This might help narrow down the issue.

A bad AI plane (usually a corrupt texture file) is a very common cause of CTDs...have you tried running the sim with absolutely NO traffic, IOW all traffic sliders set to zero? 

You had said you'd gotten down to nothing but your custom AI and MT6...it could well be that your custom AI is the issue.

It was actually FSPassengers and MT6, I already removed my custom AI. 

Another problem is that I'm literally unable to install any of the debugging programs I've seen like AdPlus.vbs or Microsoft Visual Studio because it ether says installation failed or just loads forever...Honestly, my whole computer is outdated. 

Sometimes just hitting the big reset button and rebuilding Rome from the ground on up is the fastest way out of the hole.  Troubleshooting a problem that might be as innocuous as a single corrupted system file buried deep in the mix can take longer than a full rebuild.

I probably end up doing it once every couple of years on average.

 

Regular or beta version of steam?

I believe it's the standard version

Good, I heard there were some problems with the beta version and some add-ons.

Have you tried verifying your files on Steam yet?  Just to make sure!  This should not affect any addons, just your FSX steam files.

To verify your game files please do the following:

1. Load the Steam platform and log into your account
2. Click the Library tab in the menu at the top of the screen
3. Click the List View from the view options on the top right of the screen
4. Right click on Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition to bring up a popup menu
5. Click on Properties from the popup menu to bring up another popup box
6. Click on Local files from the popup box menu
7. Click on Verify integrity of game cache from the Local file options
8. Wait for the progress bar to finish verifying your files. Additional files may download
9. Restart Steam
10. Restart Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition

 

Okay so my first test was to do a flight without FSPassengers. Surprsingly, I got pretty far into the flight, was able to increase sim speed multiple times with no problem until 3/4 of the way through. (KBOS to LIRF) When the game froze on me and said not responding. It didn't CTD but I ended up having to force-close the app as it wasn't going to budge. An Application Error actually showed up in Event Viewer this time, but unlike other times, the faulting module is something ENTIRELY different.

 

Faulting application name: fsx.exe, version: 10.0.62615.0, time stamp: 0x559f9a9a

I'm might try to fly again tomorrow with AI traffic disabled. 

If it's the AI causing these crashes, then it's either there's something wrong with my MT6 install or my computer sucks.

If CTD still happen afterwards, I'm completely uninstalling the game and trying my luck with my Dell laptop.

I tried with AI at 50% and no FSpassengers.  I was able to get pretty far into the flight before it did another crash. This time it froze for two seconds and the sound skipped a bit before CTD.

This time however, it left no explination or anything on either EventViewer or Appcrashview. All it left was an mdmp file and I can't open them because the program used to open them literally is not able to install on my computer. Can somebody help me? Would I be able to send the MDMP file to someone so they can help me decipher it?

Page 30 of the AVSIM CTD Guide might help.  ACONTAIN.DLL relates to AI.  Same with AIPlayer.

Are you running out of memory?  FSUIPC will let you tract usable memory in real time.  My machine is slightly more powerful that yours but when I added a bunch of add-ons, I started having problems from lack of virtual (?) memory, ie, that memory that's available for a 32 bit process.  I had to dump ORBX and the high definition airports before I could successfully complete a flight.  I understand that AI is a real hog.
