If you are using a high percentage of VRAM turn off Reallight and Trueglass in the PC6 panel cfg and see if that helps

CTD is usually a result of running out of VRAM, hard to say without seeing your system specs.

From experience anything less than 8GB Vram on V5 and you will CTD due to running out of GPU memory. Even if it ran fine on a 6GB card in V4.

I may be wrong but I'll blame Win 11

You can look in event viewer sometimes you will find a crash log for P3D and it will tell you exactly where the crash came from , other times P3D can just quit and not leave a trace. If it keeps happening we can persue that.

Not sure what to look for in Event Viewer
No obvious P3D heading
Sim seems OK in every other respect

It would refence Prepar3d but as I said sometimes P3D just abruptly closes and then there is nothing in the event viewer.

Another sim mystery!
It is certainly a demanding plane on the sim but I thought that I would have enough with my rig

Other users have suggested to disable Trueglass / Reallight. It's hard to say without a crash log where it's coming from.
