Startup screen missing aircraft

[NCGent]

Hey Guys

When I start FS9 now all I get is a black box where the rotating aircraft once was, is there something I can do to repair this and if there is how do I do it?

Thanks
Chris

This happens with Nvidea cards. Either back down on your AA setting (4x) or switch to windowed mode (Alt+enter) with higher AA settings. I leave my AA at 8xS, and switch to windowed mode if I need a preview.

I use an older driver version (84.66) with my 7600GT, so don't know if the latest drivers help this issue.

As for newer drivers- I say avoid them. They are often unstable, and ruined my pc when I last updated them. the ones your pc came with are always more stable. The 84 serise of drivers for Nvidia are the best, and safest ones, at least in my experience.

Hey guys

Thanks for your answers. I went back to an old driver and everything is fine now, thats wild!
