Ctd in AF on exit...

Fixed this by deleting sqrns that are not in AF database...

Any,or most sqrns with star symbol (ex: Rafael) will cause ctd on exit.

Dunno why,
but anyway fix is by using pure AF database and deleting SP4 entries...

Chow.

Hmm interesting, do you have the definite list for these aircraft types?

[phoenix]

Well,

In TE you will find all airframes that are used in database...

(Think this is same for all flavours but not sure)

Ctd used to occour in Afghan theater as well...

SP3\4 are what these theaters are based on so for example Rafael exists in OF\FF database but not in Allied force,However Mig29(sm) exists in AF but not in SP4...

Kinda hard to explain but best thing is if i type out a list of all available and working ordnance in AF and the post it in a new thread under database in general F4 forum.

Maybe get OF\RV teams to do the same and at least we will have a full database of what works in each of these three great versions...

Will post up a list tomoro as goin out for a few beers now with her indoors

Missing several airbases in sourthern Norway, Rygge AFB, Kjeller, Rakkestad (strip), Torp, Kjevik, Lista.

I think we need to upgrade to a better highway standard also
The small turning roads looks misplaced in europe.

I also think we should try to fix rivers. Remove "Bad" rivers... I hvae no idea how. There might be better datasets available than DCW ?

Almost impossible put every airbase especilally in correctly. In Hungary missing more than four. Pápa, Kecskemét, Debrecen, Kiskunlacháza, Sármellék, Kalocsa, Szentkirályszabadja, Kunmadaras.

Balaton/Ságvar, Zalaegerszeg, Pécs, Öcsény never were military airbase.
Some of them only for aero spotrs club and weren't any military infrastructure and some had only grass runway...

[Snake Man]

Red Dog is our airbase expert, hopefully he answers to the airbase questions.

I am not sure this is right place to post crashlog, anyway my system is
Pent 4: 1.7, memory 512, WinXP pro, Logitech force, Ndivia Geforce FX 5600, Sound Hercules 7.1

When I flew few minutes in campaign of Europe theater then the computer restart by itself.

I am sorry . I have the wrong post. The theater have the problem should be afghanistan, not Europe theater. I am sorry again. I guess too early to wake up.

[Snake Man]

Thxxx Toxic

[Snake Man]

Did the crash occur in campaign or TE?

[Toxic]

in Campaign in AF.

[ccc]

eurpe 1985, first campaign, fly tornado IDS from Zuibrucken.

it seems that airbase is not fully levelled, parking area and some taxiway flashing on/off at some angle.

[ccc]

fly F18C from Aviano.

experience minor stutters over Alps area..minor.

two CTDs, when i exit RVs.

when i noted stutters, i exit campaign, then exit RV - CTD.
the second time, i fly DCA, down some su17 and mig25 over Alps, land and exit campaign, then exit rV - CTD.

[Snake Man]

From first post:

But please keep on posting more feedback, all is appreciated. I'll update the first post always when new bugs are reported.

[ccc]

[Toxic]

[Ozyra]

Hi all and congratulations for Europe Theater to Snake Man..

My feedback about "Kavelstorf Highway Strip"

It has different runway. Everything is ok on runway's first part.. But when u go ahead on runway, u are burying in asphalt slowly. Aircraft dont gettin damage from that. Its only a visual problem.

[Snake Man]

Added the bug into bugs list at first post, thanks for reporting.

[Snake Man]

Please continue reporting bugs in Europe v0.6 bug reports topic, thanks.
