747 image help

[jnigeld11]

Cheers all! I'm having continued problems with all variations of the FSX 747's and Bombardiers...they all look like the screenshot I'm posting here. I don't have the same problems with any other aircraft. Anyone know what might be causing this problem with just these aircraft?

That's what happens when your video card is incapable of handling vertex shaders. This problem is most common with cards that are NOT DX9 based.

Many thanks for the reply! I can't recall what vertex shading is, but I do know my graphics card is DX9 capable and I have the latest DX9. My card is the Nvidia 128mb 5200 FX 3D with latest drivers. Thought it kinda wierd it was just the 747's and Bombardiers. Possibility of corrupt texture files? Also wondering if upgrading to 256mb card might solve it, but I'm trying to cover "all the bases" before having to spend the cash!

Regards and thanks again,
