@MSFSofficial Hi guys, I solved the Xbox Series S crash problem by uninstalling one of the folders in the console's game settings. Apparently it solved the problem, then I reinstalled all updates in the game normally. I just wanted to leave this feedback. Hugs and greetings from Brazil!

@MSFSofficial @MSFS_Support It is still a mess playing it on Xbox. CTD allot and GPS routes in flight differ from World Map. All in all this is ridiculous. Just fix this game!! It is no fun anymore!!

Yfw you steal a plane and die in a crash only to have Microsoft Flight Simulator come out a few years later. He could have done this in VR and lived. He did not play the tape to the finish, because the idea was too upsetting. So he faked it until he died.

This is interesting. @MSFSofficial has had a generalized strategy from day 1 to overpopulate trees globally - I don't know if they feel it makes their game world look prettier or if they're trying to mask areas where ortho coverage is weak, but they 100% know it's not accurate.

@MSFS_Support @MSFSofficial We shouldn’t have had so many updates knowing there were issues you all failed to fixed. He black screen bug has been an issue since launch. Now after the latest update the game won’t even load. This is very frustrating to people who have poured hundreds of dollars into this sim

the latest Microsoft Flight Simulator update has been crashing on Xbox on launch. A server-side fix will stop this happening, but if you’re already affected then you’ll need to use Xbox Cloud Gaming until a hotfix is released https://t.co/mJ0CCAisRT https://t.co/cPDdUTRSpY

OK @MSFSofficial #crash
On Series X go to manage game/ saved data/ reserved space and delete the world updates. Reload game go to Data and TURN OFF the rolling cache. Then apply world updates except 9.
