I have been playing SF2 Europe for quite a while without many issues - the odd black lines going across the airbases which is probably to do with the Germany tiles, airbases or Sarcasm mods.

But yesterday I installed the Expansion Pack 2 for the Lightnings and now when I fly a Lightning (too early to say if it happens to the Hunters etc as well) once I am airborne I start getting graphics artifacts - the plane panels flashing etc. Yesterday my whole plane came apart and the engine appeared a few yards way from the plane. Today my cockpit seemed to get stuck so it appeared in all my panned views even when looking behind me and seems to go off centre so I was flying at an angle which was well weird looking!

Has anyone else experience this at all with the Lightnings?

No, not at all. That's a new one on me, though I do remember reading something about the issue with the tiles. Have you asked over at Combat Ace?

You on a recent NVIDIA Driver?, Windows 10 ?

I had similar issues recently using Windows 7, apparently it is introduced with the latest Nvidia drivers. On Combatace you can download the older 353.30 drivers, specifically to fix this problem. That worked for me.


Undercarriage lever a bit sticky was it, Sir?

The black lines across the airbases is probably the shadow bug with pit1, there is a replacement lod for it or you can just stop it from casting shadows .

Thanks for that I have create a new Lod1 file so we will see if that fixes those lines.

Ive actually downloaded a new graphics driver today and since then my last mission in a Lightning went flawlessly - no blinking textures or anything so hopefully thats fixed as well.
