July 15, 200520 yr Of particular interest to FS2004 users is the latest version of ATI'c latest calalyst driver 5.7 - released today.Under items fixed, I quote:"Flight Sim 2004: Launching the application under Windows XP and enabling Anisotropic Filtering (AF) within the Catalyst
July 15, 200520 yr Dave, thank you for the update and link.:D Have you tried the drivers? Has anyone tried them? I am curious to see how they work. I will give them a try tonight. I still have my last drivers backed up incase it doesn't work.:DThanks again.Kevin
July 15, 200520 yr I installed them ... they seem ok . I didn't notice anything different from the previously recent drivers really but I guess I wasn't comparing carefully.I got the one with the control panel. I gt the one with the controlcentre last time and it's just an annoying flasy interface that takes long to load just to see some car driving along LOL

July 15, 200520 yr I loaded them last night and see no difference either (compared to the 5.4's).

July 15, 200520 yr was this problem also on the omega drivers? Omega all the way! faster, better quality, and less junk to hog the system resources!
July 15, 200520 yr >was this problem also on the omega drivers? Omega all the>way! faster, better quality, and less junk to hog the system>resources!I must agree that the Omega drivers always give a little extra something in terms of performance and quality. I have been using the the Omega 5.6 drivers with great satisfaction so I will probably wait for the Omega 5.7 instead of using the 5.7 directly from ATI.
July 15, 200520 yr Author I beg to disagree about the control center being just a "flashy interface".If you take the trouble to learn how to use it, it is actually a remarkably sophisticated way to guage the effect of tweaking the many available settings in the driver.If you click on this link below, you will find a superb tweaking guide for catalyst drivers, and also a very detailed explanation of how to use the Catalyst Control center:http://www.tweakguides.com/ATICAT_1.htmlGreetings
July 15, 200520 yr The problem isn't with the Control Center Dave. It's the bloat and inefficiency that comes with the requirement to install Microsoft .NET Framework to be able to use it. Just an awful process.

July 15, 200520 yr If using the new catalyst uninstaller, do you first delete the control center and drivers from the control panel? Howard Jetline Systems: Intel 8th Gen Core i7 8700K (4.8GHz Overclock); GTX 1080 Ti; LG Curved UltraWide 3440x1440 Monitor .
