I tried at least 5 times to get a flight going when using the native version of Flightbeam's KSFO. I kept getting a CTD during the Pre-Flight phase (FENIX A321) about 5-10 minutes in. I had version 7.0.3 version of the noolaero-module-vgds installed, so I went to the Flightbeam website and found a newer version, 8.0.0 and updated the module (Flightbeam uses this Visual Docking system in their sceneries). I am currently flying from KSFO to KSAN and have experienced NO CTD. Maybe the version I was using was outdated or corrupted? I hope this truly fixed my issue. Also, this might help anyone else with a similar issue. Please don't turn this into a MSFS2020 vs. MSFS2024 debate. 😉

Just curious if you're in the su4 beta. I dont have vds installed I use that scenery a few times during the beta and got a ctd. Probably why i did 😜

No, still SU3, but may be worth a try. I may be wrong, but I believe Flightbeam sceneries require the noolaero VGDS module installed to function properly.

Of note as well, I had no CTD regarding my flight mentioned above, if that's any consolation.

Good to know. I guess I didnt RTFM again... 🤣  Like the first time I fired up the Bae146.

So the culprit is more the noolaero-module-vgds than the FlightBeam KSFO? I use the scenery as my benchmark area but I don't have installed the VGDS module as I'm flying from Signature FBO 😉

I assume that, since I could never get a full flight started with Flightbeam KSFO loaded. Last night I also loaded PACSim KSLC with which I always had a CTD in MSFS2024 The flight was a successful one. However, KSLC is a MSFS2020 product only, NOT MSFS2024 Native (PACSim have not officially updated their Airports to MSFS2024). I did notice though, I had an FPS drop of about 40% with stuttering using the KSLC scenery, possibly not fully optimized for MSFS2024. PACSim recommend using noolaero-module-vgds as well.
