I also had a lot of issues. Fixed them all by going to options, general, data, and adjusted the rolling cache. By me it was set to 8. I set it to 32. After this change I deleted it and recreated it. Takes some time. After this change all my problems where gone. No crashes anymore. Maybe this also helps for one of you.
Flight Sim 2020 keeps crashing even with the a beast of a PC and Video card?
I have a i9 5.Ghz with 32Gb Ram, Windows 10 Pro, Nvidia RTX2080Ti and even when I put the graphics on low as recommended with Nvidia Experience the game crashes with error Critical Process Died!
I have benched my video card and all Games run perfect and high settings and never crash.
Understanding that this game has to render many objects in any given scene which is understandable however when I cannot run even at a low settings is not exceptable please get me touch of support to get a refund of this game please. I purchased the most expensive opition.

2020-09-19T16:25:25+00:00 I see where ZenDesk posted a fix to game crashing to desktop (turn off "Delegate ATC to Copilot"), which has worked for me so far. I just wanted to post that my i-9900K, 32GB, NVidia GTX 1080ti was groaning and making unusual noise while playing Flight Sim 2020 since the recent Update. The groaning/processing noises have stopped since I did the following, which was posted online:
- Uninstall the game- Press the Windows Key
- Type in wsreset
- Right-click and select run as administrator
- Once complete perform a system reboot
- Reinstall the game (Please install the game to your C drive)
- Type in Apps and Features
- Find Microsoft Flight Simulator on the list
- Select Advanced Options
- Select Reset
The game had to reinstall all 110GB, which took hours, but it was worth it as my pc is running quiet and I assume cooler with the fresh install of the game.

2020-09-20T12:25:37+00:00 I had the same issue when landing to medium/big airports. In my case, problem was coming from Windows paging file which was set to a fixed size (2GB) on one of my SSD drive. I switched it back to "system managed" mode (pagefile is now more than 4GB) and I don't have crashes anymore.

2020-09-21T06:11:54+00:00 I build Enthusiast PC's for a living, but the only game I play is MS FS, having bought legit copies for several decades I must say I'm extremely dissapointed in the after-care of being a huge Microsoft customer for so long. I can verify these issues I am having the same on a binned 9700kf 32gb of binned G-Skill 4266mhz XMP ram, a 400$ board, and 2 top binned EVGA 1080ti FTW 3 all in a custom overkill loop and even secure erased my samsung 256gb NVME drive just for this game. I have tried downclocking to 3.6ghz with no Turbo, no XMP so 2133mhz on 300$ of ram run GPUS stock, same problem. I paid for premium deluxe version which for 120$USD I got what extra?? I watched it chomp through 20gb of RAM like a sandwich bc it recommended I use ultra settings on install and i went down to high same problem, just now looks like ....t. I also used PayPal so i have been hoping to get another update to fix this but im pretty aggro. I know all about systems, even hand picked this one to use for the game and i will not increase my page file thats absurd with nothing else running really and 32gb of ram over 150gb of NVME space, normally i solve problems but now i am at a standstill. It plays. sometimes, yet not one helicopter and all keyboard, joystick functions or commands are different.. If they fix the crashing issue in the next two weeks ill consider keeping it, otherwise i will ask PayPal to step in and get a refund. Ridiculousness at its finest for paid software. Im not going to slam MS with bad reviews everywhere but i am dissappointed and ill pass on talking to MS tech support or anybody from MS to get a refund, id rather play in traffic then to squeeze a penny from them or attempt to.. Dissapointing understatement, I dont need the extra stupid airports ill never use or fly planes that should already be there for double the money... b...s...
