Appreciate the info. I mislead you, sorry...Let me clarify, the game/sim crashed to the steam menu 5 times, normally after a good cold start and just upon power up on the runway. I completely re-booted my system each 5 times to try and insure a clean system. In reference to the crash logs, I know they are in the saved games..., however the only ones I saw after the last crash was from a previous month. I'll try again tomorrow. BTW, thanks for your help!!

Update. Did the exact thing I did yesterday. Today, what worked yesterday did not today resulting in 5 system crashes in a row after 5 full and complete system reboots. However, using the exact same mission, but dropping random other modules (Mig-15, etc.) in place of the Mig29A...everything worked perfectly. Giving up for the time being on the 29 until a fix comes out...sigh...

Admittedly, I am not super computer software savvy. A while back I downloaded those three programs (and also Project Lasso). My understanding was Open Composite regulated the options for OpenXR versus Steam VR. Therefore, I assumed that in order to operate the subsequent programs of Open XR and Open XR tool kit properly, that Open composite had to be activated first in order to insure Steam VR would NOT be run. Please educate me otherwise, as there is a bit of confusion in my mind as to the best way to get the bloody sim to work consistently. BTW, I do find it a bit odd that Steam VR has always been a bugaboo. I do realize that VR was not native core, but after all this time I would hope that these issues would have been ironed out!

Well... I just may have solved the problem. I went back to Open Composite, activated it and disabled Steam VR in the Open Composite option. Activated Open XR and Tool kit programs. Started Pimax Play, and in the Games section disabled in the menus any reference to Steam VR (including aspects regarding the DCS Game Start option) and hit Apply. Then activated DCS from the Pimax Game option (with all the Steam VR stuff off). Held my breath, and to my amazement flew a complete 40 min solo Nav mission out of Maykop from cold start to shut down. Everything worked perfectly!! Therefore, I am assuming the problem is actually with Pimax, (not playing with) Steam VR and something to do with those two that relates to the Mig-29A module. Of course that was only one flight. Will try multiple flights soon and report if all is okay using the above process. Again this whole problem only seems to be a factor with 29A module, all others are fine. As I am fixated on the 29A for the time being, guess this will be the new DCS start norm using the Crystal for me.

here is the crash log file: dcs.20240625-155127.crash

This mod has great potential. Unfortunately it has some constant crash issues with Pimax Play resulting in game crashing to desk top. I have researched and tried numerous ways to comply with the online system crash advice, but nothing seems to work. Trying the old open XR and Pimax play start options initially start off fine, but then almost at the exact same spot taxiing from a cold start the sim crashes. It is very frustrating, especially considering the amount of time I have dedicated to learning this module. As far as my rig, I am operating a Cyber Power Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-14900K, 3200 Mhz, 24 Core(s), 32 Logical Processor(s), with Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090. So handling this module and DCS should be no problem. These crashes only happen with this MiG-29A module. It appears something is wrong with this module and Pimax Play. Anyone else having these issues?

Following check list procedure am unable to get HSI and ADI to work after the 15 sec mag&comp input. They work only if generating from ME in the air.

Kinda figured that but was not sure. Thanks!

Can't seem to figure how or where to set F4E bingo fuel levels. What am I missing? Any ideas?

Completely uninstalled and reinstalled the Steam MI-8 module. All my DLC content appears normal, however...still having the exact same problem as described initially above. What is strange is that all other 15 modules have never had this problem, only the MI-8! Any further help would be most appreciated.

Trying to post under bugs and problems, but did not see any opportunity to start new topic... Anyway...have Steam DCS 2.9, using DLSS. Just downloaded from steam store the MI-8, everything works just fine except all the stock skins/liveries are corrupted into a green mottled digital camo pattern. The interior cockpit instrument panel graphics are fine, but the pilots, rotor and exteriors are corrupted. Any ideas and or solutions? Thanks!
