CTD or Severe FPS Drop when Selecting DUMA9Z STAR at ZBAA with AIRAC 2504 in MSFS 2024

Hi Navigraph team,

I’m encountering a critical issue after updating to AIRAC cycle 2504 in MSFS 2024. When I try to select the DUMA9Z STAR at ZBAA (Beijing Capital Airport), the simulator either crashes to desktop (CTD) immediately or experiences an extreme frame rate drop (down to 1 FPS or less).

This happens regardless of which runway I select for arrival, and it only started after updating to AIRAC 2504. I have tested this with multiple aircraft (INIBUILDS A350, INIBUILDS A330, etc.), and the result is the same every time.

Could you please investigate this issue? Let me know if you need any additional logs or data.

Thanks in advance for your support!

Hi,
Thanks for your report, and I apologize for the delay in this answer. I will check it and try to reproduce it in the next couple of days.

Logs are good when we get one from ASOBO/MS, but there are no logs. Therefore, we must go ahead with “try and error.” I know it is very efficient at this time :sob:

One additional question:
Are you on SU1 or SU2 beta, and do you use a 3rd party scenery or the stock scenery?

Thank you and sorry again
Richard

I am using WFSS’s ZBAA scenery.
I encountered the issue while preparing for a flight after spawning at PACSIM’s RKSI.
There was no problem when departing from RKSI to another airport or arriving at RKSI from another airport.
However, I experienced the same issue again — the frame rate dropping to 1 FPS — when preparing a flight from another airport to ZBAA and entering the STAR.

I am currently using SU1 and not participating in the SU2 beta.
Thank you for your response!
