As I said several days ago: I had this problem frequently in early fall 2022. Tried all the suggestions found here and the problem continued intermittently. I finally gave up fixing it and accepted the CTDs at which time the problem stopped and I have not had a CTD/graphics error in the last three months. I fly several hours a day about 25-days a month.

This NOT a new problem - I was getting the error fairly consistently in early fall 2022. Temps were always low, VRAM and system memory usage was low. Tried DX11 / DX12 / several different drivers. Nothing fixed it - just kept happening. Sometimes frequently sometimes only once every couple days. The problem persisted for several weeks and then stopped occurring and has never reoccurred. I did nothing to try to resolve it.

Questions about the T-37 - after a lot of landing and takeoff fun I parked the plane but could find no way to turn off the engines. I shut down all the electrical I could find and even did an emergency fuel system shutoff (under the red guard) but the engines kept running. I finally pulled the two fire knobs at the top of the instrument panel the engines stopped. But, there must be a better way. I was flying into/out of Page Field (KPGA) in Utah. The VOR there is 117.6 and there is a published VOR approach. I had the radio set to 117.6/Main but the VOR instrument never registered a signal of any kind. Is there something I don't understand about VOR in a military jet? I seldom fly jets - I am low and slow but the T-37 is fun to fly and I love all the round gauges. Does this (MSFS) version have the autopilot? I sure cannot find it and the plane is really sensitive in pitch! At 10,000' and 75% power going from -1% to +1% changes VS from -1500 to + 1800.

Just downloaded the RV-14 update, BEFORE, I saw this thread. AVAST virus scan that I just ran found no virus, no malware in the RV-14. My definitions are up to date so I sure hope AVAST is as good as they think they are because I was flying the Tweet when I saw this post. I do have AVAST running whenever I download.

I am trying to install Axis and Ohs but get the message "This app cannot run on your PC" I run LorbyAxisAndOhs_install_MSFS as an administrator. ALL security is turned off Following is my software configuration: MSFS 1.30.12.0 Win 10 21H2 Cumulative update for .NET Framework ... 4.8.1 and KB5022728 VC++ (x64) 14.34.31938 VC++ (x86) 14.30.30704 Net Framework 4.8.04084 What am I doing wrong?

Saitek ST290Pro and Thrustmaster Airbus Flight sticks - I have always used the hat switch to look up, left, right, down and the 45° degree view for each direction. Prior to yesterday the POV would stay right where I had moved it, e.g. 60° aft to right. Now - the POV moves to the appropriate location but then slowly migrates back to straight ahead (default cockpit location). Even if I hold the hat switch hard to the right (for example) the POV will return to straight ahead. My ST290Pro has been sitting on the shelf for a week and I just plugged it back in and the single engine prop profile came up - but the POV works as described unlike when I moved th eST290Pro to the retired controller shelf. I've tried locking the Look... but it still migrates forward. My sensor suite for USB controllers show the switch is generating the correct signal and is NOT changing while the POV is moving forward. What has changed? How do I get a POV to stay where I am looking with the hat switch?

I found several messages at the official MS site about the sim treating all throttle AXES inputs as collective inputs; moving the collective up/down and not moving/rotating the throttle on the collective. All of the threads eventually end with no suggested fix or resolution. I have the problem with all my sim controls (Thrustmaster Airbus throttle quadrant and addon and Joystick, CH Yoke, Saitek ST290Pro joystick acting that way in all three helicopter's I fly: Cabri G2, MD500, Bell 406. The USB game setup app and various other USB control monitors all show the appropriate axis being actuated as I move them on the controller. All the controllers work fine with all the other fixed wing aircraft. I have tried every throttle control (including helicopter) I can find in the control profiles and in every case using an AXIS for throttle input moves the collective. Assigning buttons to the helicopter throttle increase/decrease makes the helicopter throttle move as I wish without moving the collective. But - WHY can't an axis input control the helicopter throttle?

