DCS freezes during mission "GULF WAR OF ISKENDERUN"

[AstonMartinDBS]

I've tried the F/A-18C Hornet mission designed by @GazAce twice, but on both attempts I've ended up in a DCS freeze:

Each freeze occured shortly after reaching WP1 (bulls) and adding WPs 3 to 5 by entering the MGRS. On the first try DCS freezed during entering MGRS for WP4 and on my second run it freezed at approach to WP5 (Scud launcher). Sound continued playin' (incl. radio @CH3), graphics freezed. Had to quit DCS via Taskmanager.

 

Current OB installed (2.7.5.10869).

 

Log files attached.

Track unavailable, the auto saved last mission track (located at %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp\DCS\LastMissionTrack.trk) is sadly outdated.

 

I never had any freezes before flying this mission. I'm not sure if the source of this issue is the Mission, the Hornet or the DCS core.

I just flew my mission & yep same happened to me but I got a bit further than you did. I took out remaining WP-4 Targets & Radar unit at WP-5 then was heading for another pass to WP-5 & switched on Radio chatter. I was pausing mission on & off as was responding to texts on my mobile. Mission time was around 40 mins when it froze & was weird because all sounds kept playing.. radio chatter & aircraft noise. It's pretty disappointing as I spent months putting it together because of other issues of bombs not releasing from the plane. Anyway, I don't know what to do man, it's a bummer. We should be able to run all missions we create from the ME that don't have Mods.. without all this bs going on you know.

I'm going to give Rise of The Persian Lion Campaign a go & forget about it for now anyway

I will fly it tonight and report later.

OK I downloaded the miz from users section and flew it - no freeze on latest OB, one thing though. I noticed the mission was saved before Hornet code change (flares / chaff) so I ensured this mission was re-saved (adjusted flares from 28 to 60 with 60 chaff) and saved the file again. I had no issues completing the mission. 

@GazAce I think you should re-upload the mission to user files. Adjust flares / chaff and save it. I am not promising it is the issue fix but it worked for me.

Thanks Gierasimov brother, much appreciated for your input as I also am to AstinMartinDBS concerning this issue.

I'm probably just going to move on now & not pursue this anymore as I have as you know a good little mission in the 

beautiful Marianas map completed & I'll be posting this one in the next day or so. I will say this though & that is that

I think the ED team should have a serious look at our ME when it comes to mission creation without ingame

generated problems. I do understand the complexity & the amount & resources needed to monitor & fix this, hence why

it's basically up to us Users to test & report but we are only just Users & it's frustrating for us also. Overall though,  

I respect & I support ED & I'm grateful for this wonderful Sim which has given me years of pleasure to date & also taught me

lots of cool things I never knew before. I thank them for that & I do realise the awesome good certainly out weighs the negatives

& I'll always support DCS

Thanks for this hint. I'll adjust flares/chaff loadout, give the mission another try and report about the result.

I've downloaded your updated mission, but the freeze occured again. This time a few minutes after entering MGRS for WP 3 - 5, immediately after receiving the message, that I'm cleared to engage the SCUD launcher (WP 5)

 

Again no current LastMissionTrack.trk available.
