bumfpdon't ask me to explain this ;-)

I wish I could help you with the black screen problem. Are you SURE the card is PCI? Otherwise you MAY have the same difficulty I had when I tried to upgrade to a GEForce card. It's possible your motherboard will just not accept it.I was running a P3, 700 mhz machine with at TNT2Ultra 32 mg card and attempted to upgrade four times to a GEForce card -- no go. They simply did NOT work!I finally changed MBs to one with AGP 2-4 support and the card worked fine. You may want to check your MB documentation (if you have it) and see how much AGP support you have. Just a thought.-Lindy :-wave

thats just my luck...yup i'm pretty sure i don't have an agp slot(i already got the agp geforce 2 mx400....wanna buy ? :-) )but geez....this is pretty shocking news.....anywayz,thanx a lot...i'll contact dell,see what they've got to say...see ya,fly safe

i got a fantastic sound for the heli @flightsim....just go search for eurocopter in the fs2000 sound library. if u dont find it, give me a notice and ill upload it on my server for you......

thanx mate,i'll try that!!!oh...and the prob with the vga card is solved.....i haveto plug my monitor ionto the new card,my dell automatically disables the onboard video...:-lol told ya i was stupid..thanks for helping out guys,and a real good christmas to ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I copied the soundset out of another excellent Dauphin file in the Library here. Go to extended search and look for "up_air491.zip" (minus quotes). It's about 2.5 MB.Do these things in this order and you'll be a happy camper: COPY the files from the SOUND folder in the zipfile to the SOUND folder just off FS2002. Then rename dauphin_int.wav to he4.wav, and dauphin_c_x.wav to xhe4.wav. A lovely soundset that reminds me a LOT of Blue Thunder (dating myself, here) --BeachComer Stephen "Beach" Comer Real World Pile-it Commercial ASMEL, Instrument Airplane 4500 TT, 2500 BE20 & BE10 Serving Happy Landings Since 1973!
