I'm glad to hear your issue was narrowed down. Without the Saitek drivers you should still be able to use the joystick, but you may have luck re-installing the drivers and see if it still works, but there was a thread that mentions the need to delete a few registry keys which should allow the joystick to work as normal. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=71506 Check out that thread and see if that fully solves it for you. Make sure to backup any registry keys before deleting as a good precaution.

I know you said you've tried just about every fix listed on the forums, but just by chance did you try right clicking the shortcut and running as administrator? It also looks like it's having issues when setting an input and/or forcefeedback device, so I would unplug any and all joysticks, driving wheels, rudder pedals etc and see if it still crashes; a friend's PC had a similar crashing issue with his driving wheel plugged in. And if your Joystick is a Saitek also remove the Saitek drivers as well and see if it still crashes. Another possibility might be a RAM issue, Win 8 has a built in memtest you can run, hit your windows key and type 'memory' and the 'Windows Memory Diagnostic' should be first listed. It'll ask you to restart and let it run before windows, once it opens it defaults to a 2 pass quick test, but if you hit F10 you can change the test to "extended" and set passes to 0 to loop and run it overnight. Also, in the future before you reformat with Win 8/8.1 you can open up cmd prompt and type: "DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth" (without quotes) Which works 100x better than "SFC /scannow". I've had a few times where this solved issues where normally I would have to reformat. If it says store corruption was found instead of the "/ScanHealth" flag use "/RestoreHealth" to repair. The only reason I recommend using "/ScanHealth" first is that "/RestoreHealth" always reports that the corruption was repaired even if there was no corruption, unless of course there was an error. It actually will compare your system files to the online database from Microsoft and download any damaged/corrupt files.

Thanks for replying Echo, although I have to say that you misunderstood what I was trying to say, I agree with your standpoint, I was saying on cameras tracers generally appear like lasers, not in person with the human eye.

None taken at all, I was not intending to sound like I'm an expert (I'm by no means no expert nor have I fired live tracer rounds, I was going off information given to me by relatives with first hand combat experience) and I really was asking what makes him think they're currently unrealistic. I never saw that other thread that clarified he actually has witnessed tracers in person, but it answers my questions. Thank you for the info! Edit: Although I have to add regarding Echo's comment, .50 API ammunition should flash very brightly upon impact and I believe by the time the P-51D was flying their ammo belt load outs were mostly API. However I completely agree that the current hit effect that appears to be a large explosion that looks like small bombs going off should be changed. Edit Edit: And Ratfink I have to agree with you that firing the guns causes an FPS drop, although I am running on max settings. I have not yet tested if it is related to high MSAA setting. My Rig: i5-2500k @ 4.5 / AMD 6950 (1536 shaders) @ 915/1325 / 8GB G.Skill DDR3-1866 CAS 9 / Patriot Inferno 60GB SSD / Seasonic X-750W Gold PSU / M-Audio ProFire 610

What makes you so sure that they are less realistic now? Have you fired live tracer rounds before? You have to keep in mind in filming, cameras have shutter times, and when you have a bullet traveling from 2800-3000fps, tracers are going to always appear to be bright lasers instead of a bright point followed by a slightly less bright path.

Hey Rock, these skins are beautiful! My only issue is that Geraldine link does not seem to be working, is it just me?

Yes that's the one, thank you so much!

Hi everyone, I was just curious if anyone had a copy of the original P-51D Background. I like the new one, but I really like the old one and would love to have a copy. Thanks!