For me with a 600+ Mbs internet - the big advantage of the premium membership is NO Countdown - as soon as I click Download - it starts with no waiting. I think $5/month is cheap for the kind of service they provide

Guimbal Cabri G2 I have no problem flying around, sigh seeing, hovering, and landing in semi-controlled state with assist ON or OFF. However, occasionally, after I land I cannot get the G2 to take off. In an external view I can see the cyclic action move the blades in lateral and longitudinal and the collective/cyclic/pedals in the cockpit all move and the gauges show the appropriate numbers. But no takeoff and no motion in any direction. In the external view the camera moves up-down-left-right as if it were following the G2 based on control inputs. But, the G2 stays frozen on the ground. This happens in about 1 out of five flights. Any ideas? I've done the whole Modern/Legacy/Modern thing.

Same world map freeze was happening here for about 10-days last month. The reason it started was unknown and the reason the problem disappeared and now never occurs is also a mystery.

Now I am getting annoyed! I have my CPU and GPU carefully overclocked. I run all the 3DMark CPU and GPU benchmarks and stress tests with no problems, artifacts, or overheating. I can run GPU stress tests with TimeSpy Extreme on an endless loop with no problems. I also stress test with Kombustr4, NovaBench, Unigine Heaven BenchMark 4.0, and GeekBench 5 with no problems. But, MSFS is giving the Graphics error message before the initial splash screen (running DX11) I know how much I have to lower the GPU OC but why in the world can all those GPU stress tests run OK yet MSFS quits on me?

I was on DX12. I switched to DX11 with no other changes and have had no graphics CTD in four sessions and three hours of flight.

I just spent an hour, (late afternoon/rush hour), flying very low and slowly around central Puget Sound (Seattle area) which was my home sailing area for 45-years. I crossed the Seattle ferry routes run by Washington State Ferries about five times and always had at least two routes in sight: Seattle - Winslow (Eagle Harbor the home base of the Ferry fleet) Seattle - Bremerton Fauntleroy - Vashon-Southworth Kingston - Edmonds All of those routes have two boats (the really big ones) running about 20-hours a day. There is always at least one boat underway on each route. And, if they are not underway they are docked either at end of their route. In an hour of flying I saw one ferry on the Seattle - Bremerton run and NOT a ONE on any other route. And there were no ferries docked at any of the ferry landings. There were NO ships anchored in Elliot Bay while my experience is that there are never less than three or four waiting for a berth while anchored. I did see a couple container ships, a gasoline barge, and a break bulk ship underway south of Seattle but none between Seattle (West Point) and Admiralty Inlet. There are ALWAYS many big ocean going ships underway between the Straits of Juan de Fuca and Seattle. I've changed the traffic settings to many different levels, including those the GAIST doc recommends. I cannot make the ferries appear and the traffic in the Sound is about 1/5 of what is really there. I have V3 and North American routes in my Community Folder. What should I do to see more traffic, especially the very interesting Washington State Ferries.

I started getting this error on an ever more frequent basis just after Christmas. I installed the latest Game Ready Nvidia driver and it seemed to solve the problem. Then around New Years the problem returned and was occurring on almost every flight. I made some changes to the Graphics profile in MSFS and the problem disappeared for several days. Then it reappeared on about 20% of my flights. I reverted both the CPU (i7-9700K) and graphics card (RTX 3060 Ti) back to stock, as from the factory, settings. The problem still occurs on a somewhat regular basis. Verified the GPU temp never exceeds 63-dgrees C. Just had the problem CTD after an hour of flying. The REALLY annoying part of the problem (CTD) in leaves Steam in a state where it thinks MSFS is still running but Task Manager shows no MSFS is running. I then stop MSFS from within Steam but when I try to restart the Sim - Steam says it is still running. I then have to stop and restart Steam to get the Steam/MSFS connection back to where I can restart Steam. Occasionally, like right now!, even after restarting Steam it keeps telling me that MSFS is still running. The only I can make Steam work is to RESTART windows. A real PITA! I never had the this problem prior to late December 2022. My hardware has been unchanged for over a year. The only thing I added was a new 48" OLED display so I can run MSFS at 4K. What the heck is going on?

