I am in the same boat as you.
I have gone from 2-3hrs without CTD to 10minutes just about every time.
I have spent my whole Sunday trying this and that.
ie.
Deleted Cache folder - it re-built on start
Re-installed ATI graphic Drivers & CCC
Re-installed old Driver
Disabled Steam 'in-game' overlay
Disabled Steam 'synch to Cloud'
Monitored Graphics card temp & activity
Disabled 'sound=0' in conf
Disabled TrackIR
Disabled CH Manager
Substituted files here & there...


Whatever it is ...it happens in 10-15mins when only in the air...on ground is okay...was sitting for over 1hr on ground engine running.
Though it does NOT happen in Single Player

When I returned to last patch...all was good.

Any ideas ppl??

No ideas, because I am having the same experience.

I received this tip from different users at the forum, and this proved to work:

For those with problems starting the game after the patch, don't use Winzip. Try to uncompress the patch with 7Zip or WinRar.
Winzip apparently works, but the result is that the game crashes right after starting it.

Thanks Bounder! and David198502 for advising. Devs, I think that this is important to be noted on the first post.
Now for the testing!

this is well spotted
