rgr. I think my old computer or graghics card may have had a fan issue. Just burned. I guess I am still suffering from "gamer's PTSD". As an aside, if you look at my specs in my first post, any reason i couldn't go on World of Tanks?

My Nvidia (,which has been set as the default graphics card) has both. I'm not worried about the graphics. I wonder about whether or not the quad core or more specifically one of the core's is being over stressed by the game engine. My old Dell XPS 410 dual core ran fine with this game.

Thanks. You may laugh but I went through two graphics cards. The stock GeForce on the Dell and an upgraded one that I replaced it with and eventually transferred to this computer. I was getting glowing green vertical lines and blue screens in my sleep! Finally I upgraded further on this machine at the suggestion of the local Geek Squad and have had no problems except for the slight lag in IL-2 (small fraction of a second) that I did not get with my less powerful Dell. You ease this air combat addict's mind and conscience considerably :sohappy:

Am I frying my processor though?

I have a HP Pavilion with a AMD A6-3620 Quad core, 8 GB DDR 3, AMD Radeon HD 65300 BUT with a Nvidia GeForce GT520 (2 GB of DDR3) as an add on Dedicated graghics card. Previously, I had a DeLL XPS 410 with a Geforce 8600 graghics card, which I somehow fried not only the card but the PCI graphics port. I am a little "gun shy" now. Even with the power of the new computer. My default graghics is to the GT520 but I am actually seeing a slight lag in IL-2 Sturmovic in three instances: with radio calls and text, explosions and clouds. Am I over stressing the Quadcore somehow or am I over stressing myself here. Please give me some insight on the matter. If not now, when should I be concerned. P.S. I have done nothing crazy like changing clock speed or anything like that.

How do I get this file deleted? My 1.2 version is the same thing but with corrections made.

File Name: Czech "Post-War IL-2 Type 3" Avia B-31 "Green" File Submitter: Twizard File Submitted: 21 November 2011 File Category: IL2 Skins This is a Czech livery for the IL-2 Type 3. Their designation for the plane was B-31, the B-33 being the IL-10. This gives you the realistically plausible opportunity to pit Sturmovik against Sturmovik in the late 1940s. Unzip and place the contents in your Il-2_3 file. Do not choose USSR as the country, even with marking turned off because it may cover the spinner in red. Click here to download this file
