I was practically born in AH. Aboard a B-17.....I'm that old. WW2 wuz on when I was a'borned. I love this sim.
The cpu is an Ath 2400 @ 2600. Latest cat drivers. I went back to an earlier version and problem went away for awhile, then reappeared. Reinstalled latest drivers (softmodded). Haven't tried rolling back cpu and video card.
The VC is a sapphire radeo 9500np that successfully softmodded to an 8 pipeline 9700. This all worked just fine until the last few months. The cpu rarely goes aboove 52 deg C. The video fan seems to be running. W or w/o the firewall, antivirus or vertex on or off. I turned off AA and AF, but bumped up my rez to 1600x1200. I'm going to upgrade to WinXP soon, then hoped to do the trackIR thinghy, but now I'm wondering...
Sometimes it will run fine , or just freeze up at the tower or during flt. Requires a hard reboot. I know, it could be anything.. I reinstalled AH2. I'm checking offline vs online. Cheers, ''aimless'
Here's my DXDiag:
