CAP/Fightersweep Jet AI preset causes CTD

[iFoxRomeo]

Scenario:

Jet aircraft set to CAP/Fightersweep inbound to a B-17 Bomber.

CTD as soon as the AI Jet "sees" one of those Bombers.

And it seems to CTD only with B-17G, A-20G, Ju88 A-4 as bomber. Any other aircraft/bomber I checked(not all) didn't cause a CTD

 

Same scenario, but with Jet set to e.g. Nothing/CAS -> no CTD

Just edit the mission, Jet CAP to CAS

 

When the Jet is well outside visible range, EWR will trigger the CAP command and cause a CTD.

Just open the second mission. EWR will be activated 1 minute into the game. Once the EWR finds the Bomber and activates the CAP Jet, the game crashes.

 

Interestingly Prop aircraft set to CAP don't cause CTD.

A modern jet with radar "sees" the bomber earlier and would cause the CTD sooner than the visual-only jets. I tested only F-86, MiG-15, MiG-21, F-16, F-18

Thanks for your detailed report.

I'm unable to reproduce the crashes : it seems to be fixed internally.
