There is a program: Airport Design Editor https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/forums/msfs-airport-design-general.156/ which can design an airport and place ANY object available in libraries anywhere in an existence airport or in one you've created. ADE dates back since FS9 and the MSFS 2020 version is as effective and as complicated as the original one, it has quite a lot of followers, me being one of them and still using it.

..as far as I know, this forum is IT!!! (usually if a question is not answered its because it has been answered before)

since FSX I cannot live without FSTramp http://fstramp.com/ and Little NavMap https://albar965.github.io/littlenavmap.html I definitely think they do make a difference in flying MSFS:

As soon as the error message appeared reseating the GPUs was the very first thing I did including re-securing the RAM memory and at that time it made no difference, also the GPU fans had very insignificant dust, but the GPU thermal paste was completely dried out.

Solved! As I suspected and as suggested by many of you, the problem seems to be my old GPU. I have 2 GPUs but to isolate the problem I removed one of them and everything worked perfect albeit using 1 monitor. I increased all settings in MSFS to the max (within1920x1080) The temperature was low and and the functions were fast even multi-tasking. I replaced my old card and the error message came back! I took my old card completely apart, profusely cleaned it specially the fan, removed & replaced the thermal paste in the GPU processor, cleaned the contacts and replaced it. Everything works perfect! My 3 monitors are back, I went beyond the max settings on MSFS ran it while multitasking with Photo Shop, Premiere Pro and Maya and had NO problems. Thanks to everyone for their help and suggestions which I implemented one by one, maybe those were part of the overall solution....

I'm using SpeedFan to monitor temp and fans and so far all indicates consistent temps within range of operation. More than a year ago I had overheating issues and that's when I changed to manual control of all my six fans including the CPU via external 12v solenoid control, ever since that addition I had no temp issues. But so far I definitely think it has something to do with the GPU because this happened as soon as I installed the latest Nvidia driver.

Same thing. One thing though, Since this started happening about 6 days ago I had 3 instances that with no reason at all I have been able to run MSFS with no problems. Last time it ran I was able to bring all the MSFS settings to the bare essentials but once I shut down it will NOT run again and it gave me the same error message. I am almost sure that it is a GPU problem. ????

Yes. Once I get the error display and retry again it asks me to select Safe Mode.

I used "Geforce Experience" to update the drivers one more time and then changed all the settings to the lowest available (by using Geforce Experience), but sadly that did not helped any..

This is great, thanks for the info. Removing addons will be the only thing that I can do since I can't get to MSFS settings, I can monitor the ram usage and see if this helps anything.

My device manager shows under "Display adapters" my Nvidia GPU and nothing else. I've never used the integrated GPU since I got my computer..

1. I removed the new Nvidia update and re-installed the old one, Nothing. 2. I did a removed and clean install of Nvidia update and nothing. 3. I removed MSFS and re-installed it. Nothing. 4. Finally I did the dread it "remove and re-install windows 10" and re-installed ALL my software, and still, I get the same error....

This is exactly where I think the problem comes from. I don't know but maybe Nvidia is trying to force me to upgrade my card? (no money)

done that! Does not work. I think its a Nvidia curse!!

For the las two year: Nvidia 1650 with the lowest settings possible and no problem until now, but now that you ask me I wonder if this GPU has something to do with the latest MSFS update requiring more of the GPU power?

Yes it does, it has never been active. As a last resource I've just re-installed windows 10 and MSFS and everything is the same. My last hope (I think) will be to install MSFS in the C:/ drive...

Tried your two very good suggestions but NO DICE. I even removed and installed MSFS and all the same....I know MSFS is completely different than any other simulation/game but everything else i my computer works with no glitch. I also think it has something to do with NVidia, it all started when I got a note from MSFS to upgrade my Nvidia GPU, after I did it all started and if I take off the upgrade it tells me to upgrade again...

I've used MSFS for the last 2 years with no major problems, I just re-installed MSFS (store) in a new SSD and now I'm getting this error: "Your graphics device has encountered a problem and the application will exit. This maybe due to graphics card overclocking, overheating or due to a driver fault" I've updated my graphic card Nvidia drivers but I'm still getting the same error: " Any ideas?

I've had a similar problem, in my case it happens about every now an then. My sure fire solution is to re-calibrate my Joystick!! in my case is a Logitech Xtreme Pro. I have no idea why it happens but its not because of updates.

False alarm! downloaded DX9 but could not install it , windows says a newer version is installed. I ran the plane using DX11 and it worked perfectly. I ran it using DX12 and it also worked perfect. The warning appears in "My Hangar" under the plane specs window. So thanks, everything works!!

mykrodia-mykrode-mxa Thanks for your help guys!

I have a plane installed that asks me to install DirectX 9 before flying the plane. It sends me to The Microsoft web side to download DX9. Is it safe to have DX9 installed alongside MSFS?

Same thing here. I haven't noticed anything else...

Here you'll find the B-25 (very good and fully animated) and the B-52 (not so great and the landing gears will not retract) and several excellent (all freeware) bombers and fighters: https://flightsim-squadron.itch.io/flightsim-aircraft
