So, I have been massively disappointed about crashes since SU5 and HF 1 and 2. HF 2 made no difference what so ever regarding my CTDs, in fact it felt almost worse. Three out of three attempts at flying ended in a CTD (after HF2) and I was seriously contemplating a LONG hiatus from this hobby. I rarely use dev-mode but figured I'd try it out (I was clutching at straws as I'd read somewhere that this one individual got no CTDs after running said mode). One thing stood out to me when I run the dev mode and that was a notification in the upper right corner about the existence of newer versions of the SDK. I figured I'd nothing to loose so I installed the latest version of the SDK. After which I tried the route that had CTD:d on me three times in a row: LEPA to LEBB in the DC-6 (about 750:ish NM). No crash. Could hardly believe it. So I did four more flights in the WT CJ4 of which no crash occurred. The sixth CTD:d on me though, but the previous five was without restarting the computer so I restarted and tried the sixth again. No issues. I think I understand, or at least have some kind of theory, what caused this. I used to crash despite empty Community folders. However, every single flight I do in MSFS (or at least 99%) I am at the same time running OnAir. Could it be that this particular program tries to access some function or other that simply has been altered as the SDK has been updated, triggering this? When I get clr.dll and ntdll.dll crashes it is always due to memory access violations. I was sceptical at first but still, I went from almost 100% CTDs to significantly less. It simply can't be coincidental. As I side note, I was kind of expecting that the SDK gets updated as well when the rest of the sim is updated but this seems to not be the case. So, for you still having CTDs and an older SDK; update it.

My wallet is safe. No use buying aircraft for a sim that crashes 9 out of 10 flights. 😂

Yeah. I've just about had it now, think I'm about to throw in the towel.

First flight ended in CTD (clr.dll) after about 45 minutes. Why am I not surprised?

Wish me luck. I am going to try to complete a flight now (first after updating). It seems most of you guys are happy with the update?

Not gonna lie; I would love to be an endodontist in Norway. Freaking beautiful country. EDIT: And I would probably earn enough to be a pilot there in those gorgeous fjords...

Couldn't care less about that. I want the constant CTDs to be fixed, then I can worry about roofs on jetways.

Thought the first looked kind of blurry?

To all the people suggesting Civ 6... have you not tried Civ 5? I kind of like that one better. Less cartoony graphics.

See my edit...

Well, actually.. I was kind of browsing through the clip on Youtube and, yes, I believe I could have done that better myself.... EDIT: However. I am a really nice endodontist and would never do such a thing [said with the voice of Apu Nahasapeemapetilon]

Now you have to enlighten me! Haven't seen that one (but I am a dentist).

10 points to this lovely gentleman!

Wait. what?

So...... "is it secret... is it safe...?" (10 points to the one nailing the reference)

Freddy Kreuger is sharpening his claws.

Oh. Join the club. Crashes is something that happens to a small percentage of the users. Consider yourself chosen. I am one of you. I have never crashed in the menu, though. Always while flying. Especially hilarious is to crash 5nm from the runway after a 1500NM flight. Funniest thing ever. EDIT: In the DC-6 that is.

Missed that entirely.

Ah! I see. That is definitely understandable!

Wait, what? Nothing was said in the other thread? Flies in the armpit or Freddy Kreuger? Are you seriously locking a thread because of friendly banter?

Hmmm.. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt on this one. I will recall Freddy. For now.

Well.. when I chose another path than the default I chose just MSFS at the root of another drive. Community then just was in the "level below".

Naaah.. Knitting is surely lots of fun (Wifey is a seamstress by trade and watching her work is a thing of joy) but I have no such skills.

You serious? If you are kidding I hope Freddy Kreuger haunts your dreams!
