Question MS Flight simulator freezes for minutes at a time

[bdelvillano]

Randomly when playing MS Flight Simulator 2020, my game will freeze and stop responding. This could happen for 30 seconds to minutes at a time. It happens about every 3-5 minutes. It doesnt matter where in the game I am, sometimes it happens in the menu. GPU usage drops to 0% and cpu drops to around 10%. I have tried turning down settings and resetting NVidia control panel settings. I have a MSI GAMING X 1080 Ti and a 3700x

Game when not responding (No idea why the network is so high in this screenshot. I tried reproducing it again but when my game froze it would always be around 0)
