[MSFS] How to Stop Flight Simulator from Crashing

hello my friends uh I want to share with you my experience with Microsoft flight simulator crashes the desktop it may happen that after a relatively long period of perfect running crashes may start to occur all of a sudden with no apparent reason even if you didn't do anything to your msfs installation apart from maybe install in and using some new add-ons um and this happened to me as well I personally have found that upon following these basic three rules that I'm going to tell you right now the ctds that stop occurring pretty much consistently I'm going to write down those simple rules in a text file just to make things clearer so straight to the Target first R set Windows hags which stands for Hardware accelerated GPU shadling to off quickly we go to the windows options gaming game mode graphic settings and here it is the Hardware accelerated GPU shelling it says that it may reduce latency and improve performance it may be true but when I had this option enabled I had many many many crashes and specifically with Microsoft flight simulator so I decided to set this baby to the off position and I didn't find any particular loss in performances but crashed desktop have stopped occurring so this is the first basic rule you can try second rule is to frequently clean the Nvidia uh direct X cachet and maybe there's a cache also for the AMD a graphic cards but this can be simply done uh by going to your uh users uh users folder in the in the local disk uh your username uh application data go to local low Nvidia per driver version DX cachet and here just select everything delete them um some files may be in use so you can uh you can press cancel and the the files that can be deleted will be removed uh with a huge benefit on stuttering and also in possible crashes to desktop this is the second real to follow and very briefly let's come to the last one last rule is to use install and use a few scenery add-ons at a time a single add-on may not have an effect uh on crushes to desktop if you consider the single addon maybe it is perfect maybe it it has got no problems it gives no troubles at all to your msfs installation but the Contemporary presence of multiple sceneries can have unexpected outcomes sceneries may work if uh taken one at a time but their coexistence May create problems so the trick is to use possibly to use a few scenery addoms at a time how do I do it h simply using these free add-ons you can go to flight sim.to uh site and download the msfs add-ons Linker it is a simple app which allows you to um very quickly select only the addons you are going to use uh in your next session of flight simulator and very simply put uh this is the add-on Linker uh with this application you can keep your community folder empty or just with a few very basic or very or the add-ons that you need to keep constantly in the folder while you can keep all the other add-ons in other folders or position of your PC and then this application will gather when will create a symbolic link to your main Community folder and those links can be uh turned on and off just with a click of the mouse so you can activate and deactivate each addons just with a click of the mouse it is very straightforward very simple and it will allow you to use only your for example departure airports and destination airports and maybe some few other add-ons and this will keep your um loaded data very uh light very low and this will prevent possible crashes to desktop which are more frequent when the memory is filled with data so this is very helpful in maintaining um your system loading very low or at least to maintain data as much low as possible so if you recently ran into troubles uh with the crushes to desktop in Microsoft flight simulator just try those basic and simple RS and maybe give me a feedback about your experience and if you um succeeded and fixing those ctds um because I know they are very annoying when maybe you are on a 3 hours flight you're maybe close to destination and then all of a sudden you get a crush the desktop it's very very frustrating okay my friends thank you for following as usual I hope this video can be useful to you and see you to the next one bye-bye
