Downloaded Jarvis. I can launch and fly the capsule, no problem.
I tested some more and crashes seem to happen when switching between external/internal views. I use D3D9.

Fantastic job. Have always been a fan of Antares and of the excellent FOI addons. The diminutive Neptune has long been a favorite of mine too. I did, however, run into a couple of odd issues:

1) When launching the scenario the Nobile launch scenario using the Neptune rocket (also same issue with the Neptune's own scenarios), Orbiter CTDs right after the "Mach 1" callout and the sonic boom sound.

2) When I start the Starlab launch scenario or any of the others that use that same launch vehicle, the fairing is missing and so is the payload. The rocket core stage and boosters appear on the pad but no payload or fairing.

The Antares scenarios themselves work great. Love the new VC.

Thanks Mantis for your nice words!
I suggest to download all required launch vehicles (Jarvis, Neptune, Quasar) BEFORE dowloading Antares 3.0 again. These rockets have been updated many times and you could have some old version installed.

For instance: Neptune CTD right after sonic boom suggests me that some phantom meshes K_jameson (Neptune's creator) inserted to perform some realistic features are mssing.. just an idea of mine..

Try to download it all again and let me know!

The custom fairings are missing from the package:

Quasar_452_Starlab_Red_Antares.ini

[FAIRING]
N=2
MeshName="Quasar\Qfairing452-starlab"
Diameter=11.3
Height=40
angle=0
off=(2.821,0,87.385)
emptymass=6810
SPEED=(4.600,0.000,0.000)
ROT_SPEED=(0.000,-0.300,0.000)

@Fausto: Can you please check the package for this missing meshes?

Thank you :)

Good job on fixing the missing textures! I can now see the whole vehicle but I did notice two things:

1) The crash that occurs right after the "Mach 1" callout on the Neptune also happens at precisely the same time during any of the Quasar launches. It completely CTDs Orbiter and there are no log entries. I have tried it with both the stock program and with the D3D client and the result is the same.

2) On the launch pad, during the countdown for any of the Quasar launches, various swing arms and things retract. One of them (on the right side of the vehicle) seems to swing "the wrong way" and ends up floating in front of the rocket. The lights and things on it swing the correct way and end up floating in space. There are some other artifacts generated at the base of the rocket too right at the moment of launch.

No problem at all with any of the Antares capsule stuff though - marvelous job.

What does the orbiter.log say?
