[SOLVED] SU12 wasm debug makes to crash both VS2022 and the sim

Hello
can't use VS 2022 debugger anymore with SU12, on previous SU it was ok.
- both dll and wasm module are in DEBUG mode as reported by WASM debug window

- option "fast wasm compilation" is checked

- option "load modules asyncr" is checked
- when i connect to simulator exe file debug crashes with:

KittyHawkx64_PCSUB.pdb not loaded

never happened before and can't understand the issue, obviously mentioned .pdb was not generated by VS.

Hi

This could be related to the debugging change in SU12, see:
SU12 Flighting information & release notes - MSFS DevSupport (flightsimulator.com)

Did you start the sim with "-AllowDebugger"?

I think you are using the Store/Game Pass version. Create a link on your desktop with the following content:

cmd.exe /C start shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App -AllowDebugger

@Boris_ I was struggling to understand how to add the "AllowDebugger" flag. Perhaps adding this to the documentation will help other devs to avoid getting stuck like I was?


  1. cmd.exe /C start shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App -AllowDebugger


Best,
