i agree with the carrier ops...and a vietnam campaign too. after all looking at the iraq war where did a lot of the fighter bombers come ..the aircraft carriers. a nam style scenery with dynamic ground campaign would put this game at the same, actually higher level than falcon 4.0. i really enjoy flying strike fighter, i find it to be the best sim for general playability, ease of operation...ok maybe too easy, unless your in hard mode. and as for multi player, while i like to do this once in a while, that is not the driving force for me to play a game..maybe i am nuts, but after a hard days work, few thing in life give me as much pleasure than having my ai wingman and me take out a couple of airports and fuel dumps. then call it a night after dinner. now if we could just see the people scatter we are shooting at.....biosurge

vietnam and korea.....we have most of the equipment and the desire.....why not the scenery and cities...i would love to send in missions with the thuds and f4 to hanoi, or f100 or f86 to north korea...

loaded the scorpion, not able to get it to show up on the menu...i know i am missing something simple...but i have been brain dead for the past 2 weeks...unzipped and sent the folder to the appropriate place in the aircraft folder...am i missing a step or 2???..joe

i am having the same problem with win 2000, but then again xp and 200 use the same kernel....does anyone have any suggestions???

when will this be ready to download?

ok, found out the problem....i overclocked the cpu. i forgot that i had done this some time ago...i also overclocked the vid card...then set it back to normal...any way. i put the cpu back to default and bingo>>>>no ctd..i really don't know what goes through this pea sized brain sometimes...thanks for all the help everyone..joe

oh, this might be of interest to some...i downloaded the drivers from the leadtek site. not nvidia...it seems to have stabalized the system somewhat. this leads me to believe it is the vid card. i am not sure what the drivers have in that is different from the nvidia site. in the past i always thought of the nvidia drivers as being pure if downloaded from nvidia site. and if i go to the manafacturers site they were stuffed with extras that the individual company wanted for the card. i may be wrong..thanks joe biosurge

sony, thermal paste....use all the stuff to keep things cool..i have a thermaltake volcano copper cooler...weighs about 50 kilo..just kidding..any way..i am going to test everything in the wife's system and see where the problem may be...thanks again..joe

you got it..already changed out the ram...my next will be to send in the video card..i am overclocking the amd by 300 mhz....will put it back to factory specs..i think that the first time this showed up i was not overclocking though...i am not overclocking the vid card..it seem to run fairly hot anyway..i have an antec case with 5 fans...sounds kinda like a tomcat taking off an aircraft carrier when it is running but adds to the effect.. :). thanks for all the help..i am much less frustrated now...hey maybe the wife will let me upgrade???? naw.....joe biosurge

dagger, thanks for the advise,,,,,i have been able to duplicate the problem with flight 2002...sooooo. looks like it is not the game...right now i am wondering if it sisthe video card...when it crashes, i get a blue screen with a rather long error message. basically telling me that it had to do a memory dump. i think it also said something about an irq conflict..i will have to go back and write it down in detail...all the years i have worked on other peoples computers i have never been stumped like this...thanks joe

good question..i have not had a chance to try. if it is happeining in other games what is your prognosis??? an if not??? thank you joe

sorry about the caps everyone....i tried everything thing i could think of as far as the game settings go. this has been happening ever since i loaded the game. i did the patch, and right now no mods installed. tried again just a minute ago and still cannot play the until the end...thansk for the help though...joe

OH, FORGOT THE MOST IMPORTANT PART. LEADTEK G FORCE 4 4200, WITH THE LATEST DETONATOR DRIVERS....

OK, ANYONE OUT THERE IN SIM LAND HAVE A FIX FOR THE CTD IN STRIKE FIGHTER OR AM I THE ONLY ONE HAVING THE PROBLEM>>>>>>>>I SOME DAYS I CAN ONLY FLY FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES, OTHER TIMES, I CAN GET THROUGH A MISSION ONLY TO HAVE IT CRASH WHEN I AM HEADING BACK HOME...I ACTUALLY HAVE 2 ISSUES. THE CRASH TO DESKTOP, AND A LOCK UP WITH THE SOUND STUTTERING...CAN BE VERY ANNOYING. I HAVE TO RESTART FOR THE LATTER. OTHERWISE THE SIM IS GREAT TO PLAY....RUNNING AN AMD 2100, 512 DDR RAM, 100 GIG WESTERN DIGITAL, SOYO BOARD, ON BOARD SOUND, LAN, WIN 2000 PRO. NO OTHER PROGRAMS EXCEPT FOR MICROSOFT FLIGHT 2002, AND THE USUAL WINDOWS STUFF. THANKS IN ADVANCE JOE BIOSURGE
