resolved DCS crashes loading Supercarrier + F/A-18C Cold start Mission or a A-10C II Instant action

[McAnders]

Hi,

Loading A-10C II to a Cold start mission causes a crash to desktop. The attached logs are from this moment.
I'm able to start F/A 18C in a Cold and Dark Instant action mission on Caucasus. I can load A-10A in Caucasus.

It doesn't matter if I use MT option or not, still crashes.

But I can no longer start F/A-18C using Supercarrier mission "Cold start" on Persian Gulf map.
If I try to start that mission it starts without the player airframe and you are in map view. Clicking F2 gives a camera view following another plane.

I am not using any mods at all and it's running completely vanilla. I have 36 DLCs only. A lot of them have been reinstalled today, and game has been verified from Steam as well.

Checked that I have latest version of Windows 11 and all the Visual C++ runtime packages from microsoft.
Latest NVidia driver for my Asus RTX 3080 12GB. Latest DCS 2.9 Open beta.
Logitech Extreme and TrackIR 5.

The error I have in the logs is:

DCS/2.9.2.49940 (x86_64; MT; Windows NT 10.0.22631)

Please, any idea would be nice.

Hi, 

please remove your custom mod 

Custom Mods
JAS39

Please increase your pagefile to at least 32768 MB (initial size)

Run a verify of DCS 

If you still crash attach your fresh crash folder

best regards

I experienced the same issues - Supercarrier module simply wouldn't load (various carrier-capable aircraft and carrier missions selected- F-14 & F/A-18), although the mission would load, there's no carrier or support ships on the map. The A-10C II would fail on load and crash DCS to desktop. 

Deleted JAS39 (no other mods remaining). Problem SOLVED! 

Thanks @McAnders for reporting, and @BIGNEWY for the fix!

Hi,

Removing JAS39 folder was all I needed to do. It works now.
It's a bit embarrasing because I mixed it with AJS37.. and realized JAS39 is a mod. And I'm from Sweden.. AND even a fan of both aircrafts.

So, no more JAS39 in DCS then?

I will try the pagefile setting as well.

Thanks @BIGNEWY for the quick response and fix!
