I've had problems with CTDs too. One thing that worked for me is having an empty community folder. Really annoying not to being able to run add-ons from outside of the marketplace but there it is. Even without any add-ons, I'm still struggling with weird autopilot behavior when following a flight plan. It's like the autopilot loses the next waypoint. So there are still bugs that need attention, even after installing the latest update today.

Here's the Event Viewer log for two crashes: Faulting application name: FlightSimulator.exe, version: 1.22.2.0, time stamp: 0x00000000 Faulting module name: FlightSimulator.exe, version: 1.22.2.0, time stamp: 0x00000000 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x0000000001b22bba Faulting process id: 0x1894 Faulting application start time: 0x01d81e60af50f875 Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MicrosoftFlightSimulator\FlightSimulator.exe Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MicrosoftFlightSimulator\FlightSimulator.exe Report Id: a5a44757-89a2-42e8-9360-276d1ab5e340 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID: Faulting application name: FlightSimulator.exe, version: 1.22.2.0, time stamp: 0x00000000 Faulting module name: FlightSimulator.exe, version: 1.22.2.0, time stamp: 0x00000000 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x000000000213a886 Faulting process id: 0x37c4 Faulting application start time: 0x01d81ecb351640af Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MicrosoftFlightSimulator\FlightSimulator.exe Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\MicrosoftFlightSimulator\FlightSimulator.exe Report Id: 4866e238-27ae-4ed2-a41c-658ff3ef1110 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID: I tried the process given here: https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/ctd-fix-info/471880. That fixed 3 files but CTDs continue. I have also tried older and newer nVidia drivers but again, CTDs continue. Cheers, Noel.

I'm also currently unable to complete a flight without the sim crashing. I've tried most of what has been suggested on this thread but no joy, so I'm going to try reinstalling next. 11th Gen i9-11900K @ 3.5GHz | nVidia GeForce RTX 3080 | Corsair 64 GB RAM | Samsung 970 EVO Plus 2TB | Asus 27" RoG G-Sync Track IR5 | Thrustmaster Warthog | CH Products Pedals

Installed the patch for the Steam version. Now the sim won't respond to my Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog. The sim knows the peripherals are connected, just wont accept inputs. Tried a clean install as recommended and still nothing. Should I delete all the files and folders and download the sim again from scratch? Cheers, Noel.

Yes, I value the RealAir attention to detail above all else. I'm never disappointed with the quality of their planes, whereas other makers, even the big names, often have little problems that take patches to fix. Still, if RealAir can release in December, then it will mean more sales, me among them. Cheers, Noel.

The RealAir site indicates the Turbine Duke V2 is in development. http://www.realairsimulations.com/home.php?page=home Has anyone heard if RealAir intend to release it before Xmas? Their B60 was magic and I'd love to see what they can do with the turbine model. Cheers, Noel.

Hi Guys, I felt I should pass on my experience with a Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog, in case any of you were considering purchasing it. This may be the most expensive joystick/throttle combination on the market, retailing for over $500 from many suppliers; in fact, I paid almost $600, including tax and shipping costs (it is all metal construction and VERY heavy). Thing is, the joystick lasted a little over 3 years and now none of the buttons work. The warranty is only 2 years and neither the manufacturer nor the retailer want to know me, not even if the repair is at my cost. Obviously there is a chance that I was simply unlucky and that others experience will be different. But the attitude of the manufacturer and the retailer is the thing that gets me. Do they really think a $600 joystick that fails within 3 years is an acceptable value proposition? Cheers, Noel.

I'm shocked! This worked for me out of the box (just set 30 fps). Massive increase in performance at Orbx YMML with full overcast. I guess I averaged 10 fps improvement from 16 to around 26, even hitting 30 fps on occasion. Cheers, Noel.

There's also DCS World and Arma 3 for those interested in military sims. They both have their own strengths and weaknesses but I still return to FSX because is has largest feature set and third parties can produce killer aircraft and plausible environments, even if the trees look horrible by modern graphical standards. Cheers, Noel.

Yep, Aarnet is fast, but only when the server at the other end is also up to the task, which is not often. Obviously I bought the academic version of P3D. Cheers, Noel.

Results when tested a few minutes ago: 783.47 Mbps down 946.72 Mbps up Cheers, Noel.

I have V2, downloaded in less than 5 min. L-M must have one masssive server farm... Cheers, Noel.

Photoscenery looks good at high altitude, not so good on the ground. It needs to be paired with good mesh and autogen, otherwise it can look flat. And often only one season is presented. My favorite photoscenery is of Hawaii, either MegaScenery payware or there is some excellent freeware by Ironhand for some islands. http://en.shop.aerosoft.com/eshop.php?action=article_detail&s_supplier_aid=12047&position=54694711&anzahl_treffer=267 http://www.lockonfiles.com/files/category/28-fsx-scenery-packs/ Cheers, Noel.

Thanks, but it seems to be offline. Maybe their server is down on right now. I'll try again tomorrow. Cheers, Noel.
