Update! Did two convoy attacks (small, 9 ships 3-4 escorts) (daylight and night) w/IABL-no CTD.

Did a convoy attack (DH47) large, 25+ ships and 10 escorts. Attacked by destroyers. K-guns and depth charges, no crash. Pulled back (f12) to view convoy CTD.
Attacked same convoy again. Was in the middle of convoy at 25 meters-CTD.
Decided other changes needed to be made because of inconsistent results. Removed Nividia driver (191.07) replaced with latest nivisia driver 266.58. Replayed same mission and attack (DH47). Took out IABL, No CTD. Put IABL back in played it again, NO CTD. BUT, image quality was really bad and I couldn't make it better so I tried another nividia driver 191.13.

Image quality returned with old settings, but needed OLC Horizon Fix for NYGM to get better horizon (took out long distance sparkling effects). Played new mission 30 ships and 6 escorts. Weather windy, high waves mid morning. Got to convoy, CTD.

Made a minor change to OLC Horizon Fix.

Played Happy Times single mission 3 times w/o IABL NO CTD
Played Happy Times single mission 3 times with IABL No CTD. BUT I notices something w/IABL in. At times there was a slight struttering...when there were many ships nearby and I was maneuvering through the convoy.

Decided to go into the nividia control panel and make a change to the number of pre-rendered frames...was 3 increased it to 6.

Went back to the DH47 convoy attack w/IABL and the last change. I killed 9 merchants and got out of there clean. No close call with escorts, but I'm now pretty certain it probably wasn't them to start with.

Summary: The elimination of a Vista file (memory consumer), the increased size of my sway file, a driver change, a slight change to OLC's mod and the increase of pre-renderd frames. Probably swap fiile and pre-rendered frames changes were the most significant.
