Blocky propellers after latest re-install

[ItchySix]

Hi folks...
Recently had my game crashing..thought it was a new soundcards incompatibilities..but it turned out to be faulty ram..
As part of the trouble shooting,CFS1 was completely removed,which was soul destroying as I had tweaked so much of it..
Im now flying again,but theres one niggly problem that I just cant seem to correct..
Propellers are now blocky triangles instead of the usual blurry black lines...a work around has been to not have them show,which is fine I guess,but they can still be seen on the enemies planes..and its annoying the heck out of me...
Is there an add-on that I have missed,or a tweak in a config file somewhere...
Ive got the latest drivers,I've tried all sorts of graphics options,trawled the net for solutions,asked as many knowlegeable people I know, but I'm stumped..
Its a very minor point I know,but it is affecting my game because every time the enemy is in my sights or passes me,Im not concentrating on the kill, Im growling at the 3 stupid triangles on the nose of his craft....
Thanks in advance for any ideas put forward...

Just a guess, but are you by chance running in software mode?

Errrrrrrm!!

software mode??

not sure what you mean by that?

I'm blonde by the way!

Go to 'settings', and under 'display', make sure the 'enable hardware acceleration' box is checked.

I doubt that's it, though. The props in cfs1 are just pretty ugly in vc mode.

Even on my machine (And Its a pretty good one) the prop looks less than splendid from the VC, but I doubt its that as he says he see's it on the opponents plane too. Is it only in that FS?
