Have just updated everything -- thank you Mr Gates -- after a windows crash and reformat.

I've had the same problem a few times.  Either when hitting the Z to zoom in on a target and line up or diving into a furball (or out the other side of one).  Not every time, and I cant reproduce it with similar circumstances regularly.  The last 3 times it has happened, I noticed that if I let it go, the sounds would go from normal (but still frozen screen), to a superfast loop, then will come out of it and the game function normally.  I have noticed also (might be related) that since the new version I have been getting connection drops with no noticeable problems on a route trace.  Sometimes I cant even log in (game cant find a connection), but relogging fixes it.  This happened after each update (ver. 2.02 and patch 1), and 3 other random times.

It's a longshot, but it MIGHT be a skin issue.  Happened to me all the time, seems to be a problem with a skin becoming corrupt.  The solution is to delete the folder of the problem plane from the cache folder.
