CTD for me pretty much every flight, am sick to bloody death of this simulator......and I am no novicein flight sim......you know what simulator I will be going back to......Im very patiently waiting and then it will be goodbye to fs2020 and good bloody ridence too

You'll love both... I am sure the other will have it's quirks too after release in beta and while it evolves towards stability...

MFS is a rather complex platform in terms of Internet and Cloud services, so, and even like so there were very few occasions since release that this kind of  "massive" CTD spread through users happened. Let's give ASOBO some time... it's holidays too...

As mentioned by many in this thread and elsewhere, it appears this problem is on the Bing servers side, but - fortunately - not worldwide but apparently essentially Europe, since many in some countries don't understand what we are experiencing and simply report "no problem here".

If you do have frequent CTDs perhaps it would be interesting to list our respective precise locations so as to narrow down geographically the faulty servers:

• Switzerland, Sion (Wallis)
• UK (indicate exact locations in your posts)
• Portugal (same)
• France (same)
• Where else...?

From my experience, Australia -  north of Brisbane heading up towards Cairns. Three CTDs there yesterday, and another today, about 40 minutes out from Archerfield YBAF.

I got a CTD today, I think it was at least six months ago since the last one, got it after adjusting the altimeter.

It's everywhere. CYYZ, KMSY and LLBG. Never made it off the ground.

Have they said anything about when it's gonna be fixed? I want to fly, but have a feeling I wouldn't go far and want to avoid the frustration.

agreed, ran some tests today with my programmer hat on and it is not location specific or add-on specific.

And it can happen at any time.  I have had a few while flying, but I also had two CTD's while downloading updates in the marketplace.  I never had that before.  It was doing nothing else. 

I just left it to download by itself while I made some tea, then on two occasions I found it was back at the windows desktop.

No heat issues or anything.

Still no crashes for me.

I'd be really interested to see the final report on this bug, why isn't it effecting everyone.

This was posted in the MSFS forum topic this morning:

Guys, please add your physical location (Country/State) to your CTD reports here since it might be that the affected issue is regional and so far we don’t have this data collected for the CTDs.

Since the cloud environment is distributed to many locations, might as well be that some of them are affected, some aren’t.

That (physical location) would be an interesting and useful statistic.  From what I gather, the server you select in sim would only change multi-player and not change the location based server for things like Bing, etc..

After no issues all weekend, today i am yet to complete a flight, One instance of the memory CTD, and 2 CTD's with no warning but a freeze of the picture and gone..... Given up for the day.

Locations were : LGKR Crashed during set up for flight

Second departed LGKR CTD just before the Italian Alps

Third EDDM -EGPH CTD just off the NE UK Coast

The other thing i noticed with the last flight was there was no one else anywhere between leaving Munich and the CTD over the UK. it's as if live traffic etc was off, yet the ground and cities were still populating fine, so there must have been some form of feeds, Weather seemed correct as well.

Some sources tell me that ASOBO informatic engineers are fiddling the solution and would have a fix in the coming days, would be announced when released, patch known internally as "buy X-Plane 12".

That one is especially interesting!
They want to us to tell them locations and it crashed already in the user interface. 😌
