When I run auto Ortho, I get a brief flash of a small black screen and then nothing. I've uninstalled it and installed it again and the result is the same. what should I do? Foggy

Im now noticing that there is a Forum just for CTDs. I hope someone else out there has encountered this problem and was able to fix it. This is the log file Faulting application name: Flight Simulator2024.exe, version: 1.6.34.0, time stamp: 0x00000000 Faulting module name: libcef.dll, version: 109.1.16.0, time stamp: 0x6368965c Exception code: 0x80000003 Fault offset: 0x000000000170ce01 Faulting process id: 0x3AB4 Faulting application start time: 0x1DCB19F023E5FAB Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.Limitless_1.6.34.0_x64_8wekyb3d8bbwe\FlightSimul…

Hello, I had a really good copy of FSX running on my previous machine. I was able to run on medium/high settings with addons airports that I was flying to activated no problem. However, the hardware reached the end of its life and I now have new hardware. I have followed the avsim Install bible and have copied across the root folder from my old hardware to my new hardware and I also copied across the scenery.cfg. I tested the sim by loading in Edinburgh and it worked no problem. However when I try to load the sim in Miami or Tampa, I run into a OOM error at about 80% The new hardware is more capable then the previous hardware and the sim files are th…

Im getting out of memory ctd's in FSX when I never had them before. Ive done half a dozen flights on the same routes, same scenery and same aircraft with LOD on 8.5 without any problems at all for many years. Now, on my new W11 computer Im getting ooms when I never did before. Im using DX10 fixer the same way Ive always used it and im still getting omms now. HIGH MEM FIX is on.... Ive tried FSX and FSXsteam...I even tried a different card and drivers. What has changed?

Hello Everyone, I have just done a fresh reinstall of Prepar3D v3.2 (lastest version, Academic) on Windows 10. After installing the FSDreamteam KJFK, I got this error on startup related to the dll they use for couatl/addon manager : http://prntscr.com/apvs3t It has been coming up ever since. I uninstalled the FSDT product and everything worked fine afterwards. How can I fix this error? I cannot even get in to the simulator with this. It seems to me that many of my problems are caused by this bglmanx/addon manager stuff... I have the latest version of FSUIPC installed. Thank you!

Hello everybody I'm suffering from a reproducable CTD that's always occuring south of EDDV airport. It happens at all times of the day, with every aircraft and even with AI traffic and AI ships set to 0. Event viewer says KERNELBASE.dll is the culprit. What could cause that? Kind regards Michael

Hello, Ever since the most recent SU16 update, I am experiencing random CTD's when flying in certain regions. For example, I can fly all along the eastern and central US and Caribbean with no CTD issues. However, when flying in some parts of the western US, especially in mountainous areas, there are random CTD issues. Sometimes I can do a similar flight in the same area, and the sim is fine; other times, random CTD with no rhyme or reason. Also experiencing random CTDs when flying in the vicinity of the northern part of South America. For example, I was doing a flight earlier between MKJS (Sangster airport, Jamaica) and TNCA (Aruba), and about 90nm out of Aruba, CTD.…

So a few months ago I started using DX12 and swapped to DLSS4 using the swapper tool and the required nvidia inspector settings. After some usage time i found out that DX12 in MSFS has memory leak issues. I will attach a screenshot for anyone who doesnt believe me. This was after a longer flight in the FBW A380, i already use the downscaled textures for this aircraft which are available on flightsim.to. My system is mid-range-well equipped with RAM and VRAM, and it still manages to overload it completely after a few hours while FPS are fine when starting up the sim. But this is not the issue i am trying to get solved, its just the reason why I want to ac…

I just downloaded a new emerates 380 airplane with call out sounds but I'm not hearing any of them. The install instructions was to place the call out files in the msfs x main sound folder. I removed the files from the downloaded sound folder and placed them in the msfs x main sound folder as in structions. I have this problem with most of the call out files placed in the main sound folder. I must be placing the sound files incorrectly. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. I'll check this forum for any similar post while waiting for any member responses.

Msfs 2020 closes just fine but according to steam it did not and when restarting the message "ended unexpectedly" pops up, even in safe mode..??

