Yesterday I installed DX8.1; I got a 10-15 FPS boost and I had no dificulties other than having to delete my video.cfg file and reaquainting my joystick with the OS...
...or so I thought. First time in combat I pull back on the stick and a large black blob appears in the center of my screen. This blob decreases in size as I pull more G's until the screen goes black with full blackout. Its the inverse of the normal blackout.
Is there a solution?
