I have never in 20 years of gaming ever purchased a product that was so bad out of the box in terms of bugs and completely unfinished features.

While you wait Tree. I know you build and have built a top end system to fly. Could you humor me and install COD and your flight peripherals on a separate SSD with its own Windows 7 64bit OS. You might not want to spend another dollar on COD, but I never have CTD's with this setup. The only draw back is you have to reboot to that particular OS when you want to fly COD, but the reboot is very quick, and the sim load times are awesome.

Hi Chivas, this is something i would like to try actually and could possibly be the reason why you are not suffering the same CTD's as the majority. It would be intersting to see if it works but I wouldn't consider it to be a fix, I was rather hoping that maybe one of the Dev team might pick up on this and actually try it to see if it could lead to a fix. However, Luthier did tell us that the CTD was caused by thier graphics engine and if he is to be believed then i cannot see how a seperate SSd drive would resolve that. That said, it is very hard to pin anything on what Luthier does say these days, its normally rash statements which are followed by backtracks or silence.

I agree its quite likely the graphic engine, and I'm not a computer tech, and don't know how much data can be loaded into the memory and how much it has to retrieve from the hard drive. If it has to retrieve data from the harddrive on the fly, then an SSD could help quite a bit.

edit... Another factor in not having CTD's could be that I have a very fast internet connection. Hopefully optimizations will make most of this unnecessary.

You are right. Several people reported that reinstall to a separate disk helped here http://translate.google.com/translat...hp%3Ft%3D73504
OP installed system and CloD on separate HDDs though, took care of temperatures 9both CPU below 51 and GPU below 70 degrees), increased RAM to 16GB, cleans windows Temp/Tmp folder regularly, runs BoostSpeedPortable before playing. No launcher crashes since reinstall. At least 2 others replied that it helped them too.
