OK, got it, although, I'll have to test it later, since I've use up this months data allowance already. Fricking wireless ISP data limits. Thanks Distiler, I must be going blind, I didn't even notice the download button. I just opened training, pressed start, saw the error, and thought I had a bad install.

I tried starting as administrator, and I get the same error message. I'm thinking that the error message results because there are no training files when I press start. You don't get the same error message? Sorry for making you post that explanation of the difference between logging on as administrator and starting as administrator. I should have read more carefully.

I'm always logged in as administrator.

I installed to the default path, but on the "D" drive: D:\Program Files (x86)\Eagle Dynamics\LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2. Black Shark is located in the same Eagle Dynamics folder. This is the only problem I am having with the game. Considering there are no training files in the training section. I wouldn't really call it a problem. I absoulutely love the new upgrade. It is well worth the money. I can't say enough about it - Just fantastic! - Keep the DCS series coming! - I'll buy every new model you introduce. I'd like to see some tank models in the works (T90C).

I just downloaded, and installed flaming cliffs 2. Their seems to be a problem with the training section. I am getting an error message when I click the training button. the game seems to run fine except for the training section. I reinstalled BlackShark, but have not reinstalled Flaming cliffs 2 yet. I have included an image of the error message, and a dxdiag of my rig. DxDiag.txt

OK, my problem is resolved. When building my system I used 2 x 6GB kits of RAM. I have replaced the RAM with a Corsair Dominator 12GB kit. No freezes or stuttering. Thanks for all the input guys

When I disable the sound card the game won't launch. I've tried Xonar DX2, Realtek on board sound, and I have X-FI Fatality 1. I've tried all 3.

I set water to zero, and it didn't seem to make much difference.

OK, I feel like a total idiot, but I can't figure out how to edit the Options.Lua file to set water to zero. I opened it notepad, but wouldn't allow me to save. Before I reinstalled my OS I replaced my sound card with X-Fi Fatality 1 card. It didn't fix the problem.

So this is normal behavior for DCS on all systems? If so are we waiting for multi-core support from DCS?

I haven't installed anti-virus yet.

I guessing you mean Audio Video Package, but how do you turn this off?

My freezing and stuttering happens no matter what resolution or detail settings are on. I changed out the graphics card, and still had the same problem. I ran Western Digital Lifeguard tests on the WD drives they are fine. I found that by mistake I have my SATA drives installed as IDE instead of AHCI. I guess I'm going to have to reinstall the OS again to fix it. Could having my SATA drive set to IDE instead AHCI be causing my problem? I did have an interesting thing come up when I ran benchmarks in Si Soft Sandra. Under tips it said: "cannot use large memory pages due to lack of privileges" So I did a Google search and found this article:http://www.tipandtrick.net/2008/enable-lock-pages-in-memory-to-prevent-database-paging-to-disk/ I changed the settings,and locked pages to memory. It really seemed to impove my system performance, but didn't fix the problem.

OK, I've done it, my first OC! I've got it overclocked to 3.19. I just want to be conservative about OCing until I get a good CPU fan. I've run Ka-50, and am still encountering the same problem.

Well when there is a lot of activity like engagements with the enemy and crashes.
