Major League BLACK SCREEN Bug

[whopper2]

I normally fly regular screen until HI alt and over NME territory for cons in bombers then I go low gamma.

Last night it goes +flip+ into a black screen BOOM like that.  No warning.  I cant see jack and the whole screen is 95% black except for some slight and VERY slight view of clipboard and NO vis of mouse pointer and even when game alt+F4 he screen is still almost all black and almost NO vis of desktop icon.  I have to manually turn off computer to reboot.

WTF??????????????

I cannot play game and game is all black screen 95% and I cannot see anything or remotely play....almost all black screen.

Please help.  Each hour goes by I am wasting money on a game I cannot play.

It says "ACES         HIGH"   at the bottom in GI spraypaint and all else is black and it goes to Windows error report.

It will not allow me to play the game at all.

It will not let me in.

I re-booted 4 times.

Same result.

Delete video8.cfg file in the settings folder and restart the game. This will reset the video settings to default again. And stop messing around with the gamma settings
