Flying new A/C in WOE without Oct 08 patch

[wmorgan]

I have not installed the Oct 08 patch to my WOE set-up because I'm concerned about the effect on the dozens of mods I have installed. I now am downloading some of the newer A/C which function fine, so far as I can tell, except that at the end of the mission when the ESC key is pressed I get an immediate CTD. Is there a fix or change that can be made to the newer A/C to eliminate the problem? I have looked in the knowlege base without success. As an example, I just acquired the new SU-27SM and installed it into my WOE. It works well right up to the time you exit, then the game crashes. BTW, I am running WOE on Vista. Any assistance will be appreciated.

Either download the latest patch so u wont have to touch anything, or go into all ur terrain data inis and disable the effects shaders. Thats whats more then likely causing ur CTDs.

It isnt the planes, its Vista. That above topic explains all.

I will tell you certain aircraft either released or soon to be released will not work correctly without the Oct08 patch.
