Is there anyway to pinpont which module/addon is causing CTD?  in xplane it will most of the time tell you which app caused an issue. besides testing each and every addon out for hours upon hrs , is there any quick way that is available?  In event viewer you can see MSFS crashed, but besides the code it gives nothing else. 

Hi,

Not sure if you are already using it, and whether it provides more info that the event viewer, but I am using the AppCrashViewer utility to try to pinpoint what might be causing my CTDs. For what is worth, I was getting the "Access Violation" error, with no specific modules at fault.

Upon reading more about it, the consensus is that type of error is likely related to a hardware malfunction (driver, memory slot, USB controller, etc ...). After an unsuccessful process of elimination, i reluctantly decided to reinstall the sim (have the steam version). Since then, no more CTD, so go figure.

Lastly, you may want to check the dedicated CTD sub-forum here to see if it helps you further.

Best of luck.

 

All we can hope for is that Asobo keep finding more causes for those CTD's and fix them. If FS2020 were coded properly, it would "catch" those exceptions, even those caused by faulty scenery or other addons, and display a useful error message indicating what went wrong. In software design, simply exiting silently to the desktop with no error messages is indicative of very poorly coded software. Since the software itself provides no information, all you can really do as an end user is employ trial and error by selectively disabling add-ons until the crashes stop.
