The same developer has similar freeware for gathering application crash log files. Might be good for troubleshooting the .exe crashes. I am going to give both of these try so I can get more history on these crashes. http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/app_crash_view.html(That's why high end gaming computer is a hobby machine and not an appliance. My best investment was a kvm switcher with a shared monitor and keyboard. I have the Corolla Family Computer and the Corvette Gaming Computer. Only have two games, Il2 and ROF on the Gaming Computer and I'm the only one that touches it. If I have to tinker with it, I can still paybills and send email on the family machine....so let the tinkering begin!)

Using 280.26 drivers here Geezer mate, with no problems thus far on a GTX580. Mind you, only maybe 2 hrs or so play in ROF in the last month, haven't been doing too much simming at all recently as I'm going through 'sim burnout' which happens periodically lol. I get bored easily and a break is often a good thing....I'm sure I'll miss the virtual skies though and come back. Always do. Do you usually do a 'clean install'? I find this is a good idea and can save possible grief down the line. You can do this now through the NV driver installer itself if you choose the 'custom' install option; you then get a clean install option which AFAIK does the same job as 3rd party programs like Guru3d's 'driver sweeper' etc. Note that one disadvantage of this is that it will reset your custom profiles, (perhaps there is a way to back up/save them manually...though I'm unsure). No big deal if you can remember or just note them down prior to the clean install. For AA settings I use 'override any application setting' at 8x (forget 8xCSAA, ROF doesn't like it) paired with 2x Sparse grid supersampling using Nvidia Inspector. 'Trilinear optimisation' etc off. I find this gives excellent results, particularly if you have a 'shimmering' problem. Less of a hit than the in game 'supersampling' option too. AF I leave application controlled. Mileage may vary of course, but it works for me. Cheers.

I also have a GTX 580 and just tried these settings and agree they work great. I never had good results overriding the AA setting before; it always worked best to set AA via the ROF menu. Don't know if it's the new 280.26 driver or the new 1.021 update, but overriding seems to work much better now. I also can reduce SS from 4xSGSS to 2xSGSS and get the same effect. No shimmers, even on wires, and very strong FPS. Thanks for the heads up.

Regarding the driver install, yes I selected a "clean" install Regarding possible overheat issues, yes I was running a hardware monitor and my old graphics card the GTX 260 with a factory overclock did run hot, found I was getting some black screens and recoveries at that time, started playing with the computer case left open. New card runs much cooler. Reinstall or repair of the OS is not a bad idea. Not a big fan of repair, might do a reinstall if I get annoyed enough. Here is the application log, sorted by rof.exe..a trail of tears eh? ....the majority of them are the fault module MSCVR80.dll. Typically is happening once per mission, so you see two or three a night depending on what we are running. The new graphics card was installed in august, so the number of events has reduced with the new card. My initial research on the fault module is that it relates to the Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 from Microsoft Corporation. It is the Microsoft C Runtime Library and is used by programs written with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005
