OH-58 Kiowa CTD With NVG+ODA and AI Pilot HUD

[Str][ker]

The Kiowa consistently crashes to desktop when I am in a mission and turn on the NVG and then the ODA. If I turn on the AI Pilot HUD, the game instantly crashes to desktop. This for me is in VR running on a Varjo Aero. The user I am quoting below uses Pimax.

I grabbed this from another forum so it can get fixed.

Reproduce:
1. Load instant action mission (tried syria free flight and syria infiltration challenge)
2. Turn on NVG
3. Turn on ODA
Either it crashes already now or
4. Toggle Pilot AI HUD
If it still didn't crash, toggle ODA and HUD a couple times.

I'm running updated windows 11, good hardware, pimax crystal in openxr, tested without mods, tested after slow repair + extra files, deleted saved games folder.

I'm having the exact same problem at the moment, it's very consent and repeatable.

 

It's very frustrating to be honest.

Yes, also experienced this along with a friend who was flying in another Kiowa. Sometimes it crashes immediately on activation of the ODA, other times it seems to be OK then crashes sometime after the initial activation.

Getting the same problem with ODA. Very repeatable.
