Yes I have. I've also uninstalled AH, re-downloaded and re-installed. I unload the sidewinder software before I start AH. I haven't had any hardware changes since I uninstalled the last version of AH (final beta/first release timeframe) that I was running previous to installing 1012. My sound, video, joystick drivers and DirectX are all the same versions I was running too.
The problem happens a lot more often if I am in auto-pilot, just flying along and next thing I know I'm in an un-recoverable spin. I thought I had narrowed it down to just occuring during autopilot flight but I did have it happen a few times when flying without autopilot, flying straight and level and then instantly into a wild spin. I did notice that when it happens my framerate drops from about 40fps down to around 5fps and my stick seems starts shaking as if I'm getting a lot of input to the stick.
My harddrive is not running when this happens, I've closed down everything I can before I start AH. I don't run fastfind or any other crap like that so I don't think it's coming from another program.
It's really got me baffled, like I said in my first post, everything ran great throughout all the beta versions that I ran.
