2020 is now locked in the hanger awaiting either future fixes, rollbacks (yeh right) or complete removal at whatever point in future the first 2 clearly won't happen. 

The downgrade to scenery is depressing but... Not game ending. The stability though is now so bad 2 flights out of 4 have locked windows 11 completely. The first required task manager to force log off to exit the crashed sim. The 2nd and final straw required a power button reset of my recently rebuilt and clean machine. I don't allow apps to run that compromise my work pc with hard resets PERIOD. 

So I'm (temporarily?) back to an older, more stable, more configurable, better looking (in addon scenery areas only) simulator for the foreseeable future. 

It's great to have backup choices, sad that you have to use them. 

 

Have a look in the Windows event log. See anything post it up here. SU 16 has been one of the best SU releases there has been.

It's the RAM. If you run OCCT RAM + CPU test and crashes in a few minutes, you have a hardware / BIOS config problem.

Thank you. It certainly appears to have been... Shut down and re-seated the RAM sticks. System now working OK, however re-started MSFS and downloading is stuck at the decompressing 95/95 FS-Base-generic airports file for over 3 hours now...

Can someone please tell me exactly whether the quality of the ground textures and landscape (sharpness, colors, visibility far) in the FS2020 sim after SU16 is affected by whether I start the sim

"as is"

or

with MSFS2020 Map Enhancement:

Bing latest version

or

Google map

or

ArcGIS

I haven't figured it out myself.

As is looks great from what I can infer.  Still has the odd coloring in a lot of places but there is also a lot more "color" in the 2020 palette opposed to everything having the same green tinge to it... 

Clarity is great, I can literally see the rows of headstones from 3-4000 ft in the cemetery next to the Parkway as I depart Newark.  Exactly what you see in real life.  All of the details like the lines in the fields that were in 2024 are now in 2020.

Can't speak to the Map Enhancement but SU16 was certainly a core base texture enhancement for MSFS.

Loving post SU16 so far! All of my old addons still work!😅

 

Others, including me have been having CTDs when using add ons with traffic injection and flying in China and the far east, Beyond ATC and FSLTL for example. Turn it off and you won't get the CTDs.

That error code is very generic and is not necessarily indicative of a RAM issue.

I got the same code

Any fix?

Is it driver related? Or windows ?

So I did some testing 

Everytime i uninstall nvidia driver with ddu.

And then i install latest 

Sim starts up fine.

I then close the sim and restart it it, gets to about 90% the. CTD.

Only happened after su16 and i have updated all content etc and tried with empty community folder.

No nvidia app installed.

 

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Mike

You're not trying to use DX11, are you?

It's broken since the last 2 driver releases.

It's broken full stop. I have used the 566.36 drivers since the start of the year, and the PC reboot problem when loading MSFS 2020 in DX11 mode only started a week ago (after some Windows 10 updates.....).

I had a similar issue - it turned out that I had an issue with the RAM. The memory had been overclocked and after it was rest to be the normal timing, it was fine.

I would suggest that you  run the OCCT RAM + CPU test and see if there are any hardware problems.
