MSFS 2020 exits or closes

Featured Replies

Hello,

                          Has anyone experiencing this situation: After I choose departure airport and arrival and click to fly........flightsim closes or exits. Can anyone help me on this thanx....appreciated it.......

Are you using any mods or add-on airports? I find this happens quite often after installing a new airport - try deleting rolling cache, but often it will work OK after a reload or two. Good luck!

This is often caused by a community- or even commercial addon.
In my case it was the Global AI Ship traffic addon but it could be any addon that either crashes MSFS on its own or in combination with another.

Similar to orchestra, global shipping caused lockups for me but my PC would instantly freeze when I hit Fly. Since removing GAIST, no issues. 

Now and again, yes.  And with stock airports and aircraft I have flown in the same session.  It doesn't happen often enough to irritate me but there doesn't seem to be any logic to it.
