Taking F-14 1-1 slot in certain missions crashes DCS

[Panny]

Hi there,

I've just started getting this issue and it's driving me insane. It seems that with how the Mission Editor compiles certain missions, it can cause the lead F-14 of a mission editor to crash the client's DCS. It can be immediate, it can crash after a few minutes.

I though it was a problem on my side, but I've wiped and reinstalled my DCS and the problem is still there.

Interestingly, the bug can be avoided by recompiling the mission in Combat Flite.

 

Anyway, it's extremely annoying.

 

Bug: Certain missions cause the lead client F-14 in an ME group to crash their DCS.

Can I reproduce it 100%: Yes.

How to reproduce/ description:

I've uploaded a mission, which is an edited version of Heatblurring the Lines. Try either unit 1 of the first or second F-14 group. Notice the problem does not occur with any of the other Tomcats.

 

DCS Version: DCS 2.7.8.16140 Open Beta

System Specs:

5900x, 3090, 32GB RAM, 970 Evo, Win10 64Bit

 

Mods: Some liveries, that's it.

 

This is a very frustrating issue, and I'm hoping I'm not alone on this, since I really don't know why I'm getting it.

 

Cheers,
Peter

Thank you, we will look into this.

I tried to run the mission in single player and in MP, hopping into both lead aircraft and didn't get any crashes. Do you happen to have a copy of the log where this has occured?

I'll have to run it again.

With my flying group I did have others test it and found it affected 75% of people, but not all.
