My first MSFS crash

[mattloveday1987 4]

Hi All

Just had my first CTD flying back to rome to egll on the Fenix A320... Something about a graphic issue... anyway while i try and figure that out i miss the P3D days of FSUIPC autosave backing up a flight... is ther a way to do this which remembers positon/FMC status etc?

Thanks

Did you check the windows event viewer to see what caused the crash? You can then Google the error

HEEEYYYY.  I'm glad you posted this.  Yesterday I also had my first MSFS crash where it twice crashed with a graphics overload kind of issue.  I freaked out because I thought my video card was acting up, but it seems like a hiccup with the sim because it did not happen again.  For me it was even more odd because it happened while trying to takeoff at KDFW and eventually I ended up hitting some sort of invisible object that had never been there before.  I wonder if the servers were having issues yesterday.

Might also be worth checking for any windows update and then do the following:

One thing I have started doing as house cleaning after each major update is deleting the DX cache and shaders and then open command prompt as an administrator and run the following:

Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /checkhealth

Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /scanhealth

Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth

sfc /scannow

Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore

Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup

what I hate also if that happens after a long flight and you loose a log book entry for the hours flown. what I do sometimes to at least manually re-create the situation: I log my flights with LittleNavMap, that allows at least to visually inspect your location where the crash occurred and then you could restart and manually re-position via slew mode. not perfect but until a better solution arrives  ...

unless this interim-state-saving mechanism has already been requested, we should do so in the official flightsimulator forum and bring this up in an upcoming twitch session.

someone has already developed a tool, haven't tried it yet myself :

"The other option is to use one of the flight recorders. I use Sky Dolly 14. If I experience a system crash, I just rewind the flight to right before the crash, stop the playback and carry on."
