• Pilot sight - down
  
• Mistral seeker tone - beeping

Screenshot: N/A

Track Available: N/A

Controllers: X52 Pro (Throttle), MS Sidewinder FFB2 (cyclic), TrackIR

OS: Win 10 Pro

RAM: 12GB

GPU: GTX 670 2Gb

Mods: JSGME all disabled

Additional Info: Loading the 4x Mistrals is not enough, the weapons system must on and active. When testing, restart DCS between missions as the damage state can persist i.e. a hot parking Gazelle Mistral spawned with a broken tail and running engine. Repeating the test with a SA-342L does not crash DCS. Turning off the Armament system after activating it doesn't stop the CTD when the player dies

Yes I've been having the same issues as you with the SA-342 Mistral. Also with the weapons system not active, crashes, even relatively minor ones, almost always end in an explosion.

I've noticed it as well that going from the mistral version to another version sometimes causes a crash. So we can collect data, can you guys send us you DCS log along with the crash log so we can look at the info. Thanks.

I assume you want dcs.log and the matching crash .dmp file.

Here's one from just now.

A single SA342 Mistral, 2x2 Mistral, 66% Fuel, hot parking @ Batumi, Armament system on, Seeker tone beeping.

Take-off, assend to ~20m, roll inverted, crash killing pilot and co-pilot

The 3rd person (F2) view of the burning Gazelle doesn't appear, instead a windows error message appears as described in my 1st post

After trying various loadouts and switch positions, the common indicator that the CTD will occur is if the missile seeker tone has played sometime prior to the pilot and co-pilot dying.

Seems correct...only once missile system is active does it occur. Testing different situtaions and hopefully will find work around until we can resolve issue.

It's been fixed and will appear in a next update
