[NO BUG] Unable to cold start in Vegas after being shot down

[DrZaius]

I've been creating a multiplayer mission on NTTR and the cold-start hornets that spawn at Boulder City are fine for a sortie but after death and respawn, things start to break. The most common is the right engine never finishes cranking. Sometimes the MFD buttons won't work, sometimes the MFDs all say 'Standby' and never load, sometimes the HUD freezes and never unfreezes. Hot start hornets seem to have a longer lease on life than cold start, but they too eventually stop working right. A repair can sometimes fix the issue, but eventually the hornet stops working altogether. I've moved the hornets to Laughlin, they still fail when spawning there.

 

I've attached a Zip with the log file from my client running the multiplayer mission, a copy of the track where I run out, die, respawn only to have my right crank never finish on restart, and a copy of the mission where this happened.

Been struggling with this since reporting it, eventually found out that Viggens were broken in the same mission too, sometimes losing all their fuel in 20 seconds or losing all flight control while in flight.

 

Yesterday I uninstalled my copy of DCS that was converted from stable to open beta in November 2018. After deleting all folders and rebooting, reinstalled a fresh copy of the open beta. Re-added Hornets and Viggens to the mission in question, it's been running for 24 hours without problem. Must have been something gone wrong in my install that was exported in the mission? I had done the repair process on the old install before, never had any issues. Either way, the problem has been solved by a fresh install. Thanks for your silent but strong support :thumbup:

Thanks for letting us know, it had us scratching our heads here as we were having problems reproducing.