Hi there, I can find a lot of those issues for MSFS 2020, but I've got one for MSFS 2024: After it has worked with hardly any flaws for half a year, MSFS 2024 suddenly started to get CTDs when I was at bigger airports. After some of them, a DXGI ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG (0x887a0006) error message came up. Some people said the NVIDIA app caused this problem. So I uninstalled it. Furthermore, I did what was shown in the video below. At first, it seemed solved. Then the inibuilds A330 ran completely crazy. So, I tried to download it (instead of streaming). After that, it worked normally for a single time. And then the whole sim ALWAYS crashes as soon as the splash screen …

Hi everyone, Ive tried to narrow down what’s causing this CTD but I still can’t figure it out. I ran ProcMon and it was coming up with multiple Texture.CAB files missing from folders that don’t even have a Texture folder, most notably Scenery/SAME/Scenery. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi there. My Fenix A320 in half way of circling procedure freezing cocpit buttons and uncontrolled dive to the ground. After FS2020 SDK latest update it worked well for one flight. Next flight to another airport the problem was back. Any idea why it happens, please?

Hello everyone. I'm having a problem with the Aerosoft CRJ v2 Pro, with my P3Dv5.1. I've posted a ticket to Aerosoft support and several requests, but I haven't received a response. (P3D customers are probably no longer interested in them.) When I select the CRJ, P3Dv5.1 has been crashing for some time. Before, there was no problem. And no problem with other aircraft. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, but nothing works. Since I don't have any help from Aerosoft, I'm trying to understand. One thing that puzzles me is that in the Aerosoft CRJ Pro Base Panel, there is no config panel, only a DLL called ASCRJ Pro.5.dll. Can't find the ASCRJ Pro 5!PFDC gaug…

I've never had ctd issues in msfs but yesterday I could not even get msfs to make it to the main menu home screen. It boots up, almost makes it and then crashes. I even deleted everything and went with the 4 hours install process. It is still doing the same ctd before the main screen comes up. Is anyone else expierncing this? I have an up-to-date Asus computer with windows 11. Thanks. I'm in a bind.

Hi guys, I've had several ctd's lately using FSX SE. One advice I got is to minimize switching to spot views. That worked for a while, but the ctd's still hapened. I have no idea how to open the error file myself or how to attach it to this post. It's an MDMP type file. Opening it with notepad just shows gibberish. Please assist me. Eytan Ornstein

Last night as I went to shutdown my desktop computer, there was a notification that an update was ready to be installed. So I selected install and restart. After the update I shut the computer down and this morning when I went to go to MSFS 2020 it began to CTD. I am 3 hours into trying to figure out what is causing the CTD but cannot figure it out. The only thing that has changed is the update to windows 10. I have tried tracking down anything that might cause the crashes but can't find whatever is causing the problem. I have searched YouTube and forums, but no matter what I try it fails to correct the problem. Anyone have any ideas. Thanks. Rodger

Hello. I was installing MSFS 2020 at about 30% when my PC crashed. I rebooted it and it now says i have to reinstall all 130GBs of the sim. When i already installed about 20GBs. Any tips? I dont want to start over because its very slow (Reposted in CTD cause i accidently posted it in MSFS)

Hi, I have installed the swim brief option into MSFS 2020 and changed it from French to English (otherwise, the swim brief does not work). Now, when I launch MSFS 2020, the game always crashes, and I get the message, "Your graphics device has encountered a problem, and the application will exit." Any idea? Ty, for your help. J

Keep trying to figure out why CTD event viewer says g3d .dll can't find a fix ?? went on to other places using same aircraft no CTD?? Would like a fix but thoughts or ideas Thanks

Dear I have issue of CTD without any error in the windows event viewer. So far I have asked in the P3D forum too, but to my regret I could not have solution yet. My sim is V6.1.11 on win11 23H2 build 22631.4249. i7-12700k 4.9GHz, 16GB RAM, RTX3080 10GB. Recently I have upgraded CPU and mother board with uninstalling P3D, deletegeneratedfile.exe, delete all folders and install it by activating again. I am not sure the CTD started at that time, but am aware of it after the upgrade. Because, since add-ons for V6 are very rare I usually have made flights with VFR that means low altitude flight. Anyway, my CTD happens at indicated altitude of climbin…
