ok guys, this issue has happened in the past to others, including me, and the cause was the wrong setting with one of Zuti's mods, the airfield reduced radius and also the friction mod.
i have exactly the same symptoms now - game CTD's a few seconds after the planes are starting up on the carrier deck. as in the other cases, it's only the AI planes that cause this, or if i let autopilot take over my plane. if i fly manually, it doesn't crash, but the catapult doesn't work, either.
the Zuti mod has always been the cause in the past, but in my case, i'm not running ANY Zuti mod - running UP2.0n, which says it has carrier takeoff enabled by default - this is puzzling me, is there no option to disable it then, in UP2.0n? are there any Zuti mods which run by default? i've looked through all the readme's and haven't found any mention of it...
any pointers would ber appreciated - i haven't done carrier starts in some time, and just noticed this when i tried the new Sea Mossie (although it happens with any plane)
which other mods might interfere and cause these crashes (it's a memory crash)? ???
any ideas?

Hello SAS~Malone I'm experiencing the exact same problems you are.  Have tried removing various recent additions to my MODS but to no avail.  This is a fairly recent problem because only weeks ago I made some skins for Bombsaway so needed the Graf operational.

In single use is fine, no problems.  Apart from no catapult.



Like you though if I switch to Auto or have multiple aircraft aboard sim crashes.



Like you I have UP. ???

Hope there is a simple fix for this.

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

i had same problem as you guys
i was frustrated....but for me solution was very simple.....
i activated 00_Safe_DLLs and 02_CarrierTakeoffMod_5.3.3 .....try it ....

[Mission_bug]

Hello stanko.petrovic, I already had the carrier mod activated but not the DLL's so I activated them with no joy.  De-activated and then re-activated the carrier mod but again no joy.  Even loaded my previous buttons file in case something there might be the problem, alas no joy.

Thank you very much for the help though.

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

[SAS~Malone]

yeah...none of said options have worked for me, either. the problem persists...

[Stanko-01]

strange......i will see if i can find something....ill post it here

[SAS~Malone]

Pete, d'you think we should compare mods, to see if we can spot a possible common denominator? it might help to cut down on time spent going through everything....maybe just post a pic of your mods folder, and i'll do the same. also, which mods are you running via JSGME?

[Mission_bug]

Hello SAS~malone don't know if it will help but here you go.

Upper area of Mods folder.



Lower.




Mod enabler.



The main items I've added lately have all been nautical.  Lacota's ships, the PT and the Sea Mossie.  And not forgetting the cavalier Mustang and latest buttons. 

Hope this helps.

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

[SAS~Malone]

thanks, I'll see if i can spot any potential issues...meantime, i'm dealing with a new problem for today, see my 70% thread. it never rains, but it pours....

[Mission_bug]

Have you noticed with this thing that it only crashes once the engines are up to speed. ???

Things seen fine until then.

That 70% problem you're having is really strange isn't it.   That usually indicates something missing from the ships or air.ini. 
I definately think Brandy is the solution, once you're through the bottle all will probably become very clear. 

Wishing you all the very best, Pete.

[SAS~Malone]

yeah, i've been looking at it closely, and it's not actually an 'engine start' crash - some of the AI planes already have engines started....just somewhere along the process, it just goes boom....
yeah, that old 70% thing is a real freakout for me....it happened to me about a year ago, same thing; no changes made, it just decided to one day crash at 70%.
no-one could help then, and i doubt they can now....
it upsets me no end...i don't mind starting a new version from scratch, i just don't like NOT KNOWING what the hell causes it to happen in the first place....

I'm not sure if you tried this m8, but I had the very same problem as you - Sea Mossie install, a map or two and a few other things. Uninstall all of the above and it was still the same so searching through the forum here I found this:

1GB il2fb

Installed (with the added goodies above) and it works fine.
