The problem I'm experiencing with Acceleration installed is Freezes when I
access the Options secondary menus i.e. "controls or whatever" while flying.
The video immediatelty freezes , sound carries on - have to hard boot and
restart. Remove accelerator module and AOK...Otherwise haven't had any prior
probllems with FS
Video is ASUS EN7950GT, 512Mb..Will try removing Start-up modules and see if
it has any bearing BUT I really think there's a glitch in this software
