April 15, 200719 yr Every so often while flying merrily along, FS9 will just vanish completely off the screen as though it were never started. It seems to happen if I perform a command with the joystick. (using Saitek X45). There is never any sign of a problem prior, it just goes. I check the task manager it's it's just not there. Happens every few flights and it's frustrating. Anyone have this happen?
April 16, 200719 yr Do a search for "CTD" or "Crash to Desktop" and you will find 1.756 billion posts related to this problem. There's even a forum for CTDs buried somewhere here in the AVSIM forums.RegardsBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VSantiago de Chile Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case

April 16, 200719 yr I've looked but see no 'forum' and many of these complaints are also accompanied by error messages. This problem didn't start til about 2 weeks ago and I've had FS9 since it came out. I get no warning or error message, it just goes. Near as I can tell from some of the posts, it might have to do with cloud textures? Using Active Sky but have been using that for a long time too.

April 16, 200719 yr Thank you for this but most of those posts are for FSX and involve something else.that I'm not encountering. What I've picked up so far is there is no fix for it and no one really knows why it happens. I'm just curious because I ran FS9 for quite some time with no problem so I'm not sure what's changed. But thanks anyway.
April 16, 200719 yr search in the library for this file scanafd.zipit will find duplicate afcad files, that usually is the cause of sudden crashes with no error messages
April 16, 200719 yr As has been stated above, these problems could be due to anyone of a hundred reasons. But, if they started about two weeks ago, MS came out with 5 "security" updates about that time. It's sometimes been the case that not all of these updates load correctly ( especially if you use "Automatic Updates" ), and they can cause CTD. Try reloading the updates ( go to MS Updates in Windows ) and see if that helps.I only mention this since these updates were introduced during that time frame.John M
