It could well be that the CTDs have nothing whatsoever to do with GSX I just don't know. But it would be a very strange coincidence that on Friday with GSX installed I was getting frequent random CTDs, yesterday without it I had no problems whatsoever and today, having reinstalled it I was back to square one with a very annoying CTD.

Your CTDs could well be caused by GSX, but I do see a long thread on the MSFS forums where users are suddenly getting CTDs who never had them before, and many of those affected are on SU9 - not SU10 beta. It seemed to start around Aug 14th-15th.

New CTDs in the beta are one thing, but since SU9 has not been updated for weeks, I would assume this is caused by some kind of corruption in an incoming data stream - scenery or live weather or live traffic etc. A common characteristic of this particular CTD for many appears to be related to NTDLL with an error code 0xc0000374. Something to look for in the event viewer if you have a crash with GSX

Yes I've also noted this. I really hope that it's actually not GSX and that an unfortunate coincidence has occurred. Time will tell. At present I, once again, have been crash free having uninstalled GSX.

Try turning off live weather.

Yep, add me to that list, and it was happening before GSX came out.

Just had a CTD having uninstalled GSX. I'm now thinking there is something amiss and the fact that GSX has just been released is a coincidence.

It is probably very unfortunate timing that GSX was released just when this new CTD problem arose in MSFS affecting many users in both SU10 beta and original SU9. It makes it difficult to separate CTDs caused specifically by GSX from CTDs that are unrelated.

If a CTD throws an error code of 0xc0000374 and referencing NTDLL, it is probably not GSX that caused it.

I'm not getting this either and mind you, I've used GSX for P3D for years and years so I am very familiar with the product's in's and out's. Which is the best alternate pushback out there now for MSFS?

There's none even getting close to what GSX offers. Toolbar pushback has severe memory issues for months and is not been updated for months (abandoned?). FS2Crews Pushback Express is okay-ish, you manually move a shiny arrow to where you want your pushback to go (you cannot see the end position though, so it can crash you into a wall in certain cases). It does not really work with anything else than the 737 and the A320 because it does not understand how long your aircraft is. It will push the CRJ or CJ4 into the terminal or grass or another aircraft. But FS2Crews PBE would be the best of the worst, if you really don't want to get GSX. I was using it before GSX and as said it worked okayish if you don't mind the problems.

These posts here saved me 30 € and probably hours of hassle. 

Reading on the FSDT website says a demo version is available for all their software. If I decide to try GSX I'd go that route first.

FS2 Crew pushback was recently updated, and works great now.

This topic & thread is a good example of why we wanted MSFS to be a fully working sim instead of a platform for 3rd party developers.

My conclusion is that MSFS is just another FSX/P3D & XPlane.

What we wanted to avoid is now a reality because ASOBO chose to focus on enhancing the scenery instead of focusing on the important core sim features we've clamored for since the day the sim released.

How unfortunate for GSX to release coincidentally at the exact moment MSFS SU9 users started to get a spat of CTD's. Lots of people who never bought GSX are getting CTD's. The other forums are full of complaints right now.

Yeah well it was unrealistic MSFS would bring everything people want from a flight sim out-of-the-box. Whoever thought this was pretty naive. It's logical (business-wise) that Asobo/MS go for the lowest common denominator in the most cases.
