Crash on flying mission - without waiting for mission textures to finish loading

[JimmyWA]

I've found that when I load a mission I've created - in this case using the Persian Gulf Map - it takes a while to finish loading all the textures.

 

Because I've flown this mission a lot and did not need to edit it, I loaded it, decided not to wait the three minutes or so for the textures to load, and clicked on fly.

 

The game crashed out to windows.

 

If I then try to run DCS, it hangs at the menu window - just showing the hangar, and a bit of the aircraft. Nothing else. The only resolution is to restart computer to be able to load DCS again.
