I'm having the same issue, in that left works fine (RAlt-Home), but right doesn't(RShift-Home). It's not my RShift key as other commands that use RShift work. I tried temporarily mapping RAlt-Home to do the right detent, and that did work?! So that's my current workaround - Change the mapping to right detent to RAlt-Home, start the right engine, then change the left detent mapping back to RAlt-Home and start the left engine. Bit of a pain!

Thanks for responses all. Think I may have got to the bottom of it. Checked with the graphics card tech support and they said this was probably a result of either cooling, or power related issues. Consequently I've bought a more powerful PSU and cleaned up the graphics card fan as best I can. Been playing for a week and it hasn't crashed on me yet. Strange that it hasn't happened on other games on this PC before. I guess they never really pushed my card as much as BS does.

Hm yeah tried that. Started out on geForce driver 180.84 beta when i got the game. Tried cleaning and updating to 181.22, still crashed. Went back to 180.84, still crashed. Even tried going back to 178.24 but no luck. Fairly sure my cards not broken, I've had it from new and havne't had any problems with it till now really. Pretty much means I can't play the sim at the moment, which is not good!

Thanks for the reply. I'd tried uninstalling and reinstalling new drivers but hadn't tried driver cleaner. I did that and seemed ok for a while, but then it crashed in the same way so the problems still there. Any other suggestions I could try?

Hello Had the game a few days now and I've experience quite a few crashes. I went through most of the training misisons and had it crash during only one of them i think. I then did a few of the single missions and it crashed a couple of times during them. I then started to do the campaign (the 1st one in the list) but can not get past the first fam flight, as it has crashed everytime I have flown it ~10 times! It varies how long before crashing, sometimes its after about 5or10 minutes flight, sometimes its longer, after say 20 or so, and just now it has crashed just before coming in to land at the end. The crash itself begins with a quick flicker of the screen, and then everything freezes. No matter what key combos I press, I can't get it off the frozen screen, back to windows etc. After about half a minute or so it goes to a black screen with a cursor flashing in the top left. Sometimes a message will come up saying about nv4_display driver I think it says. but this doesn't come up everytime. I have tried lowering the settings, but my machine isn't struggling up until this point, and it will happen at random times, even in level flight without looking around or doing anything out of the ordinary. I've also updated my video drivers to the latest ones. My PC specs: AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4600+ (2.41GHz) 2GB RAM NVidia 8600 GT Windows XP Pro SP3 (32bit) Creative SB Audigy sound card Single monitor I've attached 3 of the .crash files. Please help! thanks DCS-20090127-201556.txt DCS-20090128-225359.txt DCS-20090129-201720.txt
