Fun note: Just yesterday jumped into stock F4 with patch 1.08 again, and yep, CTD on the second campaign mission. Was a great mission though. Low altitude BDA of an enemy AD site located at Miram Airbase (sp?), met up with the Strikers from a different squadron, fought our way in against MiG-29s (me and my wingman played escort for the strikers in lieu of a dedicated one), then went low alt over the target when getting low on fuel and with the whole thing ending up in a huge air battle, couldn't see any damage though, not sure if the Strikers ever hit anything, then went out full AB at low alt with GMT engaged to avoid troop concentrations, with MiGs pursuing, and just when I got clear and regained altitude over friendly territory to save fuel on my way home, CTD.

I sure am glad for "hackers".
