If I'm getting this right, your planes are falling apart in mid-air.  OK, try Alt/Enter, which is a switch to/from full to partial screen.  Same thing happens to me sometimes, the switch trick always works.

I'll try that. Btw I noticed that it had also happened to the buildings. I bet it's probably something to do with the video card. I'm going to buy one, that's what I'll do that way I can play fs2004 as well.

Thanks anyways.

Make sure you don't have any faulty or non-compatible scenery, planes, or anything.

You might first try the latest drivers for your GeForce (53.03 assuming you have XP) from the Nvidia site. I believe the 52.xx drivers have issues with DirectX 9.x.

I run both 2002 and 2004 on my GForce2, albeit; with reduced settings in 2004, but very flyable, just not a 'purrty' as it could be with a better card.

Cheers,
Dave

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

First of all Thanks to all of you for helping me out. I haven't encountered the problem anymore. I am going to try the newest drivers though.

That's what I do most of the times but whenever I get those messed up textures. it happens to the buildings as well sothe whole game is kinda messed up.

Should I double the RAM? I can get some crucial which is a good brand for about $70 which will probably help with performance a lot.
