cannot reproduce Game crash when CBU detonating

Chacalus · July 27, 2024

Recently purshased the FC-2024 and enjoying some F-86F, MiG-15bis and F-5E3 good time flying. Will certainly buy 'em full fidelity soon.

But let me report this before :

I set a ground target training mission in Marianas, like I always do, to get my hand on new modules.

The mission is always the same : taking off from Andersen, the Seawise Giant, 8 km at sea, big n easy, a U-boat VIIC, small and viscious, to defend the first, and the Forrestal somewhere else, big and undestructible, to estimate destruction power of each module's weapon.

To make it not too heavy, I made one mission for warbirds, one for coldwar era, one modern era and one for rotaries.

No problem until Mi-24P sometimes made the game crash when I swapped from another helo to the Hind. Seemed to be the cockpit textures, stopped loading, like when there's not enough memory... The game freezed with no hope to unfreeze one day. Had to restart DCS. Nevermind, this bug stopped one day. Nice.

But now, all the 3 new FC-2024 modules tend to make the game crash at some point. And not freezing. Just crash. End of graphics engine and crash-report window. It happens mostly when I shoot at the Uboat.

With the MiG-15bis, it happened when I shoot from very close distance, like under 200 meters. When shells it the water, everything is nice, but on the Uboat,this will crash the game at some point.

With the F-86F, guns don't really seem to do something, it only crashed once. However, the HVAR rockets 95% made the game crash. Not on lauching or reaching the target, only on impact. Not on the Seawise or the Forrestal, only with the german sub.

With the F-5E3, I wanted to try each bombs and started with the CBU-52B. But these also crashed the game on impact. When dropping, I hit ctrl-F5 to see the bombing result and when the Uboat is hit by the first bomblets, game crash.

Thanks for your patience.
