fixed CTD when slotting into a different module after flying the Gazelle

[gnomechild]

Can't get a track, because of the crash, but it's easy to reproduce. Slot into a gazelle client slot, leave the slot, slot into another module. The game crashes to desktop every time.

I cannot reproduce the issue. Please attach the latest zip from your "Saved Games/DCS.../Logs" folder.

We are tracking a possible crash, but it is not related to changing the module. Could you post a log as recommended by flappy? Thanks

Reproduced a crash on the 4YA Syria Server

1. Load into SA-342L at FARP-London, Load up 4 HOT Missiles and Sand Filter, take-off/hover taxi and land
2. Select Spectator Role and check map
3. Select A-10A slot at Incirlik - DCS Crashes to desktop/triggers crash reporter
4. Steam validated all 100482 files (548.7 GB) as correct.

Many thanks! Crash reproduced.

I'll try this procedure on some other server/mission to make sure it is not caused by some mission script.

Note: Spawning in the A-10A slot before switching to the SA-342L was good, only crashed when I switched back from the SA-342L to the A-10A (I haven't tested all the other possible combinations - main purpose was  to see if I could generate the reported crash).

I'm doing it now. Both -M and -L are affected. I'm now trying to see if it crashes whatever aircraft is used after leaving the Gazelle.
EDIT: AH-64 is OK, A-10A, Su-25, Su-25T, MiG-29 and F-15C are causing the crash. Trying all other FC3 a/c.

No need to rearm, by the way. No need to take off either.

Edited June 12, 2023 by Flappie

Conclusion: it only happens when switching from a Gazelle to any FC3 aircraft.

[cfrag]

This is a strange one, and it seems to happen whenever I change out of the Gazelle into an FC3 aircraft (e.g. A-10A): DCS crashes, requiring a restart. Is this a known issue, or do you want me to provide a mission to re-produce and track?

I used to have this problem 100% of time and now I do not now.

I think it was crashing even with other modules.

Meanwhile SRS got updated, so perhaps you should try to do the same to see if perhaps source of crash is there.

I reproduced this bug on the 4YA Syria server - not sure of the cause but it's reported.

 

[cfrag]

I can confirm that this is happening to me as well, fc aircraft after gazelle will CTD. A-10A, F-15C.

 

[okopanja]

Yes, I just crashed on 4YA Syria when switching from Gazelle in flight to Su-33...

Edited June 15, 2023 by okopanja

[okopanja]

Just managed to crash on GS server as well, it appears you need to fly a bit, and then it consistently crashes.

It looks like the Gazelle is not de-initialized properly on airplane switch.

[okopanja]

F-16 does not cause crash, furthermore: if you switch from gazelle to f-16 and then to FC3 it does not crash (WORKAROUND)

 

[cfrag]

F/A-18 also does NOT cause a crash after exiting a Gazelle.

Hello guys, should be fixed in this update.
