flashing scenery

[zitisue]

Hi and would appreciate any help with following. When I fly on Fs9 now the scenery appears in dark blurry blocks in distance then flashes clearer and lighter as you get close. Its like flashing ( how anoying). I tried all different settings. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling. I updated my card drivers. I know I am doing something wrong because I did not always have this. I do install both payware and freeware but like I said I uninstalled and reinstalled to a virgin copy and still have the problem. Its tough to fly near water that shows blocks of dark and light blue. Thanks again for any help. Jeff

Just a thought.......

Did you do a "Full" install of FS 2004?
...and have you at least 2GB of RAM installed?

If the program is smoothly running form your "RAM Memory" rather than spooling from your Hard Drive every now and again, it will sometimes cure these annoying interruptions in loading Scenery areas......!

Thanks for response, yeah I have 2g's of ram, I am wondering if I have been doing a complete uninstall or maybe there are some rogue files loitering in my system from past installs and removals. Any thoughts? I am wondering also if there is a way to wipe everything clean without reformatting?  Jeff

I had similar problems with World Airports for FS2002 when I loaded them to FS9 (FS2004)
Also with KCLT Charlotte scenery in FS9.
I removed World Airports one at a time from scenery.cfg. and managed to get three airports okay?
KCLT had missing R8 or BMP texture files.
Open the likley bgl file in MS word and do searches for the missing texture. Long winded. But if you want the scenery worth doing! :-/
Other, is to remove last added scenery files from your scenery.cfg at one at a time to discover what is amiss.
Maybe this will help
