Coming back to SF2NA after a break...with an issue

[tn_prvteye]

I'm having an odd issue with eburger's excellent SF2NA expanded campaign.  I keep getting random crashes...sometimes in the loadout screen...sometimes during gameplay. There's no ryhme or reason behind it.  I'm trying to fly the 1986 campgain with VF-31.  It seems to be happening with the F-14 Squads only.  I managed to fly a mission with the Hornet and no crashes.

 

I followed the directions to the letter, no other addons...and I'm patched up to the latest.  However, I've got SweetFX installed, but all the other SF2 series have no problem with it.

 

Anyone else seen this, or am I just unlucky?
