Not too often: I finally realised that these dot log files with _err_ in the filename are logs of generated errors. Colour me intuitive \:\)

Please compare this report if you get this problem: and please help if you know what the problem is?

I deduce Watson that it's an ATI OpenGL error, I'm on 4.1 and wondering about the 3.7 dll yes \:\) but first to see if this is a known problem

What I mean is, I can do lots of things to change my system files around - run different versions of the OGL driver and change graphics settings and so on - but this error log might be more meaningful to someone who's fixed it in the past so I'll hang on for Snap!s before precipitating the usual system carnage [translation for Siggi: when lacking solid info do nothing that might actually make things worse without a plan of some sort and lots of note-taking and strong liquor and lots of it] \:\)

Always seems to throw the screen freeze when hosting and manoeuvering hard, upside down would trigger this once but that was in early IL-2 and that seemed to have been fixed. Again now rears the ugly head if I can say that before an American audience. It's Milton or something so don't get stroppy you'll look a fool eventually \:\)

TIA

Error log filename: hs_err_pid2948.log
