GSX freezing the sim or?

[Julean]

The sim is freezing in mid air at the same altitude  .. and I have to CTD.

It freezes at the same altitude.. 26.640 ft!!! Thats a new one in 24 years of flightsim.  The last flights PMDG 737 and Fenix A320 freezes at the same altitude. Haven't come to other aircrafts types yet. But its probably not GSX anyway because it starts with:

And then GSX comes with a crash event.

Thank you

Question. You said it freezes at the same altitude, but are you flying the exact same route or different routes.

[Julean]

The first was KTPA to MUVR and the other MDPC to MUVR. 

Others having similar proproblems

[Captain Kevin]

I mean, if other people are having the same problem, I don't think GSX would have anything to do with it. That said, were you climbing or descending when this happened.

[kingnorris]

I had the same problem and finally solved it by changing the AI aircraft from online to offline in MSFS settings.

Has zero to do with GSX, by the way. I had constant freeze ups with sound still playing and the only way to exit was ctrl/alt/delete and shut down using task manager.

I have a similar freezing problem with MSFS2020. I load PMDG 737 any model in any payware airport like LatinVFR KBWI and after that I decide to change the plane loading the Fenix A320 is going just fine. Later, intended to close the sim and it freezes. Probably GSX needed to reload it again and the sim can't close shutting down as expected but freeze. I have to kill the sim via Task Manager.
Let's see what happen with the next MSFS2020 SU update.

But its probably not GSX anyway because it starts with:

It's never GSX, the Event Viewer gave you proof of that, by looking at the Timestamps of the events, the first crash of the sim happened here:

Dato:          01-05-2024 23:16:04

GSX crash happened more than a minute later:

And then GSX comes with a crash event.

Lognavn:       Application
Kilde:         Application Error
Dato:          01-05-2024 23:17:47

So yes, as usual, it's confirmed the sim crashed and MADE GSX crash as well.
