Lock up with vehicles towing trailers/guns/etc

I normally fly either a Hurricane or a Spit and when attacking vehicle columns the game will lock up, usually on the second pass, as soon as I start firing, i.e. no explosions, just the tracers leaving the guns.

I just changed the FMB mission to a 109 strafing a couple of Brit fuel columns, got spectacular explosions (flew straight through them) and did numerous passes without a lock up.

I just tried the 109 on the same column the Brit planes lock up the computer. I got several passes in including huge fuel explosions but eventually got the lock up again. On each occasion there is a huge memory spike and I think it may have something to do with vehicles towing trailers????

Also mirrors are still a physcadelic mess.

Still losing sound occasionally.

Still being asked if I would like to drop out of Aero.

AND THE LIKELY CAUSE IS:

It looks like the vehicles towing either trailers or guns was the culprit. I deleted those columns in the various missions and substituted them with fuel columns. Huge explosions to fly through (with the Hurricane) and not a lockup to be had.

I have lost approx 10fps since last patch/hotfix?

I know this ammount isn't great in the grand scheme of things, but when you average approx 35/40fps over land pre-patch it has a huge effect,
meaning I have had to turn shadows off to play.

Also getting the end mission/esc CTD's requiring taskmanager exit

Yes, anytime I fly into a cloud the whole screen flashes like a strobe light. Only started doing this after the hot fix with the improved propeller visuals.

It did this in the last beta patches and in v 1.01.14550 aswel, know for sure my system did suffer from it before the hotfix so doubt it's related to the propeller.

Since the recent patch, German aircraft have pitch controls reversed ... so the Decrease Pitch command actually increases pitch in German aircraft and vice versa.

Runway lights work but they show through solid objects. So you can see them through your wings and such.

Lighhouse cannot be made to produce light even with generator and ai power.

sim appears to be smooth and not much change FPS wise (mirrors on/ off, textures, tree/ building detail/ amount, grass on/ off, etc, etc) when above 500ft (at least when zipping around in the QM england free flight mission) stuttering and fps drop seem to occur under 500ft regardless of terrain altitude

No matter what cloud type you choose in " Local Weather" ie. Cumulus, or Overcast - Thunder clouds are all you get in game.
The other functions within " local weather " appear to work

local weather? where this be??

Serverlist seems to only look at the first digit when sorting on amount of players.
Fe. 19 is smaller than 2, 47 is smaller than 6 etc.

Also experienced the soundbug for the first time today, happened in multiplayer on the repka 1 server. Logged in without sound ,then it came back for a few minutes only to disappear a short while later. Returned the instant I left MP.
Sound set to ambisonic all through.
