I've only just realised, after visiting a friend who also uses FS2002, that I have no water effects! I get a few waves lapping against the shore, and my floatplanes leave a wake when moving on water, but I have no waves or movement. I've checked all my settings as per the fs2002 readme file and all is ok. I am using a 3.06 Ghz processor with 512 DDR ram and a Dforce4 MX440SE 128mb video card.
Any help appreciated.

Add the following lines to your diplay.cfg file at the end of the GeForce 2 section:

NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440
[000010DE:00000171]
DriverValidate2=1

Outstanding..
Sorted it out straight away. Many thanks from my floatplanes and I.
Just one thing. I used Notepad to edit the cfg. file and now all the cfg files have a notepad icon and have lost there file extensions. I assume this is normal as all is working well?

Many thanks again Ozzy.

No worries Zaphod, 42 and all that
As for the files, they are just a text file, so no worries there, but for simplification I always save them as .cfg just so I don't mess anything up.

And also what to do with a Pangalacticgargleblaster?
Nice one Ozzy.
Thanks again.

Oddly enough I'm drinking one right now
Oddly enough it does feel like I'm having my brains smashed out by a large gold brick wrapped in a slice of lemon

Hi Ozzy
Just curious - what does the line you mentioned do? I ask because I have a GeForce MX440 as well (but no graphic problems that I'm aware of).

Thanks

It enables some of the effects you would otherwise not see. There is some problem with the MX4xx series, and you need to add these. I don't really understand graphics cards, but I do know this fix of old
