Preferences & air sorties & flickering & crashes

[Noah_Vaile]

Now I understand that the number of air sorties, when specified in preferences is for a maximum number. I will not always get all, or any, that I specify. I also know that if I specify "0" then there should be none. Period. I have noticed in the summary after battle (when I am admiring the devastation I have wrought) that even though I have set the AI air sortie number to "0" there are a few enemy a/c on the roster. Even though they never got into play, they shouldn't be there at all. Right?

When I go into the mission map there is a lot of flickering as the mouse flits about. The entire screen trembles.
When I am rolling the numbers to increase the number of battles in a (generate or) long campaign the screen flickers each time I raise the number. Is this a game problem or unique to my computer?

I have also had a random(?) crash as I finished setting up a Long Campaign. Continue...crash!!

I have WW2 v.1.0 with the 1,1B patch installed.
