I went thru many of the same problems/fixes, and slowly got the sim to function, at least for part of a mission. At the time, my system was a Core 2 Quad Q9550 2.83GHz, with 4GB DDR2 RAM, and an NVidia 9500GT video card w/1GB, operating Windows Vista w/SP 2.

So, I upgraded my system some... I changed to a stronger power supply (850W), changed to an NVidia GTX 580 w/1.5GB, and doubled my RAM to 8GB.

Now, I can fly two complete missions, but start to see some stuttering as I land at the end of the 2nd mission, and when I'm done, and hit ESC, the sim drops me back to my desktop. If I hit ESC again, I'm back in the cockpit. Hit ESC a 3rd time, and I'm back to my desktop, and the sim fails to respond, and I have to use Task Manager to end the program.

There's not much more that I can do to my system, that I know of. I'm new to the world of "overclocking" stuff (i.e. I don't know squat about overclocking... LOL).

Anyone have any thoughts on how to make this sim work a bit longer, without the freeze-up after two missions?

Thanks,

Ed
