Summer Race Event 2016 - Vietnam Jets

Thanks for creating the event. I thought I did, but clearly I didn't. I have CRS you know...
 
NOTAM: It should be noted that the Duenna will not bust you for speeding unless you exceed M1.05. Sort of a "buffer", like the highway patrol gives you... Mach penalties are awarded only if Duenna rats you out...
 
I seem to be having an issue with VVNT. If I try to fly or spawn into there, I'm getting a Crash to Desktop. That's both with the Vietnam War scenery on and with it turned off. I'm still investigating, but I'm a bit worried that I won't be able to complete the event because of this issue.
 
Darn Willy, sure hope you find the problem. I haven't had that occurred as yet, and I sure hope I don't.
 
Got it sorted. Had to turn off the Vietnam War scenery and try it a couple of times before it quit crashing... Past VVNT now and headed for Saigon
 
I can't imagine what it could be. I have that scenery package, and didn't have that problem at any of the airports. Maybe the F-11 has a smaller crash-box? Maybe I just landed off to one side? I don't know...
Pat☺
 
I left it turned off and it did it again in a late night test flight (VVNT to VVTS) in the Virtavia F4D Skyray.
 
I left it turned off and it did it again in a late night test flight (VVNT to VVTS) in the Virtavia F4D Skyray with all the extra stuff running in the background turned off. Got a few ideas to try this morning
 
Well, it seems that my FSX install apparently has the Saigon area as a "no fly zone". I've tried various aircraft both with and without add on scenery and when I start getting near Saigon, it crashes to desktop. It does the same if I start a flight there. A this point, I just can't finish the race. So, I'm gonna hop in my whatchachopper and just fly around for the rest of the event while avoiding Saigon.
 
That's really strange Willy. I've been trying to duplicate this, but no luck yet.
 
I'm thinking it's likely a FSX SE thing. Either that or the anti aircraft gunners have gotten really really good.
