I remember that X Plane thing, had David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson in it didn't ?  They stopped making it around 2018 I think.

Doing a little self-convincing 😂.

and in the xplane 12 settings menu, select "re-install MSFS, but this time temporarily without any addons in COMMUNITY folder" .

Unless your on a AMD based machine, where they wrecked your enjoyment by releasing an update the other day that caused instant CTD's to anyone running AMD GPU's. A year in and it's still has sim stopping issues.

You mean the optional BETA update that was literally solved less than 24 hours later in beta update 6?

I do indeed. 

you mean the one that has the best atmospheric lighting in the industry? MSFS 2024 needs this, it's the only reason for me to sometimes go behind enemy lines, when it gets dark:

Why would he do that? That's like installing an inferior flight simulator, for many in this forum.

Dunno why you say this is one of the best atmospheric lighting in the industry, I much prefer the MSFS lighting than the X-Plane lighting.

Still CTD's...

I have spent way to long on this but if anyone out there has any further suggestions I am willing to try

Well I had a similar experience maybe a year or so ago. What I did was pretty easy for me but could be extreme depending on what all you keep on your computer:

I removed all my files, pictures, videos, etc to an external drive (SSD or USB Stick etc) then I went to Windows 10 setting and selected “Reset This PC” and basically erased the entire drive (I have a 4GB Samsung SSD) and reinstalled Windows 10. It’s a pain in the rear to reinstall everything (Printer, LibreOffice, Adobe, etc). When it was done, I next totally updated Windows 10 thru the standard Windows Update feature followed by Nvidia updates.

Once updated, I finally reinstalled MSFS 2020. I did NOT add any additional stuff, just the basic program (Premium Deluxe edition). Then I used it a while and it worked great. So next I reinstalled all the ‘payware’ sceneries and planes I bought. Again, I used it a while and it worked great. Next I slowly added ‘freeware’ to the Community Folder and tried it. Well I eventually got a CTD again. So I deleted all the recent freeware since my last ‘test’ and it has worked flawlessly for at the past year or so and continues to work fine.

The culprit in my case was Hawaii sceneries I downloaded from flightsim.to. So now I just use the default Hawaii scenery and have zero issues. Now if a designer will make PHNL 🙂

Will this work for you? Who knows. Maybe as a last resort because, again, it’s very time consuming. It takes hours just for the ‘Reset’ to erase everything and reinstall Win10 but you don’t have to sit in front of it!

Best of luck!

and the realtek sound software

Remove all the sound drivers. If you’re running a Nvidia driver, do a complete uninstall of the driver and when you reinstall do NOT install the HD audio driver. That right there was a turning point in the sim for me. The audio drivers cause a lot of problems.

LOL.  As if this shot's gonna convince anyone to go over to X-Plane 12.

Nice try though.
