Screen freeze in both 32 & 501 squadron campaigns

[jamesdietz]

Slightly OT:I just got a new graphics card which runs a greatly improved game with very high settings,which is...all good...but recently have run into freezes with the log flights to fight found on some of the missions in these two campaigns.Both times they happened just as long flights from the London area reached the coast and enemy was about to appear.Both times my plane was on auto pilot & on 8X speed.at just about the time my plane got to the coast , the screen froze,as if caught mid spawning of German planes , but I can't be sure.
Both flights take a very long time to go from London to the coast& increasinf the Xspeed makes for a jerkiy & really not that quick of a decrease in time from regular speed.I'm assuming the PC has an awful lot to process on these journeys(?)
So what's the answer-drop the campaign? Go on to next mission? Decrease the settings? I wish my aerdrome was a bit closer to the Coast -it sure would save some time , but it would decrease realism factor...sigh....
