Hey Guys

The other day I lost my aircraft pictures on the startup screen. I can load an aircraft by clicking on its name but no aircraft shows up in the view aircraft screen but it will load the bird and I can fly. Any iseas on how to fix this little problem?

Thanks
Chris

Sound like a common display problem with some video cards. Have you recently updated your video card drivers or changed the display settings?

Hey Hagar

I did just update the video driver and I guess thats when it started. Any Idea on how to correct it?

Hi Chris. I suspected as much. It's not really a serious problem. You could always revert to the original drivers or if everything else is OK I suggest you put up with it. I think you should still be able to see that preview from Windowed mode if you wish. (Alt + Enter)

Hey Hagar
Thanks for the quick responce. I did not see any changes involving the video card but the aircraft window after installing the new driver. Not sure what I'll do yet, may go back to the old driver if I cant get along with the new.
Thanks again.

Chris

lower the anti aliasing settings on your video card to 4x instead of 8x, this fixed it for me

Yeah, now you mentioned it, it sorted it out for me to............drop the anti-aliasing back as suggested.
