Thanks for the info james

i think the name of the mission i have trouble with is "Laying an egg on lae" theres is so much flak and so many planes and ships that it wasnt really even worth playing the mission,
but i'll try your idea, i actually have the sound jacked up the whole way in the settings,didnt think that would do it.
i have had trouble with frame rates forever, its always skipping and i realize i'm only running a 1.2 ghz computer. but we'll see, i'll try your idea tonight
