I had no problems playing single player and campaign missions. I tried an online mission with my squadron and my HOTAS inputs were intermittent, and very erratic. I couldn't get the aircraft to taxi, then I'm shooting across the sod with afterburners on.

Now I can't even play single missions. I boot up the A-10 AGM-65 training mission and as soon as it starts I get snow. Not atmospheric, but pixles doing a little glittery dance. As soon as I activate a Mavrick seeker it increases, then as soon as I move the pipper the game locks and the screen goes blank. I don't know if it's hardware or software.

I have the game settings on medium with; water off, heat blur off, reflections off. I am running Catalyst 3.9 drivers. AA and AF off both set to 4x, and fast write off. What if anything wuld you suggest I try next?
