figured it out *I think*.  For some reason it reverted to an older account name/pass I used to use after patching.   Anyway I updated that and tried to log into the training arena (only one that appears to be open), it starts downloading  the map then as it finishes I get punted out to the start screen clipboard.   So still no success at logging in.

Manually downloading the update is faster than the auto-update.  Came home for lunch, fired up the game for the auto-upater to patch the game and had a 20 minute wait.  Stopped it and used the manual download link and downloaded the update in less than 3 minutes.

Thanks for the new release HTC!

I'm experiencing heavy stuttering and pauses with other planes around, something that I didn't experience with the beta. While I did have stutters in the beta, they weren't anything like they are now. Disabling detailed terrain didn't really cure this problem, but it might have lessened it to a degree. It looks like one cause might be tracers/firing guns, either own or someone elses. Reading the Ch200 it seemed others were experiencing similar issues aswell.
