Updated the AMD graphics drivers for my 7990 and I lost all of my external friendly/enemy views.

Anyone else experience this?

I've never had that happen. Are you sure you didn't accidentally reset ROF to defaults? Or have a input profile switch once in game?

First off, thanks for answering-you always give it a shot!

OK, I had actually retreated a driver set because the newest Catalyst driver was causing terrible flashing of the clouds. Went back to the previous driver (which worked perfectly but I can't help going for the latest and greatest!) and pulled up a quick mission to see if it fixed the problem.

It did fix the cloud/flashing issue but none of my previous "view" settings worked. Had a thought (yeah, scary) and started up the current mission I was flying in campaign and sure enough, everything was as before. Question-why don't the external view settings from the campaign work in the quick missions? I was flying a Pfalz XII during both attempts so I hadn't changed aircraft...

Edit: Just tried it again and my setup is good in campaign and doesn't work with any "external" views in quick mission. I went into options and made sure that the same "setup" was being used and it appears it is....

Fixed it-apparently enable spectators was reset here as well with the last update.

Ahhhhhh, yeah that external spectators option I forgot about! Good show, glad it's sorted. So to recap, it was the ROF update and not the driver update that set external spectators back to off.
