Second lesson was fine. But first one had a real problem loading and once it did it was almost unplayable. MSFS 2024 Crashed after a while and thats a first. My game displayed this message after crashing. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/navigraph1/original/3X/f/9/f98812b56ae63a1a8f71aa42539700c45d87796a.png) ---

There seems to be an ongoing issue with this on the MSFS forums. It might be worth a look > **[DXGI\_ERROR\_DEVICE\_Reset (0x887a0007)](https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/dxgi-error-device-reset-0x887a0007/732212/22)** > > Hello, I have recently swapped my graphics card from 3090 to 5080.

I have similar issue like this but the game only crashes after completing the lesson and the score is being processed Navigraph Academy website. I found a workaround for this by using 2 separate devices for the flight simulator and Navigraph Academy. My setup is to use a separate Android/iOS tablet (or phone) to access the Navigraph Academy website while using the main PC only for flight simulator. Important : Make sure Navigraph Simlink is running on PC ---

Hello, Is there any warning message or crash report after the CTD (crash to desktop)? ---

The simulator runs fine, including the lesson but when I go to Navigraph Academy website and wait for the analysis to be completed ![view](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/navigraph1/original/3X/2/a/2a87b0503b092b417cae029ed3d5dbaa9290f21e.png) and click on view analysis, then the flight simulator crashes with a full white, the full black screen with following error message ![simulator crash with gpu problem msg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/navigraph1/original/3X/a/6/a629712701b7e8e62e9fa69b62437c1e625173f5.png) But if I use a separate tablet or device to run the Navigraph Academy lessons and viewing the flight analysis on the tablet, this problem doesn’t happen. I am using MSFS2020 with the latest updates and a mini PC with AMD Ryzen 9 APU + 32 GB RAM ![system info](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/navigraph1/original/3X/9/6/96aca62ec162ef95e79cd6d48ef276ee9d4618db.png) So, it’s probably my GPU can’t handle the “My Flights” analysis rendered with Mapbox simultaneously with the MSFS running. ![mapbox](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/navigraph1/original/3X/9/8/989d0ae2f744356e1600308070b18714ac0439e2.png) ---

Hello, So that error relates to the graphics card crashing. As a first step to troubleshoot, either make sure you are using the latest GPU drivers or if you are already using the latest, roll back to the last know stable driver. I would recommend completely uninstalling the drivers, then reinstalling them from scratch. ---
