The only way I've been able to defeat AHM's was by hitting the deck and making tight turns once you figure out which direction the missile was launched from. Not exactly "tactical" and probably not how you would do it in the real world but it has saved my virtual life quite a few times. Doesn't always work though...

Thanks, Crusader! I added your lines to the cockpit.ini file and it now works great! One question I have is what does itemnumber=xxx stand for? I saw that there were other itemnumbers in the file and thought that they corresponded to the numbers that the original creator gave to the panels in the cockpit and so I didn't dare mess with it.

Hi all, I've recently fired back up SF2 after a while away from playing and I've noticed that whenever I play a campaign, the game crashes about 10 minutes into it. It doesn't seem to happen when I select single mission. The only thing I can think of is that I updated the game to June 2013 about three months ago. However, I know that certain aircraft require the June 2013 update to work correctly which was the reason I updated the game. Before I remove and reinstall the game, I was wondering if any of you guys have had this problem and if so, can you tell me if it is related to the patch or not? I read several posts regarding this issue and it seems that the GraphicsEngineDX10.dll file may be the culprit. Though it may or may not be irrelevant, I installed DirectX 9 to play another game about a month ago under the impression that the DIrectX on my computer (DX11) will not be corrupted in any way. Could the installation of DirectX 9 have something to do with this problem? Here is the error from the event viewer Thanks, maverickvf142

**UPDATE 2** Well, I have played about an hour into the game starting near the target. I am going to test starting from home base since most of the crashes either occur shortly after takeoff from runway or when I decide to refly after unsatisfactory results. Refly does not seem to be a problem since I've reflown several missions starting near the target. I will test starting from the runway tomorrow when I have time as well as the refly option. I feel pretty confident that the hotfix took care of the problem BUT again, I was able to play about an hour through a campaign starting from runway before crashing earlier today before the hotfix. Tomorrow is my first day at my new job so I guess I'm gonna have to take a break from SF2 for the rest of tonight.

I have Windows 8.1 **UPDATE 1** I found a hotfix for July 2013 and it seems to be working. Not sure though. I'm going to give it a test run and update you guys after a few campaign missions. Here's the link of the hotfix for those who may encounter this problem in the future http://combatace.com/files/file/15186-sf2-hotfix-july-2013/
