UPDATE September 30, 2020: AMD has released driver version 20.9.2 which fixes the crash with X-Plane and Vulkan. See the AMD release notes and download the driver here.
Enabling Vulkan rendering in X-Plane 11.50 with AMD driver version 20.8.3 can cause crashes. As of Sept. 1, 2020, we recommend using the previous driver (version 20.8.2) until a newer fix is released by AMD.
