I can confirm the Windows 8 compability really works. I loaded mission then Shift+R several time. Then quit mission and again Shift+R multiple times. Then Loaded misson editor, edit nothing fly mission from editor. Then again Shift+R. Ani i havent single crash. After this i restarted DCS ( i dont delete fxo folder on purpose ) and again few Shift+R and again 0 Crashes!!!
