CTD on approach ILS 27 into KMIA

[andradef 59]

Second attempt, second CTD. On the first one I had the Miami Lights MOD installed. Disabled that, but still got CTD. Now I am going to try doing a manual cache of the KMIA area and see if that helps. My thought is that the CTD happened both times when I got to a point where a lot of elements around the airport were starting to load. If this has anything to do with bandwidth issues, I am thinking that with the manual cache the problem won't happen. Trying to isolate the problem...

No CTD this time. When I was on short final got massive stuttering, but I guess my CTD's may have been related with MSFS trying to download scenery and render it all at the same time. Maybe it bottlenecked and caused the crash?

try it with photogrammetry off and it will be a lot better, and yes its download stutters.

maybe also live traffic off.  too much being done at same time..

might be a bit better after the update.

And… how much RAM do you have? After a long flight, approaching a complex and detailed airport with sim settings on high/ultra can push your system to CTD

I have 32 GB, Intel Core i9 (9820X), RTX 3080, running 3 x 1080p monitors. So, it’s not a top configuration but still pretty decent.  The flight wasn’t long BTW. I flew from KPMP to KMIA.

Payware airport? Any cityscape in use?

No airport scenery for KMIA (standard MSFS airport). The only city scenery I had in that area was the Miami night light mod but I removed it before my second test.

Wow! With your system specs the issue is quite surprising.  Look at my specs (footer).  I have no issues flying into KMIA. Albeit with only one monitor and mid-to mid-high level settings and 2560 X 1440.  Have you tried using different combinations of video connects to the monitors?  HDMI vs Display Port?

When you add up the number of pixels of my three 1080p monitors, it's almost as many pixels as a 4k monitor. So, even with the decent specs I have, I think my settings are too high. I have ultra and high on most things, some with medium.
