fixed GMT ground moving target Radar - while in use random crash to desktop - possible MT issue

[darkman222]

The squadron I fly with, last week had a mission with the use of GMT (ground moving target) Radar involved. 4 out of 10 Vipers including me got a crash to desktop.

We tried to find what caused it. And its no specific action on the GMT that creates the crash. I could reproduce it just slewing the radar cursor around, after locking and unlocking, while having the TGP on the other MFD.

I have a SP test mission with which I could recreate the crash. When it crashed I took the dcs.log and extracted the track file.

It crashes again if you run the track file. It also crashes on a different PC. My main PC is an i9 13900KS and and the other one is an i7 11800H laptop.

Interesting to see is:

-On the i9 it only crashes the first time DCS is run after a boot / reboot. If you dont reboot, the second time I run the track file it does not crash.

-On the i7 it crashes every time I run the track

-on single threaded it does not crash on any system.

 

I have attached the DCS Log from the crash. And extracted the track file: "dcs.20240609-144443.trk" if other people want to see if it crashes their system.

Also see the system specs of my both PCs

reproduced the crash.

Can you say if it happens on Caucasus terrain also or not? 

I am reporting now 

thank you

The mission in which it crashed for a lot of people was in Syria. At the moment I can only confirm it happens on the Syria map. I can give it a try on Caucasus tonight maybe.
