You might be right, I remember I used to be anxious changing levels on all my Saitek clone computers, because invariably after scrolling past fun levels I got the bug, whereas if just kept it at the same level it would be sometimes months before i got it. I don't know if you remember but I used to play loads of tournaments with Cosmos and Company, so I used to be always nervous playing them. I even have supercharged Cosmos. If I were to search my old computers, I could probably find a Database of 2-300 games I played with Cosmos and sometimes it was months between H8 bugs.
But regardless of what triggers it, GK2100 don't have that bug and check their 64 levels template....In my opinion Saitek created the problem by messing around with the 64 Levels and in no way is it a coincidence that the Saitek's also all just happen to have the fun level bugs which the Gk2100's don't have, so the bugs are connected, in my opinion.
