App crash during long haul flights

[Jonas_Sundt-Bjordal]

I have tried a couple of long haul flights during the past months, but I have experienced a lot of app crashes on final. I tried again some days ago, but it still happened :/

iPad Air 2
Medium graphic settings on approach
Anti-Aliasing off
Low graphic settings during the flight

Usually my iPad Air 2 can handle maximum graphic settings with anti-aliasing on during short- and medium-range flights.

App keep crashing after 19.4 update

After a lot of investigation we are finally confident about the source of this issue. The root cause is in a 3rd party framework we use to perform requests to our servers (to download imagery and elevation tiles for example). We have reported the issue to the 3rd party but it might still take a while to get a fix. In the meantime, we are attempting to find a workaround but it is a fairly delicate piece of code that is hard to change without potential side effects (adding more bugs). We will re…

Please give this topic a read. It explains some of the current issues with iOS devices, this is quoted from Seb as the current known “workaround” or way of reducing crashes:

Now more than ever, the steps quoted should be followed when attempting a longer flight as it will greatly reduce the risks of experiencing a crash.

General iOS tips:
One great thing to do before launching Infinite Flight, is to perform a soft restart of the device. This is a quick and reliable way of making sure your device is operating at peak efficiency. This is done by holding down the power/lock button until you see “Slide to power off”. Then hold down the home button until you’re returned to the home screen. For iOS devices without a Home button, a restart is recommended as the soft restart feature does not exist on those.
Make sure you don’t have “Low power mode” on your iPhone. If you have, the battery icon in the top right corner is yellow. This can be deactivated from Settings → Battery, or from “Control Center” depending on how you have it set up. Having “Low power mode” enabled while using Infinite Flight could result in a performance degradation.

Note : This is not the same as “Low power mode” in Infinite Flight. This is a device function.
If you are experiencing these crashes, make sure you reduce the following settings:

Texture Resolution: Low
Anti Aliasing: Off
Live Aircraft Count: Low to None, None especially on Final.
Rendering resolution: Low

Tried and true method. For me at least.

I always do it before opening the sim

Hei Jonas! Have you tried this workaround:

App keep crashing after 19.4 update

A workaround that could work in the meantime is to keep the camera pointing up while you’re flying so the terrain doesn’t refresh. Cameras for that can be the tail cam pointing at the sky or freecam left where it is when activated since it won’t move) Terrain code refreshes tiles when they are in view, is there are no new tiles to view, the code that causes the leak doesn’t run. So you can take off, then in cruise, change to one of the cams above, and only switch back to the other cams when n…
