In terms of the freezing up, can you detail the install process you used and patch order?
Well, if you about an installing the game, I installed the game from CD, I installed patch 1.23, and recently I nistalled 0.85f, I heard that there is an utility for a keyboard configuration, but I didnt find it.
When my plane is flying at low altitude, FPS becomes rather slow enough to run with jerking, especially it shows up when I press ctrl num- to change my fov and the cockpit is going away from me.
Crashes happens usually when I play any campaign, especially when no compability mode is checked, or checked win7 or win 2000, and sometimes win xp, It crashes suddenly sometimes when I press map mode or when I press look back or something else.
