DCS crash (seemingly because of Viggen's radar)

[tiizy]

Sometimes it takes a little time to reproduce, but DCS regurarly crashes when I fly the Viggen with the radar on. Sometimes it happens right after take-off, sometimes after 20-30 minutes using the radar.

Log attached, it indicates the problem starting from line 8205:

Hello tiizy,

have you already tried a repair (dcs_updater.exe repair)?
I am asking because I had similar problems in the past one time with the F-14 module, where I noticed that during a normal update process the F-14 module was not updated completely.
After applying a repair, a few files of the F-14 module (and by the way a few files of BAZAR) had been replaced, and then everything was OK.

Thank you for a reply, TOViper!

Could you hint how one may see what has been changed during the update process? I now have done both the fast and the slow version of repairs, but I got no clue, about possibly downloaded files.

Thank you for the report Tiizy, please let us know if the crash still occurs after the repair. Thank you!

Hey tiizy! I am not 100% sure, but I think there is a file somewhere named "autoupdater.log" (or something very similar, its in the DCS root folder I think). TBH, I can't really remember where I read about my missing files back then).
Maybe @IronMike is better in knowing this, because unfortunately I currently have no access to my DCS machine 
Edit: on the other hand, I you applied the repair, and then fly, you - hopefully - see a difference...

Not sure if that kind of information is really visible. I may be wrong, but I also never looked for it. If you have modded/altered files, the updater lists them, befor you can delete them. I have never seen it provide a list of files that were missing though.

In the DCS installation folder the file which shows all changes is autoupdate_log.txt

Thank you, @TOViper! I had a long flight yesterday > 1.5h and it didn't crash. Therefore, I would assume the problem is solved.

Ok, sounds good, happy it works now!
