CTD breakouts from time to time?

Featured Replies

I usually use MSFS for helicopters and virtually never have CTDs. 

I bought the Kodiak on Saturday and can hardly complete a flight without it CTD.

I updated my graphics driver, did disk cleanup, and repaired MSFS.

I flew helicopters around for a few hours earlier today with no problems.

I loaded up the PMDG 737 tonight for the first time in months, and 30 minutes in to the flight had a CTD again.

If the problem is quite possibly not at my end, I'd rather not faff about with uninstalls and reinstalls etc. Rather wait a few days hoping it was a MSFS or Asobo issue. Is it normal that sometimes frequent CTDs happen due to their servers etc? With helicopters, I am moving slowly and at low altitude, and there seems to be no issue there.

What are you MSFS settings? NVIDIA settings? Have you removed every single addon, livery and third-party software first and tried with a completely vanilla sim using a default plane? I have the Kodiak and PMDG planes and do not have these issues so I wouldn't particularly blame Asobo. Only helicopters not affected? What about default planes? 

We need more answers and to hear what you've done first before anything else....

Every so often, possibly during updates, my settings are changed to DX12, and a lot of graphics settings to ultra etc. As soon as I notice I change back to DX11, and mostly standard graphics settings to leave plenty in the tank for performance. 

All my settings had been changed by MSFS just before I got all the CTDs after installing the Kodiak. 

It could be the PMDG CTD was a one off after reducing / changing my settings again. However, sprnding 30 minutes setting up flights, and flying for a further 20-30 minutes before a CTD is absolutely not the hobby for me so I may only use it for helicopters for a while, then if it CTD again when I fly a plane I will uninstall and reinstall. 

In the past I used PMDG and Fenix a lot had no, or very few CTDs. I just prefer P3D for airliners as I am used to it, so usually MSFS is for helicopters for me.
