m talking about the core sim with Asobo airports.

yes I know, what I mean is that it is a problem area anyway, regardless of whether you have a third-party scenario or not

Oh right, I was just saying because this bug is strictly vanilla. :+1:

Its horrendous, I cant even get off the ground. I beg to god that this gets fixed soon. As soon as the next Q & A comes, Iā€™m going straight to the chat.

I asked q&a last week they ignoring people are trying to ask on Xbox on q&a

I know, I heard. I just donā€™t understand do they even read these posts? Almost at 2000 replies as I said many times, but yet we donā€™t seem to be making any progress. Iā€™d even be happy if they fixed it to an extent where it happens 1 in 10 flights. Iā€™m grateful for Jack starting this thread and is still with us and everyone else whoā€™s still supporting this topic. I know I said this many times but I have no intentions of leaving this thread until its fixed. Heck, I even have the link bookmarked on my phone. :joy: I canā€™t begin to think how many CTDā€™s are going to happen when ā€˜weā€™ get the 737 or CRJ if the default aircraft are having issues.

Today I flew from DĆ¼sseldorf to Basel, knowing that it is one of the most unstable areas in all of Europe to see how far I could go. One of the things I discovered is that the more time you spend at the departure airport, the more likely the screens are to turn off before taking off (not all airports, of course), and another that I have discovered is that when I fly through Spain/Italy and France, the texture of the terrain at 30,000ft is excellent, but through Holland/Germany and Switzerland the textures do not finish loading, making everything look blurry thus generating that when I start the descent, the simulator starts loading the auto gen and overloads with information, causing a screen blackout or directly CTD. what seems strange to me is that having both the same console, I fly with all the accessories and have no problem and you deactivate more than one thing and unthinkable errors happen to you

Does this issue occur on cloud gaming too?
Not proposing thatā€™s a fixā€¦

Curious thatā€™s all.

Sadly I donā€™t know anyone that doesnā€™t have it installedā€¦to testā€¦
