Strange display at startup

[drdickie 2]

I start FS9 in the "create a flight" mode. All at once the PMDG aircraft give me the screenshot attached while loading the navdata. Other aircraft do not. Although the aircraft seem to perform all right, it takes almost a minute for the navdata to load.I have a GeForce 6800 Ultra video card using the 81.95 WHQL driver from the nVidia website. I have AA turned off in FS9, and usually run the card at AA 4x, AF 4x, high quality, and vertical sync on. I have downloaded a new copy of the driver, reinstalled after using a driver cleaner, etc. I have also changed the video card settings, etc. Nothing seems to affect what I see at startup.I have also deleted my fs9.cfg file and allowed FS9 to rebuild.Anyone else ever see this? Any comments or observations?Thanks.http://forums.avsim.net/user_files/135624.jpg

It happened after you upgraded your display drivers.... Didn't it?Or enabled more antialiasing than it can handle?

I get the same thing. Quite annoying. It goes away if FS is in window mode. PatAMD A64 4000+ @ 2.6GHz, Zalman7700Cu cooler, Corsair XMS 1GB DDR, LTK6800GT-OC, Asus A8V MoBo, WDRaptor10KrpmHDD, TrackIR4, XP-hsp2

Yes, it happened after installing 81.95 drivers. The AA setting does not seem to matter.

I have reinstalled some earlier WHQL nVidia drivers and it is still happening. So, maybe it is not just an 81.95 driver problem. Nothing I have done, changing AA, AF, VS, and fs9.cfg, has caused the problem to go away. The only thing I have not done is to reinstall the PMDG aircraft.Anyone from PMDG have any comments on this?Thanks.

Me too.I get it every time I load the aircraft in FS.:(

I have now found that if I set my video card AA to 8xS with a new installation of nVidia driver 81.95 WHQL, the strange display goes away when loading PMDG aircraft. But, then, AdvDisp, necessary to use Radar Contact, does not display correctly. Maybe you can't win?Thanks for the comments and verification that I am not seeing things.
