Microsoft Flight Simulator is a terrific flying game. Many users report Microsoft Flight Simulator crashing to the desktop with regularity while playing the game: I have owned MSFS since Nov 2020 (physical disk) and it always worked perfectly fine. How come Microsoft Flight Simulator keeps Crashing When I Play it?
