Title: Film Viewer crash on a certain .ahf file - repeatable
Post by: BoilerDown on August 09, 2010, 04:01:45 PM: I don't often review my films like I probably should, so I don't know if this is common, but I saved a film yesterday from a flight in the MAs. I rather spectacularly avoided crashing after getting my tail half-blown off with an upside-down negative G "pushup" that I really wanted to see how close my cockpit came to hitting the ground and then seconds later from hitting the trees.

So when I go to review the film, the Film Viewer crashes with a Dr. Watson's at 13:09 every time. If I try to bypass that time and go directly to a time well past 13:09, it still crashes.

Here is the film in question: http://www.mediafire.com/file/vpbvopccillu3l7/SickSaveFromCrash.ahf

Anything I can do to get it to work? Is this a known bug or a bug just for me?

Thanks!

Post by: BoilerDown on August 13, 2010, 10:45:20 AM: Alright thanks for the info.

Edit: Wait does that mean if I wait for a new version of the film viewer, the film might be viewable past the breaking point?
