• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

For several months now, my FSDS 3.5.1 suddenly shuts down. Just locks up computer. Right at 1 1/2 - 2 minutes pass before screen clears up. Trouble is: Upper Right screen may or may not have view. Sometimes you see it > sometimes you
don't . And you get error message sometimes. During course of day; this happens from 4-?? times a day. Really get's irritating after a while. Anyone else having such a issue like this? Should I reinstall DirectX?? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I'm using Windows 10 64 bit version 21H1, with a 3080 card and have no problems at all with FSDS 3.5.1. Would be worth checking your video card driver is up-to-date and that you are up-to-date in terms of MS updates.

I have the same issue.
I noticed that in my case it only happens when I have left FSDS open on the screen and the PC goes to sleep.
Minimising FSDS before it goes to sleep, stops it happening.
Don't know if that helps.
