Game Installed today

Run the game for a few hours. Not sure about the graphics. I find the detail very poor, the ground looks like squares and few trees and some buildings. In flight action lacks any detail. Ive run at all settings and not much diffrence. FPS 30 to 70.
Surely this is not right what am I missing.
Its looks about the same as the 1st online multiplayer sim I played years ago Fighter Ace.
Also I joined multiplayer last night and there were a handfull of games with a few players in is there another lobby about to join?
Also the enemy planes looked like there flying in the ground and out again whats all that about? ???

Have you downloaded directX 9.0 from MS, and do you have the latest video drivers for your card?

Thats latency, nothing to do with the game, but yours, and the host's internet connection.

Hi,

I had exactly the same problem with fs2002.
Tried everything to fix it and no luck.

Eventually I uninstalled the game then reinstalled it, that fixed the problem.
I can only think that something went wrong on the original install.
