Flight Sim 2020 keeps crashing even with the a beast of a PC and Video card?

So you went to the actual site and downloaded it throygh your web browser? I have NVIDIA too and I downloaded what I thought was all the latest and greatest theoygh the app in the taskbar.

Hi,

I became very frustrated trying run FS2020, it would just stop and close.

Studying the GPU performance I noticed that the GPU would go to zero just before a crash.  Mmmm, a hint.

Went into device manager and checked the driver for the GTX 1070 and all seemed well, but the published date was a bit old and I couldn't download a newer version.  What to do?

Went to the NVIDIA site and checked on drivers.  It was difficult to tell as the version numbers had a different format, but the NVIDIA driver seemed newer, so I downloaded it and installed it.

As a result the game doesn't crash anymore.

Now, to configure my flight controller.

Add another one to your list!  I have a similar spec PC but with an RX2070 graphics card,  All settings in FS2020 are at medium level yet it crashes and reboots almost every time when accessing a flight. Mine is the Premium deluxe and this simply isn't good enough especially for the price of this game. If you cannot sort this with a patch very soon then I will seek a refund.

I too have a similar beast of a PC with pretty much the best parts I could buy as of last month. Not overclocking, no overlay running, just the sim. Crash to desktop happens almost everytime I Fly. Sometimes during flight and sometimes when moving between menus. I first noticed this when I was doing the tutorials and I would select "Next lesson" and CTD would happen 100% of the time so I started returing to the main menu instead. This worked for the Lessons part of the sim. Pretty dissapointed with the amount of crashes at this point. I hope there's an update soon.

Are you by chance using any CH product? I wanted to try my Thrustmaster HOTAS I just got for Xbox One and PC. I had the expectation that it was going to crash to desktop within 10 minutes but I did want to see how it felt at least. I just flew around 1.5 hours at least around tree top level mostly around MCO and Disney and never had a problem. Usually it crashes before I even get to International Drive. I had been using a Honeycomb yoke, CH Pedals and the CH throttle. With only just the thrust master, I actually turned the sim off on my terms for the first time since downloading it. It's just a thought. Not sure if I will continue to have it work smoothly or not.
