MFS Crashes EVERY flight without fail.

Ryan govier · Jul 15, 2022

Hey all, so recently I’ve been flying in MFS, doing 1ish hour flights in the A320N or B474 from San Fran to KLAX. Everything runs smooth in San Fran, even when it’s busy and many aircraft are moving. I’ll fly no issues but as soon as I get with the traffic patterns of my arrival airport, KLAX or something like CYYZ (Toronto) I get massive lag, frame drop and the game either completely kicks me back to the Xbox Home Screen before landing or it lets me land while having massive lag, and then as soon as I exit the runway, and “contact ground” I get booted back to the Home Screen. Wondering if it’s something I do in game or what? I’ve deleted and re-installed the game, restated the console, check for updates, nothing seems to fix the crashing upon landing. I posted a similar question about this last week but forgot to hit “notify me when answered” lol. Only thing I can think of is that I’m using an Air Canada livery or British Airways for the 747, but even when I use the base ones, it’s still terribly laggy and crashes. I am playing on the XBOX game pass version, but MFS is the only reason I subscribe to it, I don’t play anything else, so if MFS just “can’t run smooth” on the Xbox series X because the graphics are too much to handle, or so on, I don’t get why they make the game Series X exclusive when it doesn’t work right. If MFS won’t run I’d kinda like some money back since it’s been 3-4 months of me fighting the game to have fun and finish an actual flight.

Hope you're doing great today despite this buddy

So, is this happening on your Xbox series X?

May i know which troubleshooting steps you have done so far to fix this issue?
In that way I can advise you different things or advise you how to proceed

I'll be waiting for your reply, greetings from another Microsoft user

MFS on Xbox I think it will not be a good game, it is still a flight simulator and it is best played with a flight lever and other equipment that is only on the PC.

Any word on an xbox compatible flight stick?

Such details havent been released yet, but the MFS Team is working with partners to be sure they will be ready to rock when the the first Beta version of MFS 2020 is available.

Judging by the article, it sounds like they are planning support for flight sticks. I'm assuming by using the Xbox Adaptive controller; although, that would get quite expensive.

"Developers tell me that accessibility is also an important factor. For that reason,
Flight Simulator will be playable with a regular Xbox controller and the

Xbox Adaptive Controller.

Microsoft is also adding hooks for the hardcore community. That includes the ability to create mods, like air traffic control and additional aircraft. But it also means making the game compatible with as many different peripherals as possible.

To that end, the team at Asobo Studio went and purchased every single flight stick and pedal set it could find on Amazon, and then gave a different solution to every developer."

Yes, I am on pc. Previous to my most recent try, I moved the whole "C:\Users\your_username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator" folder to my desktop. Then when I started installing MFS, it created a new folder in that place.
