Igor4U Posted July 16, 2018 Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) As Follows: Instant Action - F/A-18C - Nevada - Free Flight - If I try to land the Aircraft, below a set altitude on Final Approach - the entire (DCS World) Application Crashes. Wanted to just get a Familiarization / Local Area Orientation ride in the Hornet - Free Flight Nevada looked like a caual sortie without anyone taking Fox Twos at me. But the Scenario won't let me land. Has happened four times in a row. Twice attempting to Land at Nellis AFB, and once trying to land at Creech AFB (Indian Springs). And just now again going into Nellis (descending thru 2,700 ft MSL - field elevation ~1,900 ft MSL). I always get an altitude warning about 3,000 ft AGL followed by (approx 3 Mile Final and just below 1,000 ft AGL) the entire application (DCS World) Crashes. Just Me - or are others having same problem ? All other Instant Action F/A-18C missions I've tried are so far OK (haven't flown all of them yet). Free Flight Caucasus works fine - Landing A-OK - No Problem What's up with this - maybe a Known Bug-a-Boo (but new to me). PS: My DCS World 2.5+ Build has worked flawlessly up until now. OK - Here we go again. DCS World Crash going into Nellis AFB (Instant Action - F/A-18C - Nevada - VFR Landing) - same at 2,800ft MSL on 3 Mile Final) Must be something with the Nevada Map and my System. Other Modules land fine at all bases (Nellis, Creech, Homey, Tonapoh) More: Instant Action - F/A-18C - Nevada - Aircraft Takeoff and Navigation - DCS World Crashed before the scenario even can open. This F-18C Module coupled with the Nevada Map will not allow me to descend below 1,000 ft AGL. Very Strange Bug here !dcs.log-20180716-181237.zip Edited July 16, 2018 by Igor4U trying to attach logs
Igor4U Posted July 17, 2018 Author Posted July 17, 2018 FIXED The Problem (DCS World Crashing) was more exptensive than I first thought. I thought it was only restricted to the F/A-18C Module with Nevada Map (after 2.5.2.19273.411 Update) with any flight that descends (or originates) below ~1,000 ft AGL. But thru Trial & Error I discovered it was all Modules with the Nevada Map (same about the Altitude: descending below or originating below ~1,000 ft AGL). So something is happening in the Graphics Rendering (Resolution / Textures ??) as you descend below 1,000 ft AGL on the Nevada Map. The FIX: Updated to the current Nvidia Driver (398.36). This seems to have solved the Problem. PS: Yes - I did have a Graphics Driver that was a few years old. My Theory (when it come to updating Drivers) is to let Sleeping Dogs Lie. I am hestitant to update Drivers unless they: - Fix a Bug - Increase Performance - Add Features you want/need In this case - my Theory was Wrong. Updating the Driver Fixed me ! :pilotfly:
