Stanley777 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Hi everyone, This has happened to me on numerous occasions. When I hit 'V' to turn on the VFR map, FS2020 often crashes -- it just shuts down, and then I have to restart the program. If this keeps going on, I am thinking of not using the program anymore. Maybe I was better off with FSX. Does anyone please have any ideas? Thank you.

plainsman Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I have not tried it, but supposedly, if you go into VFR map immediately after takeoff, it won't crash. My suggestion, don't use VFR map until this is fixed, which should be soon, since they note it in the release notes of the latest patch.

Stanley777 Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 Hi plainsman and everyone else, I can't wait for this to be fixed. I love using the VFR map. I turn it on and off frequently.

Apollo212 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Hi Have you thought about starting with the vfr map open and then leave it open maybe tuck it in the corner of a screen just a thought :) Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanley Hi Stanley, I've just tried this whilst flying around Belfast and didn't experience any crashes (so far), so I'm just wondering...is it happening in a particular area or aircraft?

chicagorandy Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 I've been using the v map without any crashing issues in a C152X,172, Icon A5, Kitfox and a DA trainer.

johnclift Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 This was beginning to seriously get on my nerves, then yesterday I opened the map within a few seconds of starting the flight, and I flew for 7 hours without a problem and used the map loads of times.

johnclift Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Nah didn't work today. Lasted 12 minutes, but Yes Apollo 212, I just minimised it and didn't close it and so far after 75 minutes it's going ok ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley777 Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hi everyone, I have now adjusted my settings so that the VFR map opens automatically right when the flight begins. Then I keep the VFR map open throughout the flight. When I don't want to see it, I minimize it -- but I don't close it. So far, that has solved the problem. But the code writers should address this instability issue. Soon, I am going to post a thread about another instability issue in FS2020 regarding the automatic heading.

Stanley777 Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hi Tim, Good. My copy of FS2020 just updated today, so I am glad that this will be fixed. Now I need to get the instability issue of using heading on automatic pilot. Would you be so kind as to read my post on this matter. It is under the title "Heading on automatic pilot: Serious instability issue." You are so knowledgeable that I am curious as to what you think. Thank you for your consideration.

tiger1962 Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Hi Stanley, I'll try the keyboard command method tomorrow and see what happens - I normally use my mouse scroll wheel to turn knobs so I haven't encountered this issue yet.
