It crashes even without the A4 installed. This is from the log file after I recreated the error on a single player mission on Persian Gulf 2025-04-21 14:20:19.691 INFO EDCORE (Main): try to write dump information 2025-04-21 14:20:19.726 INFO EDCORE (Main): # -------------- 20250421-142020 -------------- 2025-04-21 14:20:19.727 INFO EDCORE (Main): DCS/2.9.15.9408 (x86_64; MT; Windows NT 10.0.26100) 2025-04-21 14:20:19.728 INFO EDCORE (Main): C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\CockpitBase.dll 2025-04-21 14:20:19.729 INFO EDCORE (Main): # C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 00007ffd521dd671 00:00000000 2025-04-21 14:20:19.730 INFO EDCORE (Main): SymInit: Symbol-SearchPath: 'C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin;', symOptions: 532, UserName: 'er00i' 2025-04-21 14:20:19.731 INFO EDCORE (Main): OS-Version: 10.0.26100 () 0x300-0x1 2025-04-21 14:20:19.732 INFO EDCORE (Main): 0x000000000030d671 (CockpitBase): cockpit::avR73seeker::search + 0x81 2025-04-21 14:20:19.733 INFO EDCORE (Main): 0x00000000002eca78 (CockpitBase): cockpit::avBasicSensor_SearchTimer::NextEvent + 0x48 2025-04-21 14:20:19.733 INFO EDCORE (Main): 0x000000000000461b (World): wSimTrace::CommandsTraceDiscreteIsOn + 0x3EB 2025-04-21 14:20:19.733 INFO EDCORE (Main): 0x0000000000004c42 (World): wSimCalendar::DoActionsUntil + 0x262 2025-04-21 14:20:19.733 INFO EDCORE (Main): 0x0000000000a4e32a (DCS): SW + 0x4368AA 2025-04-21 14:20:19.733 INFO EDCORE (Main): 0x0000000000a4e001 (DCS): SW + 0x436581 2025-04-21 14:20:19.733 INFO EDCORE (Main): 0x0000000000a74a52 (DCS): SW + 0x45CFD2 2025-04-21 14:20:19.733 INFO EDCORE (Main): 0x0000000000a285d4 (DCS): SW + 0x410B54 2025-04-21 14:20:19.733 INFO EDCORE (Main): 0x0000000000a29c93 (DCS): SW + 0x412213 2025-04-21 14:20:19.733 INFO EDCORE (Main): 0x0000000002588613 (DCS): AmdPowerXpressRequestHighPerformance + 0x109F60F 2025-04-21 14:20:19.733 INFO EDCORE (Main): 0x00000000010ad47e (DCS): SW + 0xA959FE 2025-04-21 14:20:19.733 INFO EDCORE (Main): 0x000000000002e8d7 (KERNEL32): BaseThreadInitThunk + 0x17 2025-04-21 14:20:19.880 INFO EDCORE (Main): Minidump created.

I stumbled upon this sight while in a multiplayer server. I don't know how repeatable it is, but figured that it might as well be reported. I'm also including a couple of short video clips of an AI helicopter flying around the sinkhole to show this wasn't simply a visual glitch. recovery.mp4 Syria.mp4

Zoom only works if you know something is there already. Zooming in and out and seeing an object appear and disappear is not even remotely realistic. At a certain point, you need to accept that you will not get 1:1 parity to real life with a computer game and accept that abstractions are necessary to make the software usable. Foolishly trying to make everything dotless and at a 1:1 scale just means that an object that would be clearly visible in reality is going to be invisible on your screen. No amount of wishful thinking or complaining that dots don't exist in real life is going to change this.

No monitor in the world, flat screen or VR, has anywhere near enough pixel density to mimic what can be seen by eye. The options are a dot, scaling distant objects to compensate for resolution limitations, or not being able to see anything.

This is an excuse more fitting for a college freshman upset that they got a C on their exam. Ultimately, as a customer, I don't care that you worked really hard. I worked hard for my paycheck too. Its currently really difficult to justify buying a DCS module over a polished game for the same price. I want DCS to be good, but I think you don't do your employer any service by doubling down on how we're the ones who are wrong for wanting AAA quality from a AAA MSRP.

Maybe if ED didn't charge AAA prices for modules players wouldn't have AAA expectations. When the full price of an aircraft is $60-80, even if it's 5+ years old, I should expect it to be as polished as any other game in that price range. This also applies to the cost of a map DLC, where I could spend the same amount of money on a complete game.

I can slot into the hind in multiplayer without incident, and can change slots to other aircraft, but once I try to change back to a hind slot my game crashes. I used the repair utility prior to collecting this log with the slow option selected. dcs.log

I don't know about any testers, but I stumbled upon it today, so ED can have another track file to ignore. mach2f5.trk
