Useless

Recommended Posts

I can't speak for everyone, but there are so many CTDs now that this program has become essentially useless.

I haven't had a CTD in almost a year and a half. I fly about 14 flights a week for a VA, all over the world, in the Fenix.

I've been able to trace all my CTDs to addons and/or setting my LOD too high.  Never have any issues with the vanilla MSFS

I haven't had a CTD in years (well 2020). But if you are having them then this sim is clearly garbage. Millions of users must all be using MSFS everytime they want to reboot their machine.

On a serious note, remove all addons in the community folder and make sure your drivers are all up to date.

If your system is behaving this way, it is your system or setup that is “useless”, not MSFS.  There are literally MILLIONS who are flying it daily and finding it of great use.

Let me guess..you have a 1000 add ons  installed?

I have a F-ton of addons installed for MSFS. Doesn't cause my sim to CTD.

It's about ensuring the add-ons are compatible with the latest SU.

That, plus up-to-date drivers and checking if any overclocks are stable.

Well people  that have 250+ add ons, and keeping them all up to date is like juggling 5 balls at  the same time.

I think I have had one CTD in the last 6 months. Of all the simulators I have used MSFS is the most stable and best performing.

I have to say that MSFS is possibly the most stable flight simulator I have ever used.

I have a lot of addons for the City and County of San Diego, which is where I do most of my flying.  Since SU 11 I consistently experience a CTD (ALMOST every time) when flying any aircraft around the county.  But, using the EXACT same set of AddOns in Los Angles county, or anywhere else, I NEVER experience a CTD.  SO - I am convinced one of the AddOns for San Diego is not SU 11 compatible.  I have updated as many as I can but still CTD.  I am pretty sure none of these crashes are MS or ASOBO caused problems.

Me too, I remember the horror stories that FX and P3D generated every few flights. Glad those days are gone.
