Try downloading a fresh copy of Traffic controller from AIG website and delete your original copy. Install new copy of TC. If you're using the Beta version of 2024, sometimes TC and 2024 don't play well together. But I never had a problem with AIG freezing my system. My issue is TC just crashes and all AI will turn off and I have to restart TC again.

Hi Bigmack. I will try as you suggest and download a fresh copy of TC and see if it helps. I will report back. By the way, I have experienced your problem with TC crashing as well. Thanks.

Also, you can try uninstalling and re-installing your nav data if you're using Navigraph. Sometimes that may become corrupted and cause CTD.

As others have said, these types of freezes are normally hardware related, not software.

The last time I had these types of hardware issues (freezes / bluescreens etc.) was just after MSFS2020 released. I traced it to my RAM going bad.

I put it through the BIOS RAM test and it kept failing every time after just a few seconds. It passed the test fully multiple times when I originally built the PC about two and a half years earlier. This is the second time this has happened to me in the last 12 years, and with complete new builds.

Basically, RAM can degrade over time, just like CPU's can, especially when run on XMP.
Nothing wrong with XMP; that is why we buy at that specification of course, but some brands seem to degrade, and sometimes it is just the random hardware lottery you get. Some can last for years and years at XMP settings, while others not so long.

I solved my issue by purchasing new RAM (which would be painful at the moment with the prices) and putting it through the BIOS test - perfect results.

As I wanted to preserve my RAM I run at XMP minus 800, all good. Some gaming tests there is less than 5% performance difference between standard RAM base clocks such as 3200 / 3600 and XMP settings anyway. I have done quick tests running mine at 5200 and 6000 and couldn't see any noticeable performance issue at the lower setting, so 5200 it is for me to take some of the heat and load off it - I wouldn't want to have to replace it at the moment!

Ok everyone, just an update regarding my issues. My copy of msfs2024 is functioning beautifully now, thank you to jcomm for pointing me to the XMP = OFF fix that worked for me! Regarding AIG traffic controller crashing and freezing my entire pc, I have given up on it after trying everything I could find online and in forums, nothing has worked for me. I already owned a copy of Just Flight Traffic for 2024 and have that up and running ok, although I do think it's not as good as AIG, I feel it's better to have something rather than nothing at all populating the airports and skies. Anyway I just wanted to say a big thank you to all who offered their kind support.

Best regards and clear skies.

Are you running TC.exe as adminestrator?

Hi Bigmack. Yes I am.

That's crazy about your TC. I'm in the middle of a 3 hr flight now, and TC has been working great for me so far. My only other suggestion is to post what's happening on AIG support forum. They most likely ask you to attach a copy of TC log files so they can troubleshoot why TC is causing you problems. I've done it many times and they pretty much always figured out what was going on.

Open terminal (admin) and type the following: sfc /scannow

If you are in windows 11 just right click over windows icon and select it.

This utility will analyse windows integrity and repair any system corrupted files.

The correct method is as follows....

Run the following commands (w/admin rights) and when all completed successfully and without error/s. In the following order:

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

RESTART computer as the last step.

Hi Gentlemen. udidwht, I did the above as per your intructions but again with no joy, in fact when I right click on the icon,(run as admin), it won't open at all now, and yes bigmack, I would be pulling my hair out if I had any. I just don't get what's happened, it used to work fine! As I mentioned before I have installed Just Flight Traffic 2024 and it's doing a reasonable job and although not as good as AIG I'm going to stick with it for now as I want to get some flying done in my 70th year before I shuffle off this mortal coil 🤣! On a side note, I downloaded the latest 2024 update yesterday and all is good for me, I'm quite impressed! Thank you again gentlemen for your kind support.

Best regards.

Just a quick question concerning AIG, have you upgraded the AI to the 2024 models? When was the last time you ran the AIG manager and updated?

Yes I have version 1.4.0.1 of AI Manager and I am totally up to date with the 2024 models.
