mi-24 chopper causes CTD

[csb 12]

Ever since I have had this addon it seems to cause ctd but on an irregular basis.

 

In a mission, game sometimes crashes when I use next object key, to look at various a/c, and I look at th mi-24. Game doesn't crash straight away but just before the mi-24 appears on screen. And this doesn't happen always, perhaps 50% of time.

 

Game also seems to crash every now and then (reason unknown) when the mi24 is installed, ie mi-24 folder in aircraft folder.

 

This is a required addon for Middle East Wars campaign and only used here.

 

To the modders of this chopper - Why is there a mi-24 cockpit.ini (main mi-24 folder) and also AH-1G cockpit.ini in the cockpit folder? The included readme notes these two files.

 

Should the mi24 cockpit ini be in cockpit folder?

Is the AH-1G cockpit ini needed?

 

Frustration.

 

 

In an earlier post I had modded the sound file but this is not the cause of problem - problem seems to have been since chopper has been installed.

Question #1, Have you done the flightengine mods?

 

The stock set up in the flightengine.ini were done for graphics cards about 5 years old by now and with the models targetted around 6k polys and 512x512 texture bmp's. Now a days most mid-range systems can handle a lot more polys and higher resolution textures. But you need to do the flightengine.ini mods.

 

If you have not done it yet, search in the knowledge database or at SimHQ or Colum5's site.

 

Regarding the cockpit.ini, whatever the Mi-24.ini has specified as the cockpit file, that is what is needed, the other one was probably left by mistake from a previous model release.

 

If I remember correct it does use the Cobra pit but was renamed to Mi-24

Again a quick reply, Thanks Capun.

 

Found the ini mod in knowledge base and I'll try it.

 

Did you get the mi-24 sound mod?
