Im getting the sound issue. On the Syndicate Server several people with the sound problem said they had Realtek drivers/ onboard sound. No idea if there is a link, im not that techie.
No Idea about the spawn points. Have you tried checking the integrity of your cache in Steam? Perhaps you have a problem and that might help . If it reports any errors it will repair them.
And hopefully they will get the 109 prop lever to move the correct way.... I like that they have made it more realistic, it just needs fixing.
Oh, And I wouldn't bother feeding the trolls if i where you, waste of oxygen the lot of 'em!
