After a fly with mids and Mako last night, I happened across a vid (can't remember who's, but he seems to know his stuff) demonstrating some scenic control changes in DCS since 2.7.
Thought I'd tinker a bit with SSLR and SSAO (in DCS edit area) and others if it seemed viable to improve quality or FR. Started with the 2 above, and immediately, the game crashed every time I went into a mission.
As such, I turned them both off, yet still the one mission (my small test mission) I'd used to test this stuff, continued to crash on start-up. Others missions not started when the 2 were switched on were fine, so I deleted my test mission, and I've not seen any other issue as yet. Thus, be warned if you activate the 2 above you may end up corrupting something. I don't know if was 'permanent' damage, but even restating the game didn't stop the crashes. As stated, all other missions appear fine that weren't used when SSLR and SSAO were tried.
Gonna pop over to ED's forums and see if anyone else has seen this.
