balaton Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 Hi Dear Guys, I've been away from my DCS sim for a while, and when I wanted to fly it again I downloaded the latest update (two days ago). When I click on "FLY" my mission, after a lengthy loading my DCS crashes to desktop. I have Nevada, Caucasus maps and the A-10 and Mi-8. Just wanted to purchase the Mi-8 oil campaign but it is suspended util I can fix my problem. Never encountered a problem like this before. Any help/advise/hint is much appreciated. Tamas

Rudel_chw Posted June 26, 2018 Posted June 26, 2018 I've been away from my DCS sim for a while, and when I wanted to fly it again I downloaded the latest update (two days ago). When I click on "FLY" my mission, after a lengthy loading my DCS crashes to desktop. Try to first load your Mission on the Mission Editor, no need to change anything on it, just save the mission and then try to fly it again. This is because there have been subtle updates on the internal structure of the mission files, and so before running an old mission it is advisable to load/save it on the Mission Editor to "update" the old mission.
