[REPORTED] In mission "The Night Life", aircraft explodes after cold start

[TuffAsAir]

I tried playing this mission a few times last night but kept blowing up spontaneously before the end of INS alignment. I figured I was making an error and decided to move along.

 

Tonight, I tried again, same results. The nose of the aircraft jumps around a few times and the plane explodes.

 

I just tried again(auto start this time) to grab a track, but I can't upload it here because the file is too big.

 

I don't think that is is pilot error. :smilewink:

Did you verify the cockpit setup prior to starting the checklist had it happen in some other module it turn out a switch on my wh throttle was in the wrong position

Yes, I have checked to see if this was the case and no luck on that front.

I can start the F-16C in any other mission without issues, but not this particular mission. It's as if I am being hit by invisible weapon fire.

I do have this problem too,

The reason your plane explode is duo to it start bouncing around on the ramp and inevitably colliding into the ground.

This only happen after F16's TWS capability update, and only happen in "The night life" single mission.

It differently isn't player's fault, hope ED will fix it soon.

The track file is 23mb after 4 minutes in the mission. Since the max size of a track file upload is 5mb, I simply can't upload it to confirm the issue.

Attached is a screenshot of the mission debrief where you may notice, at 2:04:37, the "AN/ALE-47 container failure" just prior to Colt 1's(player) death.

 

 

No mods and fresh repair.

If you can tell me a way to send an oversized track file, I will gladly upload one.

Had the same problem. Changed the mission and spawned from a different parking spot and the problem was solved. It may have had something to do with the turbulence from airplanes taking off, but I'm not sure.

It is wake turbulence. I turned it off and didn't have any issues.
