    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Today when I load a plane, at the very finish "fly", got a CTD. With no community folder, the same. Clean cache, restart. Sometimes freezes when loading ctrl+alt+del to stop process and get to desktop, desktop icons will not function, got to go to "start" to be able to shutdown computer and start again. Some time starts good, initiate a flight, when trying to change to another airport and plane CTD. Run a virus scan with Kaspersky total security, no viruses.
This is really strange. Last night got a Windows 11 update, everything else fine, think that´s not the reason.
Think I´ll better reinstall, know I can do it with remove programs, wonder what other files will have to remove. Will check tomorrow.
Any help will me much appreciated.
Thanks
 
I was having a similar issue and it was after I had downloaded the newest Nvidia drivers for my 2070, put the old ones back and didn't have the issue anymore.
 
Unfortunately the new nVidia driver is bad for a lot of people (though not all... some find it to be fantastic!). CTD is one of the issues, with reduced FPS and blue patches appearing on the ground being others. You can suffer none, one, two or all such issues. I myself got the blue patches but no CTD and no noticeable FPS impact. Go figure! The solution was to roll back the driver (and complain to nvidia, 'cos although they acknowledge there are problems adding your name to the list tells them how widespread they are and they can act accordingly).

Yeah, I had the blue patches too and the frame rates were like I had Direct X 12 on, it was horrible.
 
Thanks Gents. So simple when you know...you made my week-end much more easy. Using 472.12 now and running. Had no idea and failed to figure that this was a drivers problem. Again, thank you all.
 
Timely thread. I just purchased a RTX 3080 and was thinking of upgrading to the newest driver. Well after reading this, if it ain't broke, I won't touch it. And, it ain't broke. :)

Yes John, it was the latest driver that messed up my MSFS, and if not well advised by our friends would reinstall and get exactly the same problem...not funny at all.
