1st CTD in about six months with this new patch

Setting up PMDG 777, entering details in the EFB and the whole thing stops responding.

Haven't had a problem in more than six months until now.

AMD Ryzen™ 9 9900X3D, AM5, Zen 5, 12 Core, 24 Threads, 4.4GHz, 5.5GHz Turbo
64GB (2x32GB) DDR5 6000MHz Corsair Vengeance
32GB GeForce® RTX 5090 Graphics Card

tbh that sounds about right for PMDG's EFB. You'll be using it normally for weeks and months and then it randomly crashes the sim. At least, that's my experience with it.

In the FWIW category, I had my first in quite awhile three days ago and I was in the RYTB (Robt Young Turbo Bonanza) messing around in the flight plan screen of the G1000 NXi.

i´ve had the same CTD experience after update to 5.3 and again after update to HF 1. In both cases a fresh rebuild of the p3d.cfg solved this and the Sim runs stable as concrete.

You mean just delete the p3d.cfg?

I'd ignore a one-off CTD. If it happens a second time then consider taking action. My guess is for a mature product like that a reboot of your PC will fix the problem.

Exactly! I usually don´t do this by default or as a standard procedure after updating, but this time i give it a try because i´ve had the feeling it could be important, because of the advice by LM to run the "delete all generated files" and surprisingly it seems it solved the CTD´s in both cases. Don´t forget to make a backup of your existing cfg, that you can easily recall personal settings if you need.

Agree. I have now completed 4 other flights logging 12.7 hours and the CTD I experienced has not reappeared.  I do use Addons Linker and load only what mods and addons I need for each specific flight.  Just so easy to manage and very positive results.
