MSFS always crashing

[Toby Dalton]

Hi all,

I'm getting very frustrated at Microsoft flight simulator as it keeps crashing. Five times it's crashed today. FIVE! I'll be cruising in my Typhoon, and then suddenly it crashes. I play on Xbox, and don't know whether it is my problem or a worldwide problem.

Does this happen to anyone else?????

Hi.

Although I don't seem as your perfect partner who is able to answer all your MSFS questions, let me see what I can do for you. 'Not quite perfect' because I'd
always and under all circumstances
recommend a computer
for flight simulation.

With a computer here on my side and a computer on your side now we would go through quite some hardware specific questions,
and,
as MSFS never was published for Mac o/s (which I very much regret),
we'd share at least the o/s, because for MSFS until today only Win10 is recommended*.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Flight_Simulator_(2020)#Systemvoraussetzungen

*and Win11 does not work together with MSFS?

So. I've never owned an Xbox, apparently somehow you're able to communicate with us via a keyboard on your xbox (or via smartphone).

I assume that, both for Xbox and for computer, we need to download MSFS before the first take off.
For computer, I'm sure that it is quite a monster download,
150 gigabyte sucked through a narrow telephone line...

And for computer, I'm sure that, once installed correctly, you don't need again the internet
to play Msfs.
Internet is recommended for msfs, but for computer, it is not a duty, only to play, with certain restrictions,
less detail once you took off, et cetera.

So. My first questions would be:

1. Have you ever played Msfs on your Xbox completely flawless?
Or was it a pain right from the beginning?

2. Have you ever played Msfs on your Xbox, when you pulled the plug before, i.e. when your Xbox is completely offline?

Greetings.

PS: Also 'not quite perfect', as I said at the beginning, as I don't fly fighters (dt.: Jagdflugzeuge), not yet.
And you own the Eurofighter Typhoon for msfs on Xbox?
Sorry, but at least two more questions. You seem quite familiar with payware and how to install it on the Xbox.
Isn't it easier to install payware on a computer (with a good full size keyboard)?
And how do you fly the Typhoon, single screen, with the standard Xbox joypad?

In both cases, I'd like to invite you to the world of flight simulation on a computer.
Because then, the system barrier (xbox vs computer)
is no longer between us.

...sorry it's me again. As I said, hardware specific questions.

...a 1 TB PciE Gen4 SSD (802 GB available) together with 16 GB RAM , that so far is the Xbox Series X .
The series S is much smaller (!).

Can you specify, 16 GB RAM (Series X)
or only 10 GB RAM (Series S) .

The series S also comes with a hdd (hard drive disc) which is only a 512 GB Gen4 SSD .

So, I know people who sometimes call me .. at least a classic, or a man who loves classic a/c .

But even I, rather a man with a humble attitude towards system requirements, even I'd strongly recommend 750 GB or 1 TB .

And you're sure that your 1 TB PciE Gen4 SSD (802 GB available) isn't completely full since you downloaded the Typhoon?

That's a serious question. Because that happens to the best...

PS: A full hard drive is not recommended. It operates rather as if you try to take off in Randazzos B744 simulator with exaggerated MTOW. Very slow on the rwy.
And you'll not really reach Vr ..

1) When I first started (2022) it was fine
2) No, I haven't done that.
3) I fly the typhoon on my throttle and stick quadrant

10 GB RAM Series S
I have a 512GB storage expansion card which doubles my capacity
The 1Tb PciE Gen4 SSD is not full

I appreciate your queries!

[bstolle]

And for computer, I'm sure that, once installed correctly, you don't need again the internet
to play Msfs.

Except if you want to apply any of the frequent updates.

Oh, don't you thank me for a simple question. Believe me, together with Randazzo's Team I was able to solve questions that in comparison seem insolvable.
An example, to only go offtopic for let's say, 5 minutes, not more.

Virtual address space (VAS) problems with p3d

Together with my dear Cpt Randazzo and his team, I was able to solve this problem, and since then I am (again) a happy customer of Cpt Randazzo.

Already back on topic.

So believe me. Also for your special problem there is a solution. I can tell you what I did. Before I solved the VAS problem, I downloaded
ALL (!) manuals for Cpt Randazzo B744 products,
that I could find in the internet.

Et voila, for me that was enough. I only had to read all that stuff.

The next step for me had been, if necessary, try to contact the developer.

I don't know how strong the developer of your msfs Typhoon is
in terms of, customer service, does he provide an official support forum?
Or, if not, an unofficial support forum?

PS: Who btw is the developer of this msfs Typhoon. If I'd know that, let me contact him.

[LH-B744]

Except if you want to apply any of the frequent updates.

Hm. Probably you will not like the first answer that just came to my mind.

Is msfs 2020 a simulator that always needs updates before you can again fly it?

As I mentioned before, I do not really know that very much about download- / install-/ update problems for msfs 2020, as I've simply never owned it in my whole life.

But as I also mentioned here in my number 7 topic, I own a simulator where it is completely the other way round. If you once are able to run p3dv4.5 flawlessly,
together with Cpt Randazzo,
IT IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN TO UPDATE THAT SIMULATOR,
e.g. to v5.1 or later.

Because then, you begin again at the beginning, as you've never owned a perfectly running simulator.

PS: If BredoK3d Eurofighter Typhoon for msfs is his product, he should probably have published his wish to buy it, here in this forum section,
before
he had actually bought it.

22 US Dollars for a two engine fighter simulator, for msfs. Well. I'd say the threadstarter rather doesn't know what we pay for rather good simulators!

And I'd say, for 22 US Dollars, support by the developer is rather not included.

Sorry, again it's me. But if that Bredok3d product which I mentioned here in my number 8 entry is really your product, I have at least two more questions.
Ok, you bought it for Xbox, but let's ignore this system barrier, it is also available for msfs 2020 on a (custom-built or standard catalogue) computer.

Why have you bought such a crap? I mean.. pilot reviews for that rather small product:

Very low quality for the price. Feels like a free user mod.

or

Very poor. Graphics are childlike and handling is terrible.

or
...

I can tell you why I would never in my life buy such a product. Not because of the pilot reviews.

But because it lacks system requirements for a custom-built computer. So, the support for you and me is exactly >> zero zero.

Let's compare a provider who publishes system requirements:

https://secure.simmarket.com/carenado-b58-baron-x-plane-11.phtml

So, here the developer (not the shop, which is a difference) says, don't you try to fly that product with less than 16 GB RAM!

And the price, 37 US Dollars, include support by the developer,

and by me.

PS: I'm sorry, but I think that you've bought .. garbage. For 22 US Dollars.

I bought the CJ SIMULATIONS one, not BredoK3d

Is msfs 2020 a simulator that always needs updates before you can again fly it?

Yes. It's aerodynamics, engine simulation, ground handling, etc. are still worse than in FSX/P3D, and most users are hoping that these shortcomings will be corrected with updates. (which didn't really happen within the last 4 years)
