    Anyone else having constant CTDs with MSFS?

    in Microsoft Flight Simulator

    Posted · Edited by wolfko

    Since a couple of days I had 5 or 6 CTDs when using MSFS. I never had such issues before with this sim.

    There are general rumors on the internet of MS/Asobo having server issues which are apparently causing CTDs.

    But since I haven't found any official statement of MS/Asobo and not too many specific reports of currently having CTDs I'd like to reassure that I'm not the only one having these kinda problems.

    Thank you Wolfgang :). Perhaps a job at the airport then? ;)

    BTW, I think you missed my post 'In Austria' (on page 5 here now)?

    It was you who motivated me to make that flight.

     

    Yes, I really had missed that one. I have checked it out now and like it very much.:)

    I would rather they delay if they have issues to sort, make more sense...Bonanza sounds good...

     

    Acidentally I have read in the MSFS forums yesterday that many beta testers have reported issues. I think that's what John meant.

    Yes - but that is not the full log or the mapped fly plan - maybe I ;ll check the Map to see if if shows the route and plan

     

    The vfr map shows the magenta line, but oddly without waypoints.

    What I'd like to have is full access to the default flight planner with interacting oppurtunities, just like you have before starting the flight.

    I am a bit late on the topic but I saw someone wanting you to keep static airlines at ESGG, pleeeaeese dont!! There must be an absolute majority of people who want to see them gone. I have been waiting forever to have a clean airport only with AI when flying offline and other pilots when flying VATSIM. So again please no static aircraft at ESGG.

     

    I highly doubt, that the majority does not like static aircraft. Maybe one can get this Impression, because them who like statics keep quiet as they do not have a reason to complain.

    An opportunity to choose between the options of having static AC or not having static AC would be ideal. If this is not possible please keep the statics.

    I agree, it is never good to anounce a project too early. And if you do, good (marketing) practice would be to constantly release updates on the state of deveopment or just posting screenshots or just posting about the project, even if there is no progress at all in the development.

    Customers like this, they feel cared about.

    The is one well known Orbx developer (you can guess, whom I mean ^_^) who does the above in perfection. His projects sometimes are taking forever, but he is just talking about his projects on a regular basis. Sometimes releasing screenshots which honestly don't show much or even nothing new, but people are happy.

     

    So it would be easy for Orbx to calm people down. For me it is not understandable why nothing happens in this way.

    Thanks Wayne. I have an xbox controller but it seemed to 'mess up' controls on a couple of payware aircraft. So I have removed it for now.

    Thanks Wain.  I have a lot of things to do today both real life and sim but as soon as I am able I'll try this with my wired Xbox 360 controller.  Haven't even plugged it in yet to see if it'll work.

     

     

    You do not have to use an Xbox controller. Moving the drone anywhere ypu like works with any device, e. g. your joystick, yoke, keyboard etc.

    I am using my joystick and/or my yoke for controlling the drone. So there is no swapping of divices (from joystick to Xbox controller vv.) necessary, which I find very convenient when switching to drone mode inflight.

    Hi Wolfgang, (Paul, sorry if I ask similar question) is there a way to eliminate the plane altogether?  I'd like to taxi around on the ground without a plane in view so I can take shots for comics.  Thanks.

     

    Jack, I think literally eliminating a plane is not possible, but you can take screenshots without having the plane in sight. Either move the drone away from the plane (you can move the drone (unlimited?) miles away from the plane, in each direction, up and down or you just face the camera away from the plane.

     

    You could pause the sim (P-key by default) then go to slew mode, slew the plane out of the way (e.g. 10,000 feet up) and then move the drone back to the ground and do your shots. You might have AI planes in the pic though, but you can disable AI traffic.

     

    In summary, the drone is not tied to the plane, it can independendly moved around in any direction.
