1. Launch the game normally. Doesn't matter if you use windowed or -nobenchmark or not.
2. Start a night time mission. I personally prefer the Headhunters as it can be played in multiplayer. [Minor Spoiler Alert] The second mission of the campaign episode "Adapt" which also is a night time mission works fine as well.
3. (If playing Headhunters) 5-10 minutes into the mission, by the time you've got to the first enemy officer, the OpFor Ifrit GMG shows up and your squads AT soldier (hopefully) blows it up, it should've crashed already or will in the next 2 minutes.
OR
Load Ballistic's Altis Sandbox, change the time of day to night using the laptop near the spawn and then proceed to try your luck flying a helicopter without crashing it or the graphics driver.
I never succeed in the latter.
OR
In the campaign episode "Adapt" (the second, night time mission) the crash occurred after the AAF Checkpoint, when I entered the town and was about 50-100m away from the point I was supposed to drive to.
I've put a screenshot of the scene right before the crash in the attached rar file. I doubt it's helpful but who knows?
However, simply creating a new mission with the mission editor, changing it to night time and driving around in a Hunter apparently is not enough.
