do a quick test: rename the folder C:\Users\Raphi\Saved Games\DCS\Mods to Mods.bak, to ensure the problem isn’t caused by a user mod

and also do a Steam verify to confirm the integrity of the game files.

Thank you Sir, i will try that!

I did everything you told me to do, and now it crashed even 10 seconds into the cockpit...

It created a new DCS_AJS37 Folder without the .bak that i added to the old one.

I just dont get it. Every other module works fine.

Hi, 

can you please show what is the content of your C:\Users\Raphi\Saved Games\DCS\ folder?

by any chance, have you enabled a custom cockpit for the viggen? Areyou using a custom livery for it?

Your log does show quite afew errors for the viggen module, but doesnt show a clear cause for the crash.

I dont really know how to show you the folder, but i dont use a custom Cockpit or livery.

With the folder windows active, pressing the Alt + PrintScreen keys will place its image on the clipboard, then open a graphics program like Paint, and paste it there. Save the file and upload it somewhere

By default, the Viggen cames with two cockpits: Default and "Imperial Stickers", on my case I also have the custom cockpit "English". make sure to be using the "Default", I'm just trying to eliminate any possible cause.

 

On DCS, a crash like yours can only have three sources:

1) A hardware fault, which on your case is highly unlikely since other DCS Modules work fine.

 

2) A corrupt DCS program file ... these are validated with the Steam's "Verify Integrity" button:

 

 

I imagine you have already checked the integrity.

 

3) The last possible cause, is a file within the DCS User area at /Saved Games/ ... you can force DCS to re-create this area, in the following way:

make sure to not be using the DCS Off-line Mode.

exit DCS

rename the folder C:\Users\Raphi\Saved Games\DCS\ to DCS.bak (renaming allows you to easily go back to your prior status).

then restart DCS, it will ask for your user credentials and it will create a default C:\Users\Raphi\Saved Games\DCS\ folder ... do not attempt to play, instead exit DCS.

Then copy the \Config sub folder of your PRIOR folder (at DCS.bak), which contains your basic configuration (DCS user credentials, graphics options, and command bindings)

Now restart DCS and then re-test your Viggen Module.

 

Does the Viggen now works?

Did everything you listed, but no chance. Small CAS mission, 10 Minutes in, CTD

 ... ok, seems like you will need to open a support ticket, so that an experienced ED tech support person can help you:

Hey Raphomet!
Can you send the mission file, or simply post it here in this thread? I am going to take a look later on ...

[Raphomet]

Sorry but where can i find this file?

[TOViper]

Was it one of the:
a) "INSTANT ACTION" missions, or
b) "TRAINING" missions, or
c) "CREATE FAST MISSION", or
d) Did you create one with the mission editor ?
Depending on this, the mission file is located on different places on your disc.

If you know the name of the mission, you can do a file search with the windows search function.
Without the mission file (.miz) its hard to check whats going on...

It was a little CAS mission i made in the editor. I did not finish it because of the crashes.

Northern_Strike.miz

[TOViper]

It crashes my DCS as well, about 12 to 15 minutes after starting it.
I did not took off with any aircraft, just watched the show.
Next test: I will remove the Viggen from the mission and replace it with the Su25, and watch again.

I managed to run the mission, but without Viggen. IMHO, the crash is related solely to the Viggen.
Reading the logfile, it might have to do with the amount of targets and the update of the data-cardridges target list, but I am not an expert in understanding DCS log files and it might be related to something else.

Thus, I'll forward this to the Heatblur team, including my logs and the TRK.
@MYSE1234 Can you please check this one out, maybe its a (known) bug, thanks!

@Raphomet Have you tried deleting your DCS_AJS37 folder inside Saved Games, or deleting all files inside it? Some times you get a bad cartridge file in there that causes a crash. The mission itself funs fine for me. And you there's tonnes of weird DTC stuff in the log, so I'd start with removing the cartridge files.

Hi,

Same on mine as well, it took a bit over 9 minutes .. I was on the Viggen's cockpit, just watching the action in external view. here are my crash files:

I had disabled all of my Mods for this test, it is a strange bug indeed. 

dcs.log-20240216-200247.zip

 

Otherwise, the Viggen works fine on my system, I've been flying it almost daily trying to master the Rb05 for a Training mission that I'm editing

I have the same problems with DCS crashes during Red Flag company and some training missions. There are not problems with other planes.
