I do thank and commend Umberto and the team for making these CTD investigations a priority, and hopefully soon we can definitively say wether it is GSX or not and those of us that can't complete a flight with GSX involved can soon fly with it installed.
I must say I was initially very worried, because we are doing so many new things and so much stuff is happening on screen, that I assumed it might have been possibly a GSX problem, although I was more inclined to think it might be caused by GSX indirectly, the real bug might have been some Simconnect function not many developers use that still need fixing.
However, after reading all those comments on the Microsoft Flight Simulator forum, there's just TOO MANY cases of users with constant CTD, sometimes only after 20-30 minutes, and NONE OF THEM HAS GSX. Some of them have it, of course, so I can fully understand why it might be easy to point fingers to GSX, because it just came out when these CTDs started but, there's just too many reports about users starting to have CTDs with NO ADDONS, or other addons, I suggest reading that thread, because it's quite interesting.
What is possibly happening, is that Microsoft is preparing the servers for the final SU10 release, so they are possibly updating files, those servers might be under stress and I'm also sure they use a big network ( Azure ) of nodes, so it takes a while for all nodes to be updated (
this sounds familiar), and this might be a cause of the unusual increase of CTDs, which happened to be almost coincident with GSX's release.
We surely continue to keep an eye on this, and of course we are fully aware we have LOTS of fixes to do in the next days/weeks, but I think I'm quite positive the worse of all, CTDs, is not what I feared might be.
