Maybe it's not a specific scenery, maybe it's the large number? Looks like you have a lot more than the typical user. Maybe you've hit some limit in the sim.

That or two sceneries that don't play nice together

Aside from removing my 100+ addons and slowly restarting the sim to test...anyone found a good way to see what addons could be causing CTD's?

Are  you actually loading that many addons at a time?  I use the AddonsLinker to position only those specific mods and scenery that I need for a particular flight.  That method for me started long ago with FSX photoreal sceneries with the much appreciated SceneryConfigurator app.

There's your solution.

I wonder if the Xbox flyers will actually spend time....flying!  It seems half of the time in here people spend installing mods, hacks, community add-ons, graphics editors, then troubleshooting why things don't work after a patch is installed, in a nutshell anything but....flying!

Well, in this case our hobby is just like doing model trains, where actual driving is just a fraction of the hobby, and most of it is shopping, tweaking, building ect.

I would start by removing sceneries that are larger than a couple of hundred megabytes. All those Google sourced cities for example. I only have a couple installed, like DTLA and Disney, and they're fine. My CTD's were caused by A320 liveries.

I know what you mean I recall it from being a kid and playing army w/ the little green plastic soldiers.  You would spend all the time setting stuff up and then when it was time to 'play army' with them, there really wasn't anything to do!  

I'm probably morphing over towards the Xbox side as I really value things to 'just work' and always work towards the goal of spending all of my time flying.  No community hacks, no community add-ons, and I'm patient now to see where Asobo takes it.  It's quite good out of the box I feel--so I don't miss the inane setup one does to get P3D up and running well.  I do use one crutch in P3D, and that is FSCaptain, which provides meaning to 'just flying' for me.  I long for the day it's available in MSFS, and the dev would love to do it but the SDK is still too weak in terms of Lvars for their product.

Yeah I think XBOX will be a good choice for many. And all the add-ons will sooner or later be in the marketplace anyways. However, you'll be missing out on all of the free stuff.
