Alright, I'm lost.

I installed the patch to the UI 1.1 (the 1.1.1 patch)

Fire up IL2, setup the same conditions (1 A6M3-32 vs 4 TBM-3 Avengers on Coral Sea)

Hit fly, and for maybe five to ten seconds the game runs normally. Then I get the message again.

I'll have another look at my files. Perhaps I should reinstall the plane and hope for the best.

Thanks again for the advice.
