July 27, 200322 yr Hello simmersI just got the ATI Radeon 9800 pro 256 mb. I also just got FS2004. The graphics are absolutely spectacular!! However, there are two MAJORLY ANOYNING BUG with Catalyst 3.6 drivers. 1) When ever you press the alt button to access menues there are about 6 on/off screen flashes EVERY time which is increadily anoying and gives headaches. It might cause seizures which is NO joke. 2) When accessing emmbeded windows such as kneeboard with text scrolls within the text is increadily streched and unreadable which is quite anyoying for the nav log on the kneeboard.Has anyone (Beta Testers) wish FS9 FS2004 been able to find a fix for these two problems?Can someone running FS9/FS2004 please post both driver setting and fs setting for best image quality / fps?P4 2.4, 1 gig hyperX PC 3000On the upside the graphics especially with full AA and AF which will bring even your 3.06 to a crawl!! but I've been able to do some quick teeking and can get 15fps with real life image quality especially at DUSK!!! Clouds are spectacular!Help would be greatly appreciatedBillyBob
July 27, 200322 yr That's a commonly known problem now. ATI is aware of it. I've heard reports that the Cat 3.2 don't have the text problem. Also heard that the latest omega drivers fixed the text problem in FS2k2. www.driverheaven.net . If you're comfortable changing drivers, you might want to experiment some. Suspect the above issues you mentioned will be fixed in the Cat 3.7 issue. They're pretty good about fixing the little annoyances for us.
July 27, 200322 yr Well, that is reasurring. Hopefully that it will come quickly. I get headaches from all the flashing.
July 29, 200322 yr If I remember correctly, the text can be solved by disabling aniso in the driver display options (for CAT 3.6). Give it a try.
July 29, 200322 yr This problem can also be circumvented if you fly in Windowed mode rather than Full-screen.It's also reported that it can be circumvented if you fly with a full-screen resolution of 1600x1200.-Greg
