A318 Freezes Sim When Loading

Hello. I recently purchased the A318. When I set up my flight and the simulator begins loading, it's gets almost 50% then freezes. It forces me to use task manager to end Flight Simulator which shows to not be responding. Last night I was finally able to get it to load after 5 attempts. Today I tried 3 times with no luck. I've confirmed that this only happens with the LatinVFR A318.

As far as I can tell, through process of elimination, the Navigraph Hub app was causing the freeze during loading. When installed, it's set to launch during windows startup and runs in the background.

If I try disabling other addons I have such as couatl (GSX), etc., it doesn't fix the problem.

However, if I disable the app and restart my computer, I am able to load in the A318. When I quit back to Windows, launch the Navigraph Hub app, launch MSFS and attempt to load the A318, the sim will freeze with task manager showing it stopped responding.

Anyway, I can now finally start flying again. I hope this is helpful information to the developer and other users.

Just verified today that the Volanta app also causes the A318 to freeze my simulator during loading.

Forcing the simulator to exit with task manager, exiting Volanta, starting the simulator, and loading the A318 with the same SimBrief flightplan as before allows the simulator to load as normal.
