Ive borrowed a pc with a 3dfx voodoo 3 graphic card, it does not show the textures of some 3rd party aircraft any ideas why?

Get a hammer.....


Ok, seriously, I'm not even sure a voodoo can play fs9. I'd suggest upgrading it, but if you have a voodoo card, chances are your comp is out of date as well and may not have AGP in which case, you are screwed. You might be able to get a pci gfx card, but your processor may bottleneck such a card.

Well it isn't your PC so dont worry too much.  Like Auto says that card is rather old and I doubt it fully supports everything within FS9.  Its probably supporting 32bit textures but not DXT3 ones or somthing along those lines.  Thats my guess anyhow.
