Ivan I am seeing those flickerings also on most planes as shown on Inadaze video.

GeForce 8800 GT 512m using 169.21 drivers on 22" flat panel monitor.

Urufu,

I tried re-d/l but same thing. I have two versions, 1 with mods for offline and 1 without for online - the beta doesn't work on either. I also just tried overwriting the dlls you suggested.

Same deal :(

I remember back quite awhile ago, when I was running an AMD system, we were advised to take the il2.core.dll and copy it to documents and rename it to il2.core4.dll and replace the core4.dll in your IL2 folder, I always did that on my AMD FX53 system and the game ran great. I remember faintly that the core4 dll had something to do with Intel systems. You can try this, I tried it on my system I'm using now which is an Intel system and did not notice any problems, of course I put it back to the original. Back up the original il2.core4.dll and try it. It can't hurt.

New DLLS are great
 

I have had no problems with the new DLL's. It could just be for High end systems.

thanks for the help guys but I think I might wait for the proper patch to come out - enjoy all the new goodies for me in the meantime :-)

One of my squad mates mates cant even get his sim to run after patching. Im assuming the DLL's are the issue. He does not have a very high end computer either.

definitely something up with Bartons I reckon. tried it with my backup machine, same again.

LOL, no guts, no Air Medal 8)

The only problem I seem to be having with these dll's (CsThorsas the stock 4.09Beta wouldn't let me start the sim.) is sound related. A problem I've never had up until 4.09. I'll be flying along and "intermittently" the sim will lock up. The sounds I hear during the lock up will be like this. It will “ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha---hang up. (If you get my drift) and then, if I haven't flown into the ground, the sim will start up again. This lasts anywhere from 1 to 4 seconds and once I had to reboot to get out of the sim. Other than this, FB runs great. Thanks 1c!

I'm having the same problems as Falke, who posted right before me.

At first I thought my video card was going, but when I play 4.08, I have no problems.

When I go into the FMB and work on my Slovakia missions (4.09), I get lock-ups. The first time or two the screen will freeze for a short time (less than 30 seconds). After that it usually freezes for good and I have to reboot.

I'm going to try some earlier dll's to see if it helps.
