Thanks... Tonight I flew the Beechcraft Baron G58 for almost 2 hours. No problems. The problem might have been in the Cessna 208B's code. The 208B program crashed several times, as in every time I flew more than an hour. As a side note the Beechcraft is a great plane. I have got the adjustable pitch prop and the navigation stuff figured out. The 208B was just a beast, no manners. Some of it was my fault ... like the instance I put the throttle in reverse at 180knts.!

I have had MSFS 2020 about three weeks and have 43+ hours in Cessna 152s / 172s and most recently 208Bs. I have a month old Acer Predator Triton 500 with a large HP monitor. ( I do high horse power graphics and video editing). The lap top sits off the surface for ventilation. I am flying off line. Now that I have got the 208B's pitch props and navigation system figured out I am making long flights. Every time I have tried to fly the 208B more than 1.25 hours the program crashes back to windows. Sometimes MSFS just freezes but typically the screen goes blank and you just end up back in windows. Is there a solution for this?

Thank you. I have most of my operational questions figured out. ... navigation on the glass instrument panels and how to fly with pitch adjustable prop.... however the program now crashes after 1.5 +/- hours in a flight.

I am new to MS Flight Simulator 2020. I have about 37 hours in Cessna 152s and 172s (Glass instrument Panel). However, I had untold hours in the early 90s on earlier versions. The operation areas were limited but I liked the 4 little Nav maps that actually told you VOR and DME frequencies. I have solved THAT problem by buying paper FAA Sectional Charts. Yes, I know about add on programs. I still have navigation issues however. I will admit that the graphics and (as far as I can tell) flight physics are 5 star, But I am having major problems with the VOR CDI system on Garmin instrument panels. Everything worked great on the 152’s Analog CDIs. (Except that there was no DME.) I have no problem setting the VOR frequency, But the CDI never displays on the glass. I know I have the frequency set right because I have figured out how to get a DME display for NAV1. The CDI does seem to work automatically if you do a flight plan in the program. (I do mine on paper, and I am NOT going to change.) Using the flight planning system to automatically set a VOR freq. seems to work only for departure. You can not plan multiple legs with several VORs. QUESTION: How do I make the glass screen display a CDI of a VOR frequency I have entered. ? Also, side note. I have seen several questions online dealing with the program not displaying a weather map. I have the two expansions and I think the Cessna 208 (?) does display the weather map on the right Garmin panel.