NO - this happens when creating a new flight. Never a problem loading a stored flight plan.

Occasionally - the Flight Planner will allow me to specify Departure and Arrival and clicking on any waypoint or other navaid results in the ADD option but the waypoint does NOT get added. This happens in VOR, GPS, IFR routes. At other times the add function does not work and I also cannot move the map. The direct route shows and zooming in/out works and the navaids show but I cannot ADD and cannot move the display. This happens with an empty Community folder and in both Full and Windowed mode. The non-moving map only occurs AFTER I specify a Departure and Arrival airport. I can always move the map if no route info is specified. Today I had the problem with at least 50 addons specified and could not ADD anything to the direct route from Departure to Arrival. I closed the sim and restarted it and everything in the planner worked as it should. OR - If I move to another airport as the departure; the ADD function may work. For Example KTIW - KORS No ADD KSAN - KORS Good ADD KFHR - KRNT No ADD any pair of airports in California - Good ADD any California airport as Departure - Good ADD any Washington (State) airport as Departure - No ADD all of the testing above was in the SAME sim session On another day - I can ADD waypoints to Washington routes but cannot ADD to any flight out of KSAN I have had this problem for at least a year (the no ADD) but the inability to move the map is very recent. Any ideas?

flying below 8,000' in the 172 G1000 I consistently see winds >25 knots from directions that are >90° off from what I specified, prior to takeoff but with the plane on the runway. In the Weather pull down I see 8 knots gusting to 12 knots at 5,000' AGL. I pull down the Wx tab and verify the settings remain the same as previously specified. I then make a very small change in the Wx tab and subsequent winds in the Sim flight are as I specified.

Long Beach, California - I see 10 or so ships in the anchorage while flying over the harbor with V3. When I get within 1/2 mile and 1000' AGL of some of the ships - they start spinning and making a circular wake but never moving from their point of rotation. At times they spin in a complete circle, at other times a half circle and then reverse. My community folder is empty except for V3 and NorthAmerican routes. Winds set at 9.5 mph.

It was my very first programming assignment ( in QuickTran) in 1968 when I took my first programming class in my senior year as a psychology major. One computer class and I dropped my desire to be a clinical psychologist and went to work for NASA as a Fortran programmer. Several years later did a graduate program in clinical psych and again decided I liked working with computers more than humans. 50+ years later I still like my Flight Sim better than humans!

DOBEE51 - you are right on! I put the GAIST ULTRA VERSION 3 in Community - did as you suggested, and I had read in the instructions, and now works perfectly.

I am a long time user of Gaist ship traffic and really do appreciate all the hard work. I have been using the V2 Beta since it came out and have had no problems with it. I would like to ask this question directly of the author on Flightsim.to but comments and questions are disabled. I have installed the Gaist Ultra folder and the NorthAmerica routes folder in my Community folder after removing all prior versions of the Gaist ship traffic addons. Now, with V3 I see NO ships of any kind, no matter how I set the traffic sliders (starting at 5 and going to 100). I have tested in San Diego where I used to see a lot of traffic and just now in Long Beach California, the busiest container harbor in North America. NO ship traffic! I deleted every entry in the Community Folder, other than the two Gaist folders just be sure there are no conflicts. Still no ship traffic. What have I done wrong here?

I have a lot of addons for the City and County of San Diego, which is where I do most of my flying. Since SU 11 I consistently experience a CTD (ALMOST every time) when flying any aircraft around the county. But, using the EXACT same set of AddOns in Los Angles county, or anywhere else, I NEVER experience a CTD. SO - I am convinced one of the AddOns for San Diego is not SU 11 compatible. I have updated as many as I can but still CTD. I am pretty sure none of these crashes are MS or ASOBO caused problems.

I just follow the checklist and it starts as normal (V 1.4)

How do I get the update? OH - never mind - I was just being inpatient but now I can download the newest version.
